Escape from Ragor

Escape from Ragor is a video game in the role-playing (rpg) genre developed by Motelsoft and published by tewi publishing GmbH originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on DOS.

Escape from Ragor is a fantasy role-playing game, a typical dungeon crawler with tile-based movement and real-time combat. You've gotten into the labyrinthine dungeons of Ragor's castle and now you must get out, overcoming the traps and obstacles set for you by its nefarious master, Megrim. Explore the walls of Ragor and find a way out. It won't be easy, as your jailer tries to confuse and trick you, and the dungeons are full of Megrim's minions and dangerous monsters.

The game is controlled entirely with the mouse, which is used to interact with the environment, manipulate inventory items and move the character by clicking the navigation arrows on the interface. Items such as spells, healing potions and poisons can be used in combat with enemies. Combat flows in real time and the outcome of any encounter ultimately depends on how quickly the attack button, located in the center of the navigation arrows, is pressed. The simple combat system automatically uses an offensive magic spell if one is selected and there is enough mana, and otherwise switches to conventional weapons if available and ready (in the hands of the player character).

Exploration is greatly simplified by the built-in automatic map, which also highlights false walls and switches for the player's convenience. If a tile occupied by the player contains any objects that can be picked up, an eye icon will appear on the interface, and the objects will be displayed in a separate small window. Some tiles have a red banner with a gold question mark, which when activated will display messages, often coming from Megrim, the game's main antagonist, and sometimes hints.

Unlike many dungeon crawlers of this type, there is no party but a single player character, and no character generation. The only choice given to the player is the gender of the protagonist, which does not affect initial stats. Experience is gained by the usual means of killing monsters.

Escape from Ragor has a hunger/thirst system, with hunger and thirst levels displayed on the character's screen. These levels can be replenished by using food and drink found in the dungeon. At the beginning you get a flask of water, which can be refilled later at fountains found in some areas of the dungeon.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
