"The gameplay is incredible, the musical score is impressive and the controls are fantastic. I would be hard pressed not to recommend this game to fans of the genre. I mean, if you liked Baldur’s Gate and are looking for a GREAT way to pass the time until the second is released, then Dungeons and Dragons Heroes is most certainly the game for you. Simply put, it is fantastic.. 8.5/10" - Deeko.com

DESCRIPTION:

Journey through the world of the Dungeons & Dragons game, to live as one of the great ones, and to do the legendary stuff that Heroes are meant to do!

In Dungeons & Dragons Heroes , players take on the role of one of four resurrected D&D Heroes (Fighter, Wizard, Cleric & Rogue), each carved in the style of the fictional famed fantasy figures of the D&D universe.

D&D Heroes features gorgeously detailed characters with lush, exotic environments that are rich for adventuring, laden with magic, treasures and sinister traps, not to mention a variety of authentic Dungeons & Dragons monsters to do battle with to the bitter (and gory!) end!

GAME FEATURES:
• Brings D&D 3rd Edition skills, feats and character building systems to life
• Revolutionary four-player cooperative play allows up to four players to select heroes and team up against the monstrous threat, playing cooperatively through the single-player campaign.
• Play as one of four distinct hero characters drawn from different races representing the main Dungeons & Dragons classes, Fighter, Wizard, Cleric and Rogue; diverse styles of play for each Hero character ensure a different experience on subsequent play-through.
• Incredible Action/RPG gameplay lets players roam through dark dungeons, fiery forges in seven distinct environments.
• Authentic D&D monsters, many drawn directly from the third edition of the Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, including boss-monsters such as towering Iron Golems, fire-breathing Golden Dragons and horrific Beholders.
• Equip Heroes with a variety of different weapons and armor types.
• Collect and combine Soul Shards to unleash the power of Heroes’ Ancestral Weapon.
• “Basic Combat Button” controller interface allows players to easily map any "actions" such as Attacks, Feats, Skills and Spells to controller buttons on the fly. This gives players an unprecedented degree of tactical control when pressed into combat.
• Use Skills, Feats and a Character Building system inspired by the rule set from the third edition of the Dungeons & Dragons Player’s Handbook.
• Full Dolby 5.1 surround sound enabled.
• Visually stunning Spell and Magical effects.
