Play Amberstar Online
You start with just a sword and a vague quest, but soon you're assembling a full party, sneaking into guilds, and realizing horses save you hours of walking. The world shifts between top-down towns and tense first-person dungeon crawls where every step counts.
Game Overview
Amberstar is one of those old-school RPGs that somehow feels bigger than its MS-DOS origins. You start as this lone wanderer in Lyramion—no class, no fancy backstory, just a sword and the vague sense that you’re supposed to collect these thirteen fragments of the Amberstar before some sorcerer screws everything up. The world opens up fast, though. Within an hour, you’re recruiting party members (up to six!), figuring out which guilds to join (thieves get all the fun lockpicking), and realizing horses are way better than walking everywhere.
The mix of top-down exploration and first-person dungeons keeps things interesting—one minute you’re chatting with townsfolk (who actually go to bed at night), the next you’re grid-stepping through turn-based fights where positioning actually matters. And yeah, there’s only one save slot, so every decision feels a little heavier. It’s got that classic 90s RPG jank, but the depth of party customization and the sheer scope of Lyramion still hold up. Just don’t forget to buy a boat when you can afford it.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
