Description
The world is living under the dark shadow of a nefarious dragon. Villagers are turning into stone. Armies of skeletons, swarms of wasps, and lumbering ogres lurk everywhere. Evil is spreading like wildfire. And you're the only one who can put an end to it.

Scattered across the kingdom are seven ancient major crystals which together invoke the power of the Orb. Without it, you have no hope of defeating your fire-breathing nemesis. You will creep through dungeons and castles, explore the wilderness, encounter traps, curses, and puzzles on your quest to unearth the crystals. It may take months. It may take years. It may take away any hope you ever had of living a normal, productive, twentieth-century life.

Darkstone is a classic hack'n'slash game with everything a good game of its kind should have: randomly generated loot, four character classes, a well-implemented cooperative mode, and four difficulty levels that use the well-known Diablo-style formula of each level being the possibility of further progression for you character. In addition, the game mechanics are extremely smooth and fluent. Bottom line, if you feel like killing some evil monsters and saving the world in the process you can’t possibly go wrong with Darkstone.
  • Randomly generated dungeons, quests, items, and four difficulty levels assure an exceptionally high replayability value.
  • Polished and rewarding cooperative mode lets you enjoy the entire game with up to three of your friends at once.
  • Four classes to choose from (warrior, wizard, thief and monk), each offering a unique gameplay style.

Worth giving a try

First time i tried this game i was discouraged by it's graphic. It does not age well (as most of 3d games) but after some time i decided to give it second chance. I played for more than few minutes, i made a 2 members party and start an exploration. The companion system turned out to be the best one i've ever seen, in fact both characters are playable (sad that they do not use spells on their own), and it is like something between old infinity games (baldurslike) and diablo clone. Game took the best things from D1 and added some things that were later copied by every following game of genre. The game turned out to be the one that graphic is something you can get used to, and everything else just makes this using to easier. It has random quests, random dungeons, a lot of stuff and great companion system. It is game Worth trying and Worth buying.

I love this game even now!

I own an original US cd version which I play in wine on Linux along with a no cd patch. I'm waiting for this to go on sale and I'll then buy the GOG version.

Technical problems...

I'm surprised no one has reported this... And more surprised by the high ratings for a game that opens in in full screen at 640x480 resolution without having the option to increase it. Fan patches do not solve the problem and still cause slowdowns. I wish I could play this game at a decent resolution, but it won't be possible, so be warned!

A decent nostalgia trip

The first time I played this game was back in 1999, and I was hooked. Vibrant environments, a lively hub, the feeling of an epic quest, it was all there. However, playing it again and looking back, it doesn't hold up to the godlike standards I once thought of it. However, it is still a fun game that I would recommend to fans of cRPGs or Diablo.
