Darklands
Darklands is a realistic fantasy RPG set in 15th-century Germany where you lead a party of adventurers across a detailed map featuring over ninety cities. Combat occurs in real time with pause functionality to issue tactical orders. Character progression relies on skill-based development and alchemy rather than traditional classes. The game emphasizes historical authenticity, incorporating mythical beasts, robber-knights, and religious intrigue into its narrative. Players shape their own quest for fame and fortune through exploration, dialogue, and strategic decision-making in a world where choices have lasting consequences.

Throwback Thursday Recommendation
We share the earnest reasons that make a classic game so dear to us!
Recommended by Judas, Technical Customer Support Specialist at GOG: If you’re looking for an RPG that is different from the usual Dungeons & Dragons fare from the early 1990s then look no further. Set in medieval Germany, Darklands offers real time with pause combat and an interesting magic system that uses the power of prayer and alchemy. Break apart witch covens, perform quests for the Hanseatic League, and free people from the oppressive rule of various Raubritters (robber barons).
