After 29 Years, Forgotten Dark Fantasy Game Returns with Steam Port

The 1997 action-adventure game Ecstatica 2, first released for MS-DOS and Windows, is officially coming to Steam. The first game in the franchise will also be re-released on Steam, but the two installments look and play quite differently.

Ecstatica, released in 1994, is a third-person survival horror game with fixed cameras and puzzle-based missions. The sequel, however, shifts to dark fantasy action-adventure, with a greater focus on combat. Publisher SNEG has restored both installments in partnership with the series' original creator, Andrew Spencer Studios, bringing their retro gameplay to modern PCs after nearly 30 years.

A sci-fi shooter initially released in 1997 has been revived and is now available on modern PCs via Steam and another storefront.

Announcing the re-release of Ecstatica 1 & 2, publisher SNEG said, "Both titles will launch just in time for Halloween on October 26 for Steam and GOG." Ecstatica games also have free demos on Steam, allowing fans of retro games to try the restored versions before buying them. As for the price, each title costs $14.99 USD, but SNEG also offers a bundle with both installments for the discounted price of $19.99 USD.

Fans of classic MS-DOS games should know that the PC re-releases of Ecstatica 1 & 2 include several new quality-of-life and gameplay features. Both games now support controllers, a feature missing from the original releases. Players can also turn off the new 4K resolution and enjoy the games with the same look and feel as their original versions.
