About this game

Come -- return with us to the days of yesteryear. When 8 colors were enough, and the pixels were individually detectable to the human eye. This is LOWLANDER, a fantasy role-playing adventure from simpler times. This might *be* your father’s RPG!

Embark on a glorious adventure to save the world from the clutches of the evil sorceress Azamon and her hordes of low-res low-lifes! You begin as a lost and wandering soul who can barely stay alive. Your circumstances will rise in the service of King Shebastian as you help to rid the world of evil. It IS as simple as black-and-white!

Lowlander harkens back to the early days of personal computers. If you’ve been looking to get your nostalgia on, but can’t be bothered to use two hands doing it, then this is the game for you.

Ratings and reviews

This is a really fun, old-school open world rpg, especially for fans of Ultima 1-5. Huge map, fun quests. Early levels have a bit of grind for gold, food and levels but it helps you learn the game. I beat it in 14 hours. The advancement of abilities and equipment is great. I wish more people knew about this one! Going to check out the sequel next.

Very easy to learn, easy to play. The very beginning is rough with lack of gold to buy food, but once you're over that hump you'll have more money than you'll know what to do with. There is tons of content as far as quests, upgrades, and dungeons. And without spoiling anything, you will gain the means to travel in ways other than by foot. Just a really great, fun throwback to 80s crpg.

A very fun little game. I love its simplicity. I give it 4/5 stars because you can't save inside towns/dungeons, which is annoying because I only play it for 5mins at a time and have to backtrack through a dungeon when I want to exit and save my progress. Otherwise, everything else is excellent 👌🏼
