The Earth Lords is a classic single-character dungeon crawling RPG. It has a complex character system with 9 races and 9 classes to choose from, 22 skills to invest points into, and 40 equipment slots. The game’s design makes good use of non-combat skills, with swimming allowing the player to cross water, climbing allowing the player to get to places he can’t get to without it, and architecture allowing the player to move through solid walls. The game also features, unusually for an RPG, enemy infighting similar to DOOM or Quake.
