Description
This collection brings back a gathering of adaptations of the events in the first four Dragonlance role-playing modules, at the beginning of the War of the Lance. These were the first games that brought the world of D&D to PC. Silver Box Classics contains of the following titles: Heroes of the Lance, Dragons of Flame, War of the Lance and Shadow Sorcerer.

HEROES OF THE LANCE Discover the world of Krynn in this D&D epic. Control the Companions of the Lance (they aren’t Heroes until they succeed!) in their quest to recover the Disks of Mishakal. Only this can defeat the Queen of Darkness and restore the balance between Good and Evil. DRAGONS OF FLAME Takhisis, Queen of Darkness, and her Draconian hordes have overrun much of the homeland Krynn, even the elven armies of Qualinost, valiant in their resistance to this evil power, struggle on the edge of defeat. It is only the returning Companions of the Lance that can halt this wave of tyranny before Krynn is consumed by evil. Freed from captivity by an elven assault column, the Companions under the guiding direction of the cleric Goldmoon and bolstered by their success at recovering the mystical Disks of Mishakal, can once again restore a belief in the gods and unify the inhabitants of Krynn against the power of Takhisis. Rescue slaves held by the ravaging Dragonarmies in the foul fortress of Pax Tharkas. WAR OF THE LANCE That's the first D&D computer wargame. Prepare for fierce battles and all-out war when the forces of Whitestone clash against the evil Highlord Dragonarmies. The prize: absolute rule over all Ansalon on the Dragonlance game world of Krynn. Send forth your diplomats to forge treaties and gain the allies that will swell the numbers of your troops. When words fail, armies of human, draconians, ogres, dwarves, elves, dragons, and other creatures may prove more persuasive. SHADOW SORCERER Shadow Sorcerer is a tie-in with the Dragonlance series of novels. The player controls a party of four adventurers that have just rescued 800 slaves and must shepherd them through the wilderness before the evil Dragon army catches up with them. There are three levels to the game: - Strategic, where the player must move the refugees safely through the wilderness. - Tactical, where the party explores dungeons and other areas of interest, searching for information and treasure to assist the escape. - Political, where the players must deal with the refugee leaders and convince them to continue following the party. All three take place in real-time with the evil dragons constantly on the adventurers' heels slowly picking off the escapees.

Each of these gaming gems brings its own unique flare and adventure for you to enjoy, ranging from platform to real-time combat experience.

Worth it for Shadow Sorcerer

These are early artifacts of D&D gaming. You get Heroes of the Lance and Dragons of Flame, both action games that work best with a joystick as the keyboard controls are not easy to use, War of the Lance, a SSI wargame built around Dragonlance, and Shadow Sorcerer, Shadow Sorcerer is worth the price of admission, and is a five star game. It feels like playing a campaign, and it includes the beginnings of the features that would make games like Baldur's Gate and later NWN so epic. The other three are great for tracing the history of D&D computer games, but Shadow Sorcerer is still just as good now as when it came out back in the day.

Classic Games

Glad this collection finally made it to GoG. lots of nostalgia here. The "action" games are rough around the edges, but fun none less- especially for Dragonlance fans.

Check your library first

Redeemed keys from Prime gaming are not marked as owned in the game page. This is very misleading, since the game is added to your library. The same game! Is GOG really this incompetent? or do they expect us to double spend for the same game?

Would've been bad even in their day

TLDR: Unless you're planning on doing some video content with these games, avoid them. These games aged terribly, and I doubt they were considered good back in the day (1988-1991). * The first, Heroes of the Lance, is a side scroller with unresponsive controls and an obscure method of combat: you have to hold Enter, then press a direction to attack. This only works if "Combat" is shown on the bottom left of the screen. Running is done by holding up together with the intended direction. During a run, pressing Enter will make you jump - Raistlin is the only character that doesn't run, but he kinda levitates when you try to jump, which is crucial for jumping over one specific gap, so you need him alive at least until that part. I don't know which configuration could make the game run faster, as simply increasing the CPU Cycles (CTRL + F12) in DOSBox makes no difference. The game can also crash if there's too much stuff on the screen. * Dragons of Flame builds on HotL's questionable foundations, but with a manual that DOES NOT LIST THE CONTROLS. Combat still maintains the Hold Enter + arrow to attack, only working when enemies are nearby. It also has a more menu options, opened with Space, but most keyboard keys will instantly open one of the listed options, such as [U]se, [T]ake, [G]ive, [D]rop, [H]ero. One important key that isn't listed anywhere is numpad 0, which is used to go back from the side scroller to the overworld map view. I had to search around the internet to discover that. You also can't get back to the overworld if there are enemies nearby, like 5 squares away, you'll be put back into the side scroll view. I didn't take much time with the other two games, but, from roughly 10 minutes with Shadow Sorcerer, the last in the series, it still fails hard at having controls that make any sense, plus the mouse cursor movement isn't exactly precise. Not that I'd have enough room to go into detail here, due to character limitation of reviews.

Can't recommend

These Titles can't really be recommended, especially not for the Price (even discounted). The Problem isn't that they are old, but more that they have mostly clunky and bad Game Design. Until now i was able to make the most out of Heroes of Lance with 1+ Hour of Gameplay and if you also want to have somehow a bit of enjoyment, watch a Playthrough to learn how to deal with those Games.
