The choices couldn’t be more mundane. From rats as food to baguette swords, there’s everything you need to let your creativity run wild.

Peter Molyneux is back with a real classic

What do I need to know about Masters of Albion? The game was created and financed by Peter Molyneux himself. As a legendary developer who has worked on Dungeon Keeper, Fable and Black & White, Masters of Albion aims to bring back a nostalgic experience with a modern look.

He and a 20-strong team of veterans put the game together and take you into the world of Albion and its abundance of freedom. You can design your village however you want and, in keeping with the fantasy setting, you also have to protect your village from monsters.

When night falls, your hero comes out to fight the monsters. However, you don’t just send him into battle; you can control him in 3rd person and venture into the fray yourself.

If your hero is overrun, you can switch to God Mode and defeat your enemies with your giant hand. You can use spells like lightning or fire magic to scorch your enemies. The game has an open world full of mysteries, enemies and lots of choices that you can freely make.
