A 3D indie RPG with old-school flavor and a tongue firmly planted in its cheek. Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon features turn-based combat, over a hundred spells (mostly upgradable), over 80 skills (feats), dozens of monsters, and 30+ hours of gameplay. It also features new innovations like the Drama Star system to provide an incentive to play through setbacks rather than reloading, and a detailed trap-disarming / lockpicking mini-game. Now available for Windows XP and above.

Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon Review at Digitally Downloaded

An excerpt:

“As time goes on, the maximum that your stamina your endurance bar can actually hold decreases. This WILL be your downfall. There’s no way to fix this except spending drama stars or resting at an inn. Another kicker is that drama stars do not save with your games. Saving and reloading is not encouraged.

“Sounds like a game breaker, right? Hell no! As a matter of fact it adds so much more depth to the usual rinse and repeat of RPG turn based combat. This forces you to really think about when you should be resting, going back for potions, using those stars, and makes you pick your fights carefully. To this end, I offer a protip. DO NOT threaten the talking surrealist skull in the Tower of Almost Certain Death. That’s good life advice too.”

Another bit:

“The writing is the reason every RPG fan should play it, or even RPG haters, hell, everyone! There are just so many amazing moments; like after getting killed the full five minute dialogue that takes place. I can’t find any videos and only one screenshot, so you’ll just have to buy it and find out. The game was worth it just for that.”
