Hello all,

I'm playing Knights of pen and paper for the second time, it's a nice time waster IMO (free part is better than the paid one, again IMO).

Last cRPG I really liked was Neverwinter Nights, but it has sure aged a little bit.

Would love a lazy rpg on android or a slightly more story rpg on linux (no graphic card ๐Ÿ˜…).

Any recommendations?

Thank you all ๐Ÿ’– !

Pick up a GBA/DS emulator for Android and play Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced/A2

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Or even better Advance wars on my gba micro! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Such a shame that my DS linker died some years ago and there seems to be no new ones, good screen and lots of nice games (I used it for GBA games too because of the screen).

The Avernum series, on Steam. There's at least six.

Another I just thought of is Legend of Grimrock.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I already have that one on steam, good catch, I'll check if it runs well on my little linux box!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wrath of the righteous runs pretty poorly in my experience, no really playable without a graphic cards. Kingmaker works better though

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you will check out! I always thought it was realtime.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting, will definitely check out now. Thanks!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon, for Android

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not a that huge fan of the a bit too random probability to win in PD, have only played the original though...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, shattered is better. I survive longer, anyway.

morrowind with openmw should be fine on both android and linux

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, gotta see if a 22 yo game still has it :-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

it is my fave game ever and still has a cozy but sizeable community, I hope you have fun with it

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Slice and dice on android is pretty good. It's turn based fighting hame with a group of 5 different members that you can level 3 times through the missions into a ton of different classes. It's pretty tough but super fun and addictive and bound to piss you off sometimes due to heavy rng when you die on a boss

You can play the demo for free and the full game is a few dollars, well worth the hours I've put in at least.

Already had it installed ๐Ÿ˜Š but didn't get through the tutorial, a mix of too much "stuff" hard to grasp (right away, I mean it's the tutorial).

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Exiled Kingdoms on Android.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This ^ on PC and stoneshard

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Already tried it :-) a bit ooold but I'll try to plod along for a while.

Stoneshard looks promising, if it works on Linux it'd be a breeze to setup from steam too, thanks!

Wow now that was a feeling I havent felt for I guess a quarter of a century, those graphics ๐Ÿ˜.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not really a time waster, but a classic: Lone Wolf Saga

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The old Might & Magic games are very nice. Especially 4 and 5 that you can combine into an even bigger game with additional quests and an ultimate ending are awesome. And it should even run on your phone through ScummVM.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean Heroes of Might & Magic? I remember there were several closely named ones. Played the 3 so much :-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, just Might and Magic. Same universe but different genre. They were RPGs while the Heroes series was strategy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, will check out the 4 :-) !

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm working on one, solo dev though - will be a while
