This blog series features the top-performing projects on SourceForge under specific categories. This week, we feature the top 4 RPG Software of the Week available on SourceForge.
RPG or role-playing games are highly popular, and for good reason. They allow players to assume the roles of different characters, go on quests, and explore an exciting new world. They can be played solo or by a team of players, and the eventual character advancement, team dynamics and victories always make for a fun experience.
Here are the top 4 RPG Software available here at SourceForge, based on weekly downloads:
ImperiumAO is a popular FREE Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Play Game (MMORPG) developed using BaronSoft’s ORE engine and currently being ported to a brand new SDL-C++ programmed engine.
The game is set up on a huge medieval fantasy world and it has multiple worldwide located servers with currently more than 100,000 active players around the globe.
PCGen is a free open source RPG character generator (d20 systems). All datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users for their own campaigns.

EE Keeper is a saved game editor for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition. This project is a continuation of Shadow Keeper, originally released by Aaron O’Neil in 2000 for Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. This version will still work with the original BG2.
Currently, it will only work natively on Windows, although it has been tried through Wineskin on Mac OS X and currently works, though no guarantee is in place that this will continue to be. Maximising that support is a priority, however.
Super Smash Flash 2 is a must-play battle game with a gameplay very similar to the official Super Smash Bros. However, the most interesting feature of SSF2 is that the character’s health is measured by a damage percentage counter. It means if a character is attacked, the damage will be accumulated, and percent value gets high.
This upgraded version is better than ever with an extra 3 playable characters to swell the ranks (Marth, Zero Suit Samus and Chibi-Robo). Its controls are also different from the previous version. Make use of WASD keys to move the Player while the arrow keys are used to control the second player. The O and P keys still remain in P-1’s possession, the P key for standard attacks, the I key for shield, and the 1 key for taunting.
