Summary

Dungeon Crawl with COOL ITEMS

The Good

Nice graphics , music, and artwork on a simple to understand and play platform. The point is to hunt and kill monsters and collect cool items with which to hunt and kill more monsters. If you are tired of getting lost in the mazes or stomach churning perspective of the many first person shooters.. This is a trip back to old school dungeon crawl.

The Bad

The multiplayer aspect is just not set up for the casual gamer. Like all online multiplayer RPGs it is dominated by 99th level obsessed 14-20 yr old single male gamers with nothing better to do. While the designers have done alot to keep out those who want to hack and spoil the game by breaking the rules.. it just isn't enough to make the casual gamer want to join the online multiplayer part.

The Bottom Line

Moria, Zangband, any of those old school dungeon crawls as you imagined they would be if brought to life with cool graphics.

Note: If you are looking for plot, extreme first person perspective, or creative roleplay..This is NOT your game. Strictly a dungeon crawl done well with great attention to playability and goreomatic sound effects.
