Was it a PC game or a console game? I ask because there was a Wizardry spin-off for the PS2 who's description sort of sounds similar (town with labirynth below, guild system, multiple races) called Tale of the Forsaken Land.

it was for the PC, the creature models were very "primitive" like fractionally better than final fantasy 7

i guess it wasent really marketed at all. a shame because it was a really good game now that i look at it. pretty much a 3D nethack. i'm going to be going to the mall and looking through a few game stores but i wouldent hold my breath, it must have been a pretty old game

okay, if the movement was square-to-square on a grid, then it almost certainly didnt have polygon monsters.  now were talking about something more in line with the early wizardry games, the gold-box games, or one of the Dungeon Master games.  there were also a ton of licensed D&D games using similar formats, but not the SSI Gold Box engine.

unfortuneatly, i think most of those are party based.

How about Dungeon Hack?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Hack

Its the first one i've come across that has randomly created dungeons (honestly, until now i had just assumed that you were mis-remembering that bit) and is billed as 3d version of Hack.  it uses AD&D rules, and has multiclassing.  But i havent been able to tell if it has a town.

i wont deny its possible i misremembered about the 3d creatures, i do recall them zipping off the screen really fast when they ran away, was annoying and kinda funny.

well I'm gonna look over at ign and see if i can find anything, after that I'm going to give up. my wife thinks i dreamed it up XD i remember this game though and it was really good if quirky.

it must of had its own engine because i haven't seen any game that used an engine like it.
it was probably not advertised and was probably never popular, otherwise we would have figured it out

maybe it wasn't retail then? but i remember finding out about it at an EB... but then maybe not? do any indie games fit my memory?

in any case, if i ever find it again, i'll come back and share it

[Igginator]

Ok i have one for you all......
If anyone finds this one i will love them FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!
I remember playing this game maybe between 6-8 years ago ut that is only a rough guess.

As i remember it it was a 3rd person view, fantasy-ish setting and you controlled a warrior possibly with a two handed sword, maybe more. It had multiplayer, at least 2 players against each other on a map with large cliffs etc. You could re sheath your weapon whenever you wanted. I also remember a very distinctive symbol on loading but cant remember what it was 
I think the first level also was in like a dungeon or something and had like a evil warrior in plate mail in it.
PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE IM SURE IT EXISTS AND I LOVED IT

[Kagus]

I'm going to assume that you're not talking about Rune.


Also;

...and you controlled a warrior possibly with a two handed sword, maybe more.

I'm pretty sure it stops at two.

[Igginator]

i dont know if thats it but it kinda looks similar....also i think i remember the symbol being something like this:

[Virtz]

Closest thing I can think of is Severance: Blade of Darkness. One of the characters started off in a dungeon and another of the characters was a barbarian with a two-hander.

Otherwise, among third-person slashers I know, there's: Dungeon Lords, Enclave, Crusaders of Might and Magic and Heretic 2.

[puke]

There was only one third person slasher, and that was Die By The Sword.  these other games you speak of are for little girls.

hmm... im not sure i ever got past the second monster in DBTS.

[quinnr]

I was to vague for you?

[Igginator]

I think blade of darkness may be it....it looks very similar...but so does enclave lol
Anyone know if theyre available free?

[bluephoenix]

I hope anyone can help me find this game

It is an older RTS you had to explore alien life forms on unknown planets and would get more ressource points for each life-form explored (you acctually had to capture or go up to the alien animal with a researcher, he would then bring the info to the right building when 100% researched and later on you would meet more dangerous aliens which you would have to buy soldiers for and you could also build buildings.

In the first mission you would only get a researcher to explore a life-form to get the first ressources to advance.

yeah, thats all i remember.
thanks to anyone trying to find it/help me

Well, they both had demos. Enclave demo. Severance demo. I recall seeing Severance on old-games.ru and Enclave is apparently being sold on Amazon.

Not really sure about this, but maybe Gene Wars?

[Igginator]

You could be talking about impossible creatures but from that description thats my best idea.

[bluephoenix]

It was Gene wars thanks virtz.
