Dread Delusion News

One of the most compelling RPG games to launch so far this year is the final version of Dread Delusion. Inspired by earlier, pre Oblivion and Skyrim entries to The Elder Scrolls series, like 1996's Daggerfall and 2002's Morrowind, Dread Delusion offers audiences a fantasy world that avoids the typical elves and wizards, Western European medieval aesthetics to provide something truly, well, fantastic instead. Since it left Early Access on Steam earlier this week, the game's enjoyed a positive reception. Unfortunately, though, its player count has struggled to reach the same heights as its reviews so far.

If you miss the '90s era of fantasy RPGs that brought us the early Elder Scrolls games, Baldur's Gate, and Diablo, there are a lot of modern options that take cues from old-school design. I for one adore the aged yet modern low-poly visuals that continue to take over Steam, and the blood-red skies and floating islands of Dread Delusion have that in spades. Hitting 1.0 after a stint in Steam Early Access, this 92% rated RPG is well worth your time if you're yet to play it.
