The last of the SSI D&D games
Originally released on the 3D0 as the sequel to Slayer, Deathkeep is the end of an era. The original release on the 3D0 was graphically on the impressive side especially with the scale of the dungeons in it along with a pretty strong soundtrack. For an honestly terrible system like the 3D0 it was a fairly decent dungeon crawler with some control problems. It lacked the custom dungeons of Slayer but the soundtrack was significantly better than its predecessor. But we're not talking about the 3D0 version are we? 7 months later Deathkeep was ported to DOS and we encountered the usual problems associated with converting a CD based game to the significantly weaker DOS. Worse graphics, awkward keyboard bindings and even worse controls than the 3D0 version. If you're collecting the D&D backlog on PC then you'll no doubt pick it up but be warned that it's no Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Hack. It's better than a Capstone game with Witchhaven but that's not a high bar to clear.
Hilft dir das weiter?
