Realms of Arkania III: Shadows over Riva

This 1996 RPG drops you into Riva, a coastal town compromised by a hidden threat. The city's officials have been corrupted, and something hostile occupies the sewer network beneath. You'll navigate the urban environment, underground passages, and submerged areas rendered in first-person 3D. The game offers adjustable complexity settings—you can streamline systems or dig into granular detail depending on your preference. Exploration spans multiple vertical layers, from street level down through dungeons to aquatic zones. Combat and character management follow tabletop-inspired rules, with the difficulty slider letting you control how much micromanagement the systems demand. If you want a '90s CRPG that gives you control over how crunchy the experience gets, this delivers that flexibility.
