Dark Gates RPG 0.5 Released With Gamepad Support

In Dark Gates you lead your team of 6 heroes into the dungeon where they will fight their way through in order to destroy the Dark Gates and the evil mage who is the master of the dungeon. Each time you play the dungeon is randomized so no game will be the same.

The game is currently in alpha so bugs are to be expected.

I actually did a small review of Dark Gates back in December of last year and since then most of the problems I encountered seem to have been ironed out, you can expect me to re-review it in future and see how the newer versions pan-out.

There is a demo but it's of such an old version I don't think it would do the game any justice now. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
