Description
Forge your own empire in this D&D game - the first to feature a computer DUNGEON MASTER who mediates all elements of the game play.

This exciting game lets you face one to four adversaries chosen from among 20 computer-controlled opponents. Interact with fantastic races, including humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, humanoids, and the undead. Command dozens of troop types. Deploy special forces. Send your heroes on quests and construct a variety of buildings and fortifications. Extensive character interaction, utilizing AI and Neural Network technology throughout the game (already back in 1993!), provides for diplomatic tactics. When combat occurs, the screen switches from a strategic map to a tactical display that shows real-time action in one of the most spectacular overhead perspectives yet!

Features:

  • Begin as leader of a kingdom - then build an empire by creating alliances and defeating enemy kingdoms.
  • D&D gaming first: a computer DUNGEON MASTER mediates all elements of gameplay!
  • Face up to four opponents chosen from among twenty computer-controlled adversaries.
  • Command dozens of troop types. Interact with all the major D&D races. Deploy special forces. Send heroes on quests and build different types of structures and fortifications.
  • Real-time combat occurs on a tactical screen with an overhead view.

good but complicated

the fact that it is complicated is why it only gets 3 stars. there is 3 different mage classes, one of which involves leveling up soldiers of a certain type so that they can class change to druid. the battle system is keyboard based in realtime. you control the soldiers directly. i still have it on disc. i got it decades ago while i was still at school.

GOG and old D&D Board Game

Loved this game back in 1993. Still holds up. Kind of like Risk with Magic. Great to roam around Mystara again.

An imperfect but fun classic

Overall, the strategy side of this game is good. You spend time planning and timing attacks. There is some diversity of strategy, and you get to pick cool units from basic fighters to elves to orcs. However, the interface is clunky, and the controls are not intuitive at all. Worth it if it's on sale and you enjoy retro games.
