Crossfire

Crossfire is a free-to-play and cross-platform multiplayer online computer role-playing game.

Crossfire is set in a fantasy medieval world. Players can choose any of 13 races for their character: from dragons (fiery cubs) and Quetzalcoatl to more familiar humanoid creatures like human or elf. You can also choose from 15 classes (professions) - from alchemist to monk to warrior. The game uses an extensive skill system in which each skill has multiple skill levels (not just experience points in that skill).

Once the process of creating a personal character in the game is complete, the created characters appear in the game world and choose two starting cities in which they will be reborn if they die. Although there are many missions, in many cases the player simply travels through the game world with other players. The game contains thousands of different maps spread across a large continent to walk through.

The game is not only multi-player oriented, but also multi-player, so there is an alternate map where there are far fewer locations, no choice of cities.

Crossfire has elements of other games, especially Gauntlet and similar games like NetHack or Angband. Any number of players can group together and play on public servers, finding and using items and fighting against monsters. Players can cooperate or compete in the game world, which consists of combinations of unchanging content and items distributed randomly (equipment, medkits, etc.). Crossfire can be played over the Internet, over a network, or on a single computer.

Because of its nature (multiplayer), although similar to Nethack, the game in its spirit is completely different from it, as it is rogue-like in real time. Therefore, the game's controls are rather awkward for both realtime games and NetHack fans, besides, you can only shoot arrows or magic in a 45-degree direction.
