Back in the day, I would boot up my PlayStation 2 for an hour or so before school each morning. I alternated between a few titles, namely Socom and whichever RPG captured my attention at the time. For a while, that RPG was Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, which is now available on PC, thanks to Stormfront Studios and publisher SNEG. It’s a re-release with a handful of PC-specific enhancements and features, and it’s available for under $10!
First released in 2004, Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone returns in a polished re‑release: smoother startup and gameplay, proper widescreen scaling, borderless/windowed modes, optimised shadows, full XInput controller support with rumble and hot‑plugging, adjustable audio, and a new in‑game settings menu for modern PCs.
Wow, seeing the original 2004 release date there makes me feel old.
Anyway, Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone on PC tells the story of three renegade fighters—a fighter, a sorcerer, and a rogue—exploring the world of Faerûn, from Dungeons and Dragons. You can swap between each character as you explore the world and fight various fantasy enemies, like dragons and bugbears.
As you progress, you’ll uncover a story penned by bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, known for The Legend of Drizzt, while unlocking additional abilities, upgrades, weapons, and armor.
Oh, and it features voice work by Patrick Stewart and Michael Clarke Duncan!
You can score a copy of Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone on Steam for $10.
