Gurk III, the 8-bit RPG

About this game

The long-awaited sequel to the also-long-awaited sequel to the beloved 8-bit RPG has finally arrived! The third installment in the series is a bigger adventure than ever before, with loads of new monsters and items, many with unique effects and abilities. Character classes are better-differentiated and combat tactics are more subtle and interesting without sacrificing the hack'n'slash ethos that Gurk fans adore. The dedication to 8-bit culture remains fervent, with the complete 20-song soundtrack rendered with analog synth emulators that will evoke the classic sounds of the game systems of the 1980s. It's all enough to justify the outrageously steep $2 price tag, so pay up and get Gurkin'!

Ratings and reviews

Excellent game! Wish there was a lot more games like this out there. Completely free, playable offline, no ads, no bullsh*t. Game is easy to pick up, play for a bit, set it down, come back to later, resume exactly where you were. It's a simple old school style tile-based turn-based crpg, with a big map and lots to explore. And noticeable improvements from Gurk II. If you like old school Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy games, come give this a try.

Love the game played through it once and was maxing out my characters then bam it will not load anymore...S8+ It's only a gray screen with no buttons. I'm so disappointed I just want it to work :( I tried multiple uninstalls/ clear data/ restarts and nothing fixes it it issuch an odd problem. Still loved the game 5 stars but one playthrough is just not enough!

Enjoyable in general; gets you hooked rather fast. Ends before it gets repetitive. Power balance is well but encounters should be a bit less, the frequency of the encounters makes one question if the developers were trying to compensate for the lack of content. End boss was especially interesting :). Could've ended a bit more satisfactory.
