An Eastern European RPG series in a Slavic setting. It's not, by any means, as good as The Witcher. In terms of quality (and origin), it's closer to Konung. This is the second game of the series, originally titled as Златогорье 2 (Zlatogorye 2, which can be translated as the land of golden mountains) for CIS countries and named Golden Land for EU markets. The second part and its standalone add-on are far superior to the first one, and, overall, are OK budget titles with an old-school gameplay system reminiscent of Fallout 1 & 2. They have both charming atmosphere and great music, and they deserve to be preserved, not totally abandoned and forgotten as it is now:(
P.S.: You can also find the first part here by the name of Heath: The Unchosen Path, which is a rebranded title for EU market. A Spanish version of the game, Heath: El Camino Elegido, is also exist. You may also see it called Golden Land on some sites, but it’s an official title for the second part, not for the first one.
P.P.S.: There is currently no page for the standalone add-on for this game which was titled as Златогорье 2: Холодные небеса (Golden Land 2: Cold Heaven). As far as I know, the developers planned to release it in the West, but it, sadly, never happened. This add-on is the best entry in the series, both in terms of gameplay and atmosphere — it's pretty damn good if you're into such games and can ignore the dated graphics and some technical issues.
P.P.P.S.: This series especially needs a GOG treatment since it's a pain in the butt to run it on modern OS and hardware even if you get a version without anti-pirate protection which doesn't work anymore. Those games worked fine on XP, but anything higher — well, good luck with that. And I want to play Cold Heaven once again so much (this is the perfect game for a snowy winter evenings)! :\
My introduction to RPGs that did a really good job. Its eastern European setting is refreshing as finding something similar today is pretty much impossible. Its really sad that today's players can't experience this unique blend of RPS mechanics that remind original Baldur's Gate and Fallout games spiced by developer's own approach to some mechanics. I do not believe its the greatest around, but its a very solid one. At least for old school RPG fans.

Shadow Hearts: From the New WorldShadow Hearts: From the New World is the third official game in the Shadow Hearts series.
The game series departs from Europe and centers on the "New World", the Americas. It is not directly related to the previous games in the series but it occurs in the same universe. The main characters' quest is to investigate mysterious "windows" from which vicious monsters pop out.
Gameplay follows that of its predecessors, using the Judgment Ring to decide most battle outcomes, as well as many other actions throughout the game. A new "Stock" system was made for this game which expands the combination attack system between party members from Shadow Hearts - Covenant and enables double attacks.
The "Stock" system works by filling up a character's stock gauge when he/she performs or receives an attack. A maximum of two stock gauge may be stored. Stock can then be utilized in many ways. For example, doing a Double attack (a character performs two action on the same turn) or starting a Combo consumes one Stock. A Double Combo on the other hand consumes two Stock. The Judgment Ring system essentially remains the same from Shadow Hearts: Covenant, with ring customization and added ring effect items being still available.
Magic returns in the form of Stellar Charts, where characters equip Stellars onto the chart. The charts are based on the constellations of the twelve zodiac signs. Finding and fitting all the Stellars onto the charts rewards the player with the Melt Crest Stellar, the strongest non-elemental magic in the game.
Fusion is also back in the game, albeit quite differently. Unlike Yuri, Shania does not possess the power of the Harmonixer where she is able to fuse into different demons. She makes spirit pacts with the different Guardian Spirits and draws on their power to transform. Shania is only able to fuse into four forms but through acquiring fetishes; statues of different animals, she is able to learn different techniques by powering them up.
Snapping photos is more emphasized in this game. Not only can Johnny obtain enemy data through his photographing enemies, he can also trade the snap cards obtained for prizes. Johnny can also draw upon the power of Malice to transform; though this ability comes rather late in the game.Fantasy Historical
