The Freedroid RPG is an extension/modification of the classical Freedroid engine into an RPG. The main differences to the classical version are as follows:

The Tux is the main character of the rpg.
The game uses isometric viewpoint and animated pre-rendered 3d character models for all characters inside the game.
Dialogs and chatting with friendly droids and humans: Multiple-choice menus and voice samples (with subtitles for those without sound).
There is an item and inventory system that is modeled after some popular standards of the industry
An automap feature was added. (this is currently a bit unmaintained since part of the code needs to be re-written for proper OpenGL support in the automap display)
Saving and loading of games.
Shops to trade things and skills to learn.
Controls are different: Mouse is the input method of choice.
This is a graphically intense game. Therefore the archive size is comparably *huge* and not suitable for modem downloads with a dialup connection.
