Certainly, the flashy top-to-bottom remake of an older game can really hit the spot – I'm carving it into Tony Hawk's Pro Skaters 3 and 4. But sometimes, the Light Touch Remaster, which brings classics to modern platforms, can land just as sweetly. This is where the frame rate increases. The UI will rethink it there. perfection. That's exactly what two iconic DND games have just received since the mid-2000s. Remember the Dungeons and Dragons Dragon Shards and the Devil Stones of the Forgotten Realm? Well, they've both just revived with steam. The list of the best DND games is already full of great titles, but the reappearance of Dragon Shards and Demon Stones allowed us to see things leaked. Their amazing and surprising remasters were announced last month, and now it's finally time for them to unleash steam. If you're not aware of these games, try running them easily. First released in 2005, Dragonshard is an RTS game at its core, but is also spliced in the Dungeon-Crawling RPG Action. On the RTS side of things, you order a large army of units patrolling the lands of Evalon. There are three factions to choose from, and each has a bespoke campaign tied to it. But in the middle of exploration and battle, you may come across an entrance to an underground dungeon that trades your army for small party characters and turns it into a more RPG experience. The goal is to clear monsters within each mini level and then scoop up new booty as a reward. Meanwhile, Demon Stone in Forgotten Area in 2004 is a party-based RPG. Your team consists of three characters. Rannek focuses on melee combat, Ilius is a magician with ranged attack weapons, and Zai becomes invisible, making it a logical choice for stealth moments. You can switch characters at any time according to the situation. Alternatively, you can stick to your favorites in as many games as possible. Newer versions of these two classics are not a remake of zero and do not significantly improve visual quality. In other words, the original charm has not been lost. However, there are welcome improvements under the hood, making it easier for them to live together and experience. According to publisher Sneg, the enhanced version of Dragonshard benefits from “modern resolution support, localization save and profile, smoother timers and physics, ASLR compatibility, and more. Meanwhile, Demon Stone features “full Xinput controller support with smooth startup and gameplay, proper widescreen scaling, borderless/window modes, optimized shadows, rumble and hot plug and hot plug and adjustable audio, and a new in-game configuration menu for the latest PC.” The re-release of the Dungeon and Dragon Dragon Shard and the Demon Stone of the Forgotten Realm is now alive in steam. Both games offer an introductory 10% discount. That means you'll pull back $9.99, each at $9.99/£7.65. For more information, check out the best single-player games on PC now.
