Whats not to love about an enhanced version of an RPG classic?

For all the years this has been out, this is still one of my top all time favorite roleplaying games for PC. I love that there is a community built around this, will to keep the patches going, adding extra content and fixes. If you haven't played this yet, give it a go. I cannot wait for the sequel!

AntharioN is enjoyable for what it is: A generic old-school style top-own isometric RPG PC game, and it's the one and only release from the now-disappeared Orphic Software. That being said, I hope this game remains on STEAM for a long time and I reccomend everyone who loves RPG's buy this very game (when it's on sale). I very much enjoy playing this game, I'm not putting it down and I would have liked Orphic to have stayed around a bit longer just to see what else they could have released! Not bad for a "one and only", some companies can't even get that right...

More about the game:
Gameplay seems a little unbalanced at first, you need to save before every door you lock-pick. Save before you open every door because of possible fights... everything else about this is a straightforward cRPG.
It's not the *best* by far, but its fun.

There is a reason this game is free. In my opinion, poorly executed. The use of "weapons" is not very well done. At least the person who made the game made sure there was a bit of "creepy atmosphere", but that's all the positivity I can give this. So glad I didn't spend money on this!

I remember playing this on my friend's computer back in the late 1990's. I would spend the night at his place hanging out and I would stay up most of the night playing one of the many games he had. He preferred DOS and Linux over Windows, so I learned a lot about those OS's from him. I really enjoyed playing through the Commander Keen series especially, it was an interesting platformer, and I liked it much better than Super Mario. I've always wondered if the Commander Keen series was ever released to console, how popular could it have become? Good thing I have DOSBox! I can play this game exactly how I used to.
This is NOT for gamers into newer platform games... unless you want to play this for research. The controls are a bit clunky, the levels are more suited to someone maybe grade-school age, the graphics alone tell you how old this game is. More than anything, I'm playing and enjoying this for pure nostalgia. If you don't mind a simple platformer with a simple premise, something to pass the time- Commander Keen fits that bill! Plus, it has a cuteness factor, so theres that. Completely enjoyable for what it is.
