RESURRECTED: These games (rows) deserve a revival urgently!

A turn-based method (TBS) game is a strategy game (usually some kind of wargame, particularly a strategic-level wargame) where players take turns when playing. This is distinguished from real-time approach (RTS), in which all players play simultaneously.

On the occasion of the releases of Diablo 2 resurrected and the continencasts surprisingly announced by THQ Nordic, we have asked ourselves in the PC Games editorial team, which games should still be recorded by the current revival wave. In the following, Sascha, Chris Footy, Michi, Stefan and Maci present their personal favorites.

Everquest

Studio: Rerant Interactive I Publisher: Daybreak Game Company Genre: MMORPG i Release: April 28, 2000 Platforms: PC, PlayStation 2

Yes, I know, I say that often, but: Everquest 1 rocks. Earlier significantly more than today, but that does not change my statement. With the second part, however, I have never been so warm because it was basically a badly performing wow, after all with Housing, but otherwise irritated. Above all, EQ2 was not a continuation of the first part of me so hot. Fair, however, should be emphasized that the developers did not want to offer exactly that, but rather offer a beginner-friendly alternative to the then rather bulky EQ.

Unfortunately, the shortly thereafter, the World of Warcraft did that make it much better - which EQ2 has broken the neck in addition to the unfinished state to the release then relatively quickly. Although the game is still running today, but the power struggle with Blizzard had been lost after just a few weeks.2012 then Everquest Next was finally confirmed - with stronger action focus, far comic liable graphic, plenty of sandbox features and the most strongest editor who has ever been announced for a MMORPG. The concept had many fans, which I honestly did not count, but it has been unsightly: the developer was polluted by Sony to new developers, there was a discharge wave, Eq Next disappeared in the Nirwana of the set games, the independent editor Landmark short Then also. EverQuest Source: Daybreak Games Since then, the Everquest brand has been absolutely nothing more. I wish that a real third part appears. With a focus on group game and exploration, with a few more modern features, like also with Housing. Especially the relentless world with the harsh punishments for a virtual death has been greater, more dangerous and mysterious effect than making today s MMOS. Here you still had to rare with other players and have experienced together adventure, dungeons through, raided raid bosses.

But I also know: The chances are extremely low, because the game principle of EQ is just over 20 years old and the habits of players have changed. That s what you can see in the development of long running games like EverQuest or WoW, whose concepts changed over the years. But I just hope that there are enough MMO veterans who would also endure such a old gameplay. Meanwhile, I then sit my hopes in Pantheon: Rise of the fall, should that ever appear.

Fantasy General:

Studio: Strategic SimulationSi Publisher: Mindscape Genre: Strategy I Release: 1996 Platforms: PC

Come from an unrealistic sequel to something unrealistic: a general strategy game in the styles of the SSI Works of the Early 90s - Panzer General, Fantasy General, Star Generalund Co. even if the WW2 offshoot of the series in most fans than the best Apply, I ve been a huge fan of the fantasy offshoot since then: For me, Fantasy General is still one of my absolute strategy favorites, but the epic music! Like a strategy of ring war with matching acoustics.

Now, at this point, many will bring the legitimate objection: but to Fantasy General recently seemed a continuation. That s correct and I personally found Fantasy General 2 even nice. I only find that it is not a real sequel and better got a different name. Above all, the far-reached gameplay through the plunder mechanics has spoiled me some mission. Also in the Ur-Fantasy General, of course, there was a roundlimit, so I had to tail the army part I send where I reach within the limits as much as possible all the primary goals and as much bonus rewards, without me too big Losses Empty - in the optimal case even no! Fantasy General 2 Source: PC Games In the second part, however, I am mainly due to higher levels of difficulty already at the beginning of each game across the card, to write the much-to-rar-sorting army upgrades, without too much consideration of their own units. That was sometime to me. In the first part I was proud if I had managed to keep a unity from the start of the campaign to the end, to upgrade, to upgrade and lay down. In the second part, I more often sacrifice troops, because the upgrade bonuses are more important to come than fail-free through the battle. Since the classic approach is better.

Especially since the original was also far more fantasy in it when the game is already called Fantasy General. Here I send from the beginning - depending on the chosen hero - advertising, lizard, tree warrior, invisible, dragons, Pegasi, Oger or centaurs in the battle, while in the second part a trunk Schnöder Vikings commanded. That sometime the one or the other troll passes, does not change much anymore. It was better only with the DLCs, which integrated much more mytry into the new campaigns. The bottom line is Fantasy General 2 therefore no right continued, at least no such that I would have wished. And even if you like them: a new tank General or Star General (the same chose in space with spaceships, futuristic tanks and co) would be nice. Stupid only that SSI is no longer exists - maybe another developer like the FG2 makers snaps one of the licenses and starts the whole thing classic .
