  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally viewed as mediocre and simplistic, with many players expressing frustration over repetitive missions and a lack of engaging content beyond the initial charm. While some appreciate the nostalgic, campy elements and the atmospheric setting in the Forgotten Realms universe, others feel that the narrative becomes an afterthought, particularly as the game progresses. Overall, the story is seen as enjoyable for fans of old-school action games, but it may not satisfy those seeking depth or complexity.

    • “The story is fine and enjoyable, so if you are into old games, especially with unfair difficulty here and there, highly recommended.”
    • “The game’s story was written by authors connected to Dungeons & Dragons, and you can feel the tabletop RPG influence in its worldbuilding and characters.”
    • “Everything here works beautifully — the sound, the visuals, the story, the atmosphere.”
    • “The mediocre story is cute, but it's not worth the frustration of starting over and no way to skip any of the cutscenes...”
    • “The story treats you as an afterthought.”
    • “Charm wears off around the halfway point at mission 5.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a chaotic beat 'em up featuring a party of misfits battling various fantasy monsters, but it suffers from unrefined mechanics and repetitive mission design that detracts from the overall experience. Players have noted frustrating combat mechanics, including problematic enemy interactions and poor camera angles, which make melee attacks cumbersome. While some appreciate the nostalgic charm and unique flavor of the gameplay, many find it lacks depth and can become tiresome, especially with boss mechanics that prolong encounters unnecessarily.

    • “Moment to moment gameplay is a chaotic beat 'em up, with your party of misfits up against a variety of fantasy monsters.”
    • “The gameplay is light but carries its own unique flavor, and even now it’s just as enjoyable as it was back then.”
    • “Gameplay that stays fresh from start to finish.”
    • “Not really compelling gameplay.”
    • “I was in the mood for an old school action game with unrefined mechanics and campy story, but around mission 3 everything started to become one example after another of 'I never wish to play that mission again.'”
    • “The aged combat mechanics translated poorly onto mouse/keyboard, as without the ability to lock on to enemies, melee attacks are annoying to use.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally considered retro, with some users noting that while effects like magic spells and fire lack sophistication, they are decent for the time of release. The art style has been criticized for its simplicity, but the overall visual presentation in the re-release is sharp and free of artifacts, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere and enjoyment.

    • “Good graphics for the time.”
    • “The graphics are obviously retro by now, but look decent; in this re-release, they are quite solid — sharp and without artifacts.”
    • “Everything here works beautifully — the sound, the visuals, the story, the atmosphere.”
    • “The graphical effects for things like magic spells or fire are similarly not as fancy as they could be, though that might be a technical limitation given the time and the consoles they were working with.”
    • “If you can live with game design that decided 'we need more goons' at every opportunity, an art style that decided a 'robe of scintillating colors' was plain white, and that slashing someone with a sword made a 'whack' sound, you might find some enjoyment in seeing specific dungeons and dragons stuff.”
    • “Graphics are not going to be modernized, but so far the lore and other aspects of the game are enjoyable.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it either overpowering or lacking, while others praise its epic quality and fitting sound effects that enhance the overall experience.

Overall, the music is considered a strong point, contributing significantly to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Well-chosen music and sound effects.”
    • “But I remember this game, liking it as a kid, and it always gave me Lord of the Rings vibes. The music is just epic.”
    • “This game offers a godlike soundtrack; the battle at Mithril Hall lives rent-free in my head since the PS2 release, hands down.”
    • “The music is either overpowering the action or not there at all; it's really weird, and nothing stands out.”
