- A tile-built, turn-based game world where the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined. Strategy is paramount to success; careful skill management, equipment selection and magic usage will win your fights, not rapid button clicking. We are very pleased to say this is not another "action RPG".
- Hundreds of items and dozens of creatures await your discovery. A combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies means that no two games will play the exact same way.
- Unlimited character development style: Choose from 24 unique skills to make the character you want and 8 base attributes that affect your character's every action throughout the game. The game world does not scale or adjust itself to match anyone's play style, so the ease or difficulty of the game is directly related to how successful you are at developing your character.
- Combat plays out at your pace. Eschalon: Book I features a turn-based system that allows you to roll through combat as fast or slow you want...make it fast and furious, or analyze every option for maximum advantage.
- A non-linear storyline means that the game world is open to explore as you desire. Follow the storyline or don't...it's up to you. Just be careful where you go and who you choose to trust- the world of Eschalon can be a deadly place for an inexperienced adventurer.
- An epic adventure that you must face alone...a single-player RPG carefully designed to feel like the great old school RPGs of the past such as Ultima®, Might & Magic®, and Wizardry®

Eschalon: Book I presents an intriguing premise that could have captivated modern players. However, the game suffers from the passage of time in several key areas. The interface is clunky and lacks adequate scaling options, making it feel dated. Additionally, the mechanics and overall gameplay can feel archaic, and the writing often comes across as amateurish, detracting from the experience.
Graphically, while the visuals are decent, the heavy reuse of assets creates a repetitive feel throughout the game. In isolation, Eschalon might seem acceptable, but when compared to its peers or later titles it inspired, like Balrum or Exiled Kingdoms (which I strongly recommend), it becomes clear that it falls short.
There are certainly commendable ideas present, such as the cartography system and the ability to hide in the dark, which add depth to the gameplay. However, the main plot remains elusive, and the sparse number of NPCs makes the world feel empty and less engaging. Walking across the map can feel long and tiresome, leading to a sense of fatigue rather than adventure.
Ultimately, while Eschalon: Book I has its moments, I find it difficult to recommend it to contemporary players looking for a rich and immersive experience. There are simply too many areas where the game doesn’t hold up against more modern offerings, or older games like Fallout 1 & 2, Wizardry, Ultima etc...
From my child hood time playing this, to the music, and multiple dynamic ways to play this in not strict way. I love coming back to play this first one over and over to remember it again after a while, glad it had such along development over all and had so much detail put in too. Honestly wish the final book 3 ending was more open to different scenarios, but was still a fun game till the end anyways
