Review: Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale

by Justin Hubbell on Tue, 2011-05-31 12:44


Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale

System: Xbox Live Arcade (reviewed on), PSN (whenever it comes back), PC
MSRP: 1200 MSP, $14.99
Release Date: May 25, 2011

Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale is an action-RPG, based on the 4th edition rules of the tabletop game. This game is similar to other hack-and-slash action-RPGs, like Torchlight and Baldur's Gate. You travel through various dungeons to complete tasks, kill monsters, collect loot and level up your character, which there are 4 of (human fighter, halfling wizard, dwarven cleric, and an elf rogue).

The story isn't horrible, but it's not very original either. Rezelus, the main bad guy, is planning to amass a huge army and take over the world of Daggerdale and it's up to you (and your friends if you're playing co-op), to stop him. The story unfolds quickly, which is nice. I'm not a fan of long cut-scenes. With that said, the dialogue is still pretty bad.

Back to the characters - each character has his or her own set of abilities to learn, and as you level up you can allocate skill points to various stats and abilities. The characters are well diversified and equipping different types of armor will show on the character model. Read more
