Rated 7 out of 10 by Game Informer.
The Dark Spire™ is a first-person RPG of exploration and character development in the purest sense. Parties will be assembled, stats will be rolled, items, weapons and armor shall be equipped, and monsters will be slain. Some adventurers will choose to play using the “modern” interface, its bold, stylized textures and palettes delivering a fresh, up-to-date adventure. Others may opt for the “classic” mode, guaranteed to evoke overwhelming sensations of nostalgia as it perfectly recreates the style and simplicity of the fathers of the genre. Two different presentation modes, two different ways to experience The Dark Spire!

The Dark Spire a piece of forgotten history

The game overall loves to set the mood with those who have played with game genres similar to the dark spire. Customization is key to traversing the tower and unlikely team combination can make the most enjoyment.
