If you’ve ever dreamed of being a grumpy bearded guy swinging an axe and saving the world before second breakfast, Bloodstone: an Epic Dwarven Tale is your jam. Released in 1993 for DOS, this RPG tosses you into a world where dwarves don’t just drink ale—they also wield magic and have surprisingly complex political issues. It’s got the usual tropes: evil forces, forgotten relics, and the undeniable urge to hoard gold like a dragon in denial. Combat is turn-based, exploration is chunky, and the graphics scream “early '90s pixel art” with pride. It’s quirky, charming, and yes, everyone looks like they’re frowning—even when saving the world.
