RPG Gamers summaryRealms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown is a classic retro computer role-playing game that takes players on a journey to a world of fantasy and adventure. The game is set in a land that has fallen into chaos and is in dire need of heroes to save it from a sinister and powerful force of evil. Players must navigate through a massive sprawling world filled with wild forests, frozen plains, misty mountains, scorched deserts, and endless oceans. At various stops such as cities, towns and villages, players can rest and recover while also buying equipment, talking to sages, warriors, peasants and sovereigns, and getting aid. Players can also traverse the open seas or pilot boats up rivers to explore new territories. The game features tactical combat and allows players to control up to four characters at a time. It has enhanced 16-color bitmap graphics and over 250 unique powerful items, 60 spells, and seven schools of magic, along with a wide range of over 200 terrifying monsters. With complex dialogue and multiple NPCs, Realms of Antiquity provides an immersive gaming experience that challenges players at every stage. Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown runs in full emulation on modern Windows systems and is also compatible with the original hardware. It requires a PC running Windows OS 7-10.
