Fans of classic, western-style first-person role playing games will most likely enjoy Paper Sorcerer. This PC game is a single player turn based RPG focused on strategy, party-building, and environmental puzzles.
In Paper Sorcerer, created by Ultra Runaway Games, players will fight with the skills and spells learned with a new "energy" based system. Assembling a party of monsters and dark creatures to fight alongside you is key. You will explore and solve open-ended environmental puzzles to unlock secret paths and find extra loot.
While a powerful sorcerer is very close to dominating the land, as sorcerer you must escape from the ancient prison and find a way to regain your magical powers using your wits and various creatures to help you. You will navigate the dungeons and fight the heroes sent to subdue you, as well.
