In ancient times, the Great and Dark Gods clashed in a ferocious war over Man's control of the world, bringing despair and ruin to the lives of all humans.
As the conflict raged, the Great Gods sought to vanquish the power of the Dark Gods through the faith of humans. In return for their faith, the Gods promised humans a world of peace and prosperity and thereby a contract between humans and the Great Gods was formed.
By the contract, the Dark Gods could not interfere with the world of humans and were forever sealed inside their world of darkness. The people worshiped the Great Gods in thanks for their prosperity, and the world entered an era of peace.
However…
The humans grew complacent and allowed their faith to fade.
Now, in the far-off realm of Ishmag, King Jardin ushers in an age of peace. Unknown to him, the dark powers have already begun reaching out in secret, planting the seeds to bring about the revival of the Dark Gods into the hearts of men. Foul and hideous creatures are emerging from the deep, treacherous caves of Tsun-Kurn and rumours of a rising evil are creeping across the peaceful lands.
It is up to you to arm yourself and descend into the depths of Tsun-Kurn in an attempt to put an end to the ever growing darkness and save your kingdom.

This game is nothing compared to Original
It feels like it was made specifically for masochists
It seems universally agreed upon that exp is needs boosting to make the game not feel pointlessly grindy, it has many, many points of anti QOL compared to the previous, it's a strictly linear experience with no exploration or questing, your baseline accuracy is something like 20%, you can have battles take 15 minutes and give 10% of a level in the first two dungeons
What distinguishes the Elminage series from other Wizardry-like dungeon crawlers are the expanded class options and refined party-building they bring to the table... along with the possibility to save-scum like a degenerate, because sometimes these games will just be mean and behead most of your folks before the first round of combat.
Elminage Gothic is quite a bit more challenging and lengthier than Elminage Original, I'd recommend Gothic if you played through the end of Original and enjoyed it. The format here is less free-form, unlike Original you are expected to do most if not all dungeons to reach a sufficient power level to beat the main story bosses. The dungeon design is still very good with some nasty surprises, like spinners in dark rooms, but I thought there were too many important secret doors that you could simply miss and end up frustrated without an online guide to steer you. I also felt like Gothic took longer to "take off" in the early game than Original did, it felt kinda sluggish until you finish the first batch of dungeons.
Because of these little things, I feel Original is the better game of the two, but both Elminages on Steam are top-tier gridders and I recommend them.
I've played a lot of old RPG's but my god all of the menus are awful here. UI design matters. I can't bring myself to play this more than a couple hours after years of owning it. It's like the game actively is fighting against being played. Just makes me want to play better games. I'm not intrigued enough my the vague good vs evil plot setup to power through like I did in system shock.
I think your enjoyment will depend on your tolerance for opening one window> to check your character status> then equipment> by slot> then the equipped weapon> in order to look at your sword's stats. Then go back to the vendor select shop> Select weapons> Find the weapon in a long not-organized list> Select it> view its stats> decide if you want to buy based on your vague memory of the stats of each item. Having a set of 6 characters with head, foot, arm, leg, hand, and chest armor slots is fine. Having to open each slot to view each piece of equipment in order to see its stats on a separate screen is not.
I'm sure I could ignore it and power through, but nothing indicates any part of this will improve.
