Looking for a specific game
« on: June 17, 2013, 09:59:20 pm »

I'm looking for a free game that I downloaded back in college, but can't remember the name of.  It was a turn-based game in which you hire a team of fantasy monsters (such as witches or trolls), then battle other teams of fantasy monsters (all AI, no multiplayer, though I can't guarantee there wasn't a multiplayer option) to increase your ranking.  I remember specifically that the witch had a "tear from within" spell.  I'm sure I found it in the Open Directory Project the first time (around the same place as Star Knights, another fun game), but they seem to have changed their organization, and I can't find anything there.

EDIT: Well, apparently the open directory project hasn't changed their organization, according to the Internet Archive.  I found Star Knights, but still not the mystery game I'm looking for.

Hmm, no, I think it was a square-based map.

Possibly this thing? Doesn't look like it's all AI, though.

Also, might be better placed in the "forgotten the name of a game" thread, heh.

Yep, that looks like it!  Thank you.  Apparently it doesn't run on my current machine, but I'm still glad to know the name.

Yes, it sounds like that thread would have been perfect, but it's on page 3. :P Maybe I would've noticed it if it was a sticky.
