I just noticed that there is not an Unreal World thread yet in the TEST forums. You're lucky I'm here to fix that :slight_smile:
I've been playing videogames for almost 30 years now, and this is one of my favorite games ever. A real work of love from the Finnish brothers Sami and Erkka, its development started as early as 1990 as a regular roguelike, but slowly evolved into what may be the most realistic, complex, and deep survival game in existence.
UnReal World, or UrW, is a unique graphical roguelike RPG taking place in the Far North long, long ago. It brings you a realistic game world rich with historical atmosphere in which northern folklore, knowledge and way of life play an important part. The atmosphere and game features are highly original and compelling. The world of the game is based on the ancient Finland in the late Iron Age.
Throughout the years, UnReal World has been praised for its depth, realism, atmosphere and immersion.
As a member of one of the nine different cultures you'll enter a very realistic and enchanting game world:
- find excitement in surviving everyday life and the quest for success in the harsh ancient wilderness
- play freely or complete various game tasks in a huge randomly generated world
- skill-based system including dozens of skills from COOKERY to HIDEWORKING
- keep in touch with the indigenous spirit world and the supernatural guardians of nature
- packed with intuitive graphics and pictures, original music and sounds
..there are infinite ways to play the game:
as a fisherman, a hermit searching for the peace, a brave adventurer, a rough hunter, a trapper or a tradesman etc. Everything is up to you.
Tired of shooting zombies and punching trees? Then this is the game you're looking for. You can download it for free (yes, free) in the official page. You can buy it at Steam, or even better from the official page and get a nice forum badge (and you'll get the latest version that way). It works in MacOS and Linux too, and it's easily moddable.
The new official forums are here, but there are tons of useful and not so outdated info in the legacy forum.
Disclaimer: With a punishing permadeath system, and graphics and a UI system that would make Dwarf Fortress feel proud, UrW is not for the faint of heart. Play at your own risk.
