Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan

Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan adapts the tabletop fantasy role-playing system into a substantial computer adventure filled with exploration, combat, character development, and the sort of dangerous dungeon corridors that make you wonder why adventurers never choose careers with better lighting. Players create and manage a party, travel through the world, encounter monsters, and make decisions that shape their progress. Combat is turn-based and demands some thought, while character statistics and equipment give the game plenty of traditional RPG depth. The setting has a distinctive fantasy flavour, mixing humour with the more familiar ingredients of swords, spells, treasure, and unpleasant things hiding in dark places. The interface can feel old-fashioned now, but once you understand its systems there is a satisfying amount of freedom in how you approach the adventure. Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan is a worthwhile curiosity for fans of early computer RPGs and tabletop adaptations, particularly those who enjoy mechanics more than flashy presentation.
