10 Best RPGs From 1990 - 1999

10. Betrayal at Krondor

Betrayal at Krondor was developed by Dynamix and released on to MS-DOS in 1993. This party-based RPG sees you traverse the land of Midkemia, a world that was created by Raymond E. Feist for his Riftwar novels.

This game is mostly played in the first-person perspective, with it switching to third person in combat. The player can also choose a top-down view if they wish. Each character’s journey will usually be set in just one or two regions of the world, however the player is free to explore the large and interesting world at their leisure.

The usual RPG systems are here, levelling, shops, and inns, however what really makes this game stand out is the combat. As previously mentioned, the combat is played in the third-person perspective, along with this the game uses a grid similar to a tactical game. There are a few different attacks that can be used, these will determine whether you play it safe or risk overexerting yourself. Traps and magic can also be used in combat.

Other RPGs may be more famous, but few had such an interesting combat system.
