It's obviously incredibly dated now, but I used to absolutely love this game on the Amiga in the 90s - Midwinter

Wow it’s fascinating to see what games could be imagined in the era before all the genres were decided upon. Action rpg with strategy elements.

Midwinter and Flames of Freedom were so far ahead of their time. It’s like Mike Singleton had a vision from the future of Just Cause or Far Cry or something and tried to build it using 90s technology.
