If you enjoy turn-based combat as much as I do, you really have to take a look at 'Gorky17 aka Odium'. I love the combat system in this game... not as complex as in a 'Jagged Alliance' - different - perhaps close to an old Ultima 4 or something (I mean it!).

The story of the game is a big mess in the final version. Nobody - including me - understood the meaning of its ending. What the hell was that about? I am still disappointed that I wasn't able to do more for the project, but at the time I had to produce four titles at the same time... Still, 'Gorky17' is a good game and its scenario and strange characters are really enjoyable. Take a look - should be available for 5 bucks everywhere...
