Video games sure have come a long way since their creation, advancing with the technology that powers their creation and play, as well as the innovative ideas that brought about all the mechanics we take for granted. Within my lifetime I remember games far more basic in design and presentation being heralded as cutting edge and though they’re not old, many have fond memories of playing games those games from decades past.
An in-depth look into the evolution of just a single genre of video games through the ages – RPGs, to name one of my favourites – would be a huge undertaking, spanning many, many hours of footage and far more behind-the-scenes research. What if there was a game that gave us a brief look at the evolution of RPGs from the 8bit era all while we, a mute sword-wielding hero, try to save the world from the evil-yet-generic plans of a nameless-but-sinister villain?
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a fun time to me, so let’s get to RPGing!
