Review
This is official description
Egoboo is an open source, cross-platform computer game. It's a three-dimensional dungeon crawling adventure that borrows a lot of elements from the rogue like genre. Egoboo is still under development, but it is fully playable.
Egoboo could be called a lot of things; "ARPG", "hack and slash", or perhaps "rougelike". It is an action-based adventure game with a unique mood and style. In Egoboo, you will slay hordes of foul monsters, explore many unusual locations, and get lots of really cool loot. Your ultimate quest is to save Lord Bishop, the king of the land, from the evil Dracolich. It is a difficult task, and you will have to face unbelievable danger to accomplish your goal.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 2.6
Egoboo is a dungeon adventure game with several characters to play. The goal of this game is to find five magic sparks and rescue the king - but it won’t be easy because of the lich who kidnapped the king. You are allowed to play as any of the following characters: Adventurer, Wizard, Healer, Soldier, Elf, Gnome, Rogue, Paladin and Archaeologist; and every character has his own skills and special characteristics to succeed in this quest.
You can play using your keyboard, mouse or control pad (with 8 buttons, preferably). Playing with mouse is more difficult because its sensitivity needs to be adjusted in order for you to get good control. The game's Video and Audio settings can be adjusted; however, there is no need to touch any configuration to start playing right away.
It’s a very entertaining game full of creatures and bugs to fight. In some occasions you must use some magic or special power to pass and overcome those creatures.
You will see a couple of error windows after the game's installation, and it will not create any menu entries or shortcuts. However you can look for the installation folder and launch the game from there. |
- Good performance.
- Friendly GUI.
- Simple and fun.
|
- The installation process doesn’t end successfully, but the game still can be played.
- A couple of options not implemented yet.
