Help the three thieves survive in medieval adventures.
Dark Ages II: Engel is a large scale, nonlinear adventure about three thieves trying to survive in a world that is slowly falling into anarchy. Set with medieval theme, the plot contains several checkpoints that fork the adventure to different paths that open and close sub-quests. Playing the game a second time could reveal a different way of winning. Version 1.2 has improved documentation, in-game keyboard command map, and minor bug fixes.
It is one of the best old school style games of it's type I've seen for free. The story is well developed and the game play is fairly challenging, making up for the lack of advanced graphics. It's definitely worth playing, if you like old school games (Nintendo).
Cons
