I actually happened across this on mudconnector, which is a bit surprising since it's not what I would consider a mud. But it is pretty cool for a browser-based game. It's sort of like a mix between Diablo and a tactical RPG. It's got diablo's randomly generated equipment system and quest path, and it's got a turn-based tactical battle system that sort of simulates diablo's combat system in the best way a browser-based game can. Unlike in most browser-based RPG's, you actually complete your characters on this game, as in, you can actually finish the storyline. Once that happens you start a new character. From what I see the storyline isn't hugely in-depth unless I missed some parts somehow, but it is fairly well-written, and there are tons of other things to do and achievements to unlock. On the battlefield there's orbs and items to collect, and from what I understand orbs do various things, from curing all alements, to restoring HP, to granting experience. Combat is kind of slow even once you get used to it, but it isn't too bad once you figure out how it works. It's even got tons of zones, monsters and events to check out. I'd definitely give this one a look if you're an RPG fan, or even just a diablo fan and you always wished you could play.
www.unchartedpeak.com There's a more comprehensive features list on the website for anyone interested. One thing that really impressed me about this game was the developer's willingness to add accessibility features. At first the combat was unplayable because you couldn't tell where the monster was, and doing things like equipping items was a little tricky. But within a day of my asking, the developer went above and beyond my suggestions, implementing all of my suggestions as well as a few things I didn't even think of to make the game completely playable. I was very impressed. So if you're worried about accessibility, I think he's got that covered and I'm sure if you find anything else that's tricky to do he'd be willing to implement it, as long as it doesn't unbalance gameplay.
