Exile II: Crystal Souls

Exile II: Crystal Souls is a 1995 role-playing game from Spiderweb Software and the second chapter in the acclaimed Exile series. It combines a huge underground world with turn-based combat, character development, exploration, quests, and an impressive amount of freedom. Players can create a party, develop different abilities, interact with factions, and discover a story that is considerably deeper than the humble presentation initially suggests. Spiderweb Software had a knack for building enormous adventures without blockbuster budgets, and Crystal Souls is a fine example. The graphics may be modest, but the world is anything but small. Bring patience, curiosity, and preferably several characters who know how to fight.
