Best Fantasy Games of All Time
Despite the fact that most games in a fantasy setting are role-playing, there are many exceptions that prove that strategies, action games, and even shooters can exist in a fantasy style. All of them tell stories about imaginary worlds with elves, dwarves, and orcs (as well as other races), magic, powerful beings, incredible technologies, and great states.
Many fantasy games are still classics, regardless of their genre (whether it's Warcraft 3 or Arcanum), but even today there are truly good representatives of this genre.
This list features the best fantasy games, regardless of their genre or release year.
