    A game that makes me completely nostalgic. The graphics still don't look completely outdated to me. The textures are warm, dark and suiting. Possibly the best music I have ever heard in a videogame. And although I didn't play this game as much for it's main storyline, I had a fantastic time exploring every bit of the map. The details in it are immense, and the game often me made me smile or laugh even in the most harsh dungeons because of it's excellent humour. All in all, if you call yourself a roleplayer; you must have tried this game at least once in your life. Possibly, you'll find yourself lost after crossing the first bridge. Take my advice: Don't give up then. . Play longer and you won't think of stopping anymore.… Expand

    Great role playing game with so much to do and to many things too discover, your level just keeps growing in every thing you do.

    The best non-3D game that I have ever played.

    DD is great! I haven't played a game this open ended since the classic Ultima games. I have about 20 hours into it so far and I find that.... The graphics are nice, and the details are amazing on characters and scenes. The music is very fitting and never gets tiring. I like the constant forward momentum of this game; if you aren't busy trying to keep up with all the quests, you are busy planning your character's growth. There is always plenty to do, sometimes too much. Thankfully there is a decent quest log that can be filtered down a bit so you don't get too bogged down. The story seems to be building nicely as well, with lots of background thrown in to make it seem that much more immersive. It could be a shame that this great game may get overlooked by many gamers because of its rather quiet release here in the U.S., but who knows.....It is definitely one of the best rpg's I played in a long while that isn't a Black Isle or Blizzard product.… Expand

    While it doesn't contribute much to storyline, the gameplay more than makes up for it.

    One of the problems with being a small studio is that you don't get the breaks the big boys get when it comes to quality. If this had been a Bioware title in would have been rated in the mid 90s instead of the 80s. The fact of the matter is that this is a great game. People nit pick about the title, or call it a Diablo clone, or other such rot because they just need to find something bad to hide the fact that a small unknown group of developers kicked their ass. Make no mistake: this is one of the best RPGs ever done. It wouldn't make my top five list but it would make my top ten list. What I like about this game so much is, expect for the ending, all the combat has a purpose. One of my complaints is that RPGs too often use combat as a filler or a time sink without it advancing the story in any way. Some people might say that as a result the story is light in this game. That's true if you compare it to something like Planescape. But the fact of the matter is that the game play in DD gives heft to the story in a way that it doesn't in a game like Gothic. For me, this game manages to weave the story and the combat into each other in a way that seems light and effortless but is in fact not. This game also has some of the best music ever written for a video game. Don't expect the characterization you get from Buldar's Gate or the depth of Planscape. But this is a solid, well designed and well executed RPG that shouldn't be overlooked as much as it has been.… Expand

    Great hack'n'slash game, with interesting, even well told story, 3 different playable characters, great voice acting, great musics, and really atmospheric graphics. One of this games that I will remember forever.

    Above all, it's plain fun to play, to develop your character and find ever-better weapons and armor, to face the foe around the next corner.

    There is definitely too much of a good thing here—by the time I was ready to put this game behind me and move on to something else, I still had to spend another full day playing just to reach the "real" end.

    There's a comfortable familiarity to its medieval setting, and the story is refreshingly non-linear - if you want it to be. [Dec 2002, p.148]
