Dungeons and Dragons Tactics
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 3:33 pmGame Title: Dungeons and Dragons Tactics
Genre: RPG
Strengths: Excellent gameplay and leveling system, very interactive in-game (adventure) system, great environments and graphical FX (magic stuff, attacks, etc). Engaging storyline, satisfying combat system.
Weaknesses: Clunky menu system, the turn-based adventuring system (i.e. following turns even when not in combat) gets old and annoying after a while. Also, the camera angle is kind of limited. It can go from top-down (90 deg. from surface) to what I would estimate a 75 deg. from surface.
Description: I suck at describing things, but here I go: Top-down turn based RPG, based on Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 ruleset. I haven't played into it far enough to really understand the story, but it has certainly piqued my interest
Retail Price: I paid $40 something for it
Number of Players: 4 via ad-hoc wifi. One MAJOR plus about it is the multiplayer system. You can have both multiplay adventures and multiplay deathmatch (i.e. face off one of your friends in a duel)
Graphics: 10/10. Sweet grafix, sweet texture detail, AMAZING environments. See for yourself:
Sound: 7/10. Pretty good sound effects. Could be better, but not bad enough to make me dislike it.
Gameplay: 5/10. In a combat situation, the menu system is effective. While not in combat, it's clunky and annoying.
Overall: 7/10. Overall, I'd say a good buy and def. worth the $40 I paid for it.
