Brány Skeldalu

Classic and suprisingly timeless given how simple in its core it is... cant recommend, there are gamebreaking bugs related to puzzles, that will leave you absolutely clueless and unless youre speaking czech, good luck trying to find a solution on internet... shame. i wont ever recommend broken games the game doesnt explain almost anything, like what those spells you cast actually do... this should be ingame and i shouldnt bother myself googling the simple explanations... while i appreciate the compatibility, it is obvious that the ingame manual should have been part of the game in options.... the combat itself is also a joke, there is clear initiative of all enemies and your characters, but its all random number generator, you will never know how to sequence your turn properly, because it doesnt make any sense, once you start encountering enemies, that will run away from you, you will know what i mean... basically you set actions and then you watch the turn unfold... bartering is so stupid yet so complicated if you look at the numbers behind the process in a guide... basic stat redistribution is also a mystery to me (health, mana) when you make your characters you basically s…

Not recommended, very overrated for what it is, a basic bare bones blobber with a very basic and amateurish art direction, seems made in MS paint. Very questionable (read wtf) mechanics even a ridiculous (for a blobber) food/water starvation system which is with absolutely bizarre and out of place, your strolling along and a random character starts to die bit by bit like if it were poison, so you guess guy is poisoned, maybe they'll make their saving throw or smt, but guess what it's not poison, character is thirsty, so he loses hit point by hit point till dead, if you try to use all the ♥♥♥♥ you picked up you deduce he was thirsty, good, that was the only water bottle, so 5 steps later another character decides to go thirsty and soon enough everyone dies, seems the game world is a sub-Saharan desert with MS paint trees plastered on the background for esthetic purposes, dev couldn't even bother to make a pdf manual to explain all this ♥♥♥♥. Then you have all the interesting ctd because the programming is obviously stellar. smh. This reissue apparently was freeware until they decided to sell it on steam to those who had bought the original game back in 98 for nostalgia effect, so m…

I've played the majority of renowned dungeon crawlers out there, however this one turned out to be a serious disappointment. I get that it's around 28 years old, it's just not as fleshed out as Dungeon Master or countless others from around the same time period. Originally tried to get the freeware online version running with English, and it was just not working no matter how many times I followed the instructions with careful detail. The game looks pretty decent, however the combat feels like you have zero control over it and the forward movement animation is not fluid making you question your perspective and your in game position. Never had to guess if I was truly facing a wall back in Mt Anaias. Whomever came up with the name 'blobbers' should leave this hobby and take up birdwatching instead.

Very fun blobber (turn based, grid based), with an interesting gimmick of being able to split the party into 2 or more blobs to solve puzzles and strategically win fights. Recommended if you're looking for a classic crawler. Quite a few challenging puzzles too, but you can get some help from the steam guides. I explored every nook and cranny in 30 hours.

Brány Skeldalu is a classic fantasy role-playing game developed by Napoleon Games and published by Jindřich Skeldal that brings an old-school dungeon-crawling experience back into the spotlight for modern players. Originally released in the late 1990s and later reintroduced to a broader audience, the game represents a style of RPG design that values patience, exploration, and thoughtful progression over convenience and accessibility. Rather than adapting itself entirely to contemporary trends, it embraces traditional mechanics and creates an adventure that feels firmly rooted in the era of classic computer role-playing games. Set within the mystical land of Rovenland, the story centers around an approaching catastrophe connected to dangerous magical forces threatening the stability of the world. Five powerful mages attempt to open a forbidden gateway tied to mysterious dimensions and destructive power beyond human control. To prevent disaster, heroes are summoned to travel across dangerous territories, uncover hidden truths, and eventually confront the growing darkness before irreversible destruction consumes everything. The narrative structure follows familiar fantasy foundation…
