Probably one of the best 2D RPG series made, the latest instalment is now available titled Eschalon: Book III.

About
Eschalon: Book III brings the trilogy to a climactic end as you seek to uncover the mystery of your past, the secrets of the Crux stones, and who the Orakur really are. You’ll traverse miles of virtual wilderness and dungeons, filled with secrets and danger, in an unparalleled role-playing experience designed to feel like a true pen-and-paper RPG.

Features
The end of a saga! The final Book in the Eschalon Trilogy brings the story to an epic conclusion and all your questions will be answered. Of course, we've made sure Book III can be fully enjoyed even if you've never played the previous games.

Dozens of fan-requested features and updates to the engine and rule set.

Hundreds of graphic updates including re-rendered tiles, new spell effects, and enhanced environment effects. New sound effects and music in crystal-clear HD audio via an updated sound engine.

Expanded stats for creatures give them new abilities, defenses and vulnerabilities. Combat will require new levels of strategy.

New spells and hundreds of new items for you to discover. A huge world filled with secrets, riddles, traps, treasure, and glory awaits you!

Book III is not a dumbed-down “RPG for the masses”. Rapid button clicking won’t save you here. Eschalon pays honor to the greatest RPGs of the past, with unlimited character development options and freedom to explore the world as you wish. The difficulty of the game does not scale to your character.

Developer tools to be released shortly after the availability of the game. Build your own maps and make your own adventures!

Single player only, like a great RPG should be.

The official site is getting killed by all the traffic, so for now you can buy it on Steam:

It seems basiliskgames website is down but I found this message on their fb page (posted ~20 min ago):

The server migration failed. Our hosting company is working on the issue. We expect basiliskgames website will be down for a few hours. Book 3 is available through GoG and Steam at this time.

Sorry for the inconvenience, everyone.
