    The only thing preventing me from scoring this graphics masterpiece in the 90’s was the somewhat weak storyline and the tedium that got me down on more then one occasion.

    A disk full of bugs, striving to be a slow "Diablo" based on AD&D third edition rules.

    The interface is also not particularly logical with many character actions being accessible only after you have waded through a number of submenus. This is annoying and will drive you to distraction in combat, until you get the hang of the hot keys.

    Looks like a tremendous mistake.

    I give this game a ten because I have been playing it for a month and haven't gotten bored of it yet. I'm on my third way through if beating it, and it's still exciting as when I first played it.… Expand

    I am a dedicated AD&D fan from the 80's, I like the game enough to play it addictively, however the gameplay is often tedious and I think it had much more potential than it realised, which is a great shame...… Expand

    Problems are aplenty, (lack of story and npcs in general, clunky interface and so on) but that sweet turn based d&d tactical awesomeness added a lot of depth to simple "me vs. zombie nr. 135 and Co." scenarios and pretty much outweighed all those flaws for me.… Expand

    Boring, tedious little game. Buy any number of good D&D based RPGs before this one. The only reason this game even existed was to show off the new 3.0 ruleset for D&D based games, and it did it poorly. The sounds are lackluster, the gameplay is clunky and unresponsive, the role-playing aspects are nearly non-existant and the story is un-engaging. If that combination doesn't make a bad game, I don't know what does. Skip this.… Expand
