The Temple of Elemental Evil

I love this game. Best D&D computer game ever! But without the Circle of Eight modpack it's practically unplayable. Even with that, there's still a ton of bugs. If you can stomach the technical issues and the steep difficulty curve, you'll have a blast.

Wandering into the wrong areas and getting my level 1 ass handed to me brought a tear to my eye. More RPGs need to be balanced this way. I'm also a big fan of turn based combat, which is almost impossible to find in RPGs of any stripe these days.

The game is challenging for me, and I don't know if I will push myself to complete it. Of what I have played I really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience of the game. I agree with others that say the game feels a bit like an unfinished product that could have used more refinement.

I remember this game from yers ago .Forgot how difficult it can be.

The game is a bit difficult at first but if you let yourself go and turn off the tv it's an absorbing game. Old D&D rules. With CO8 and Temple+ (takes only a couple of minutes to install both) this game really shines. Path finding could be a little better but doesn't really create a problem. And the build options are numerous. Advice: try to make it to level 2 before taking on any of the real baddies. Talk to everybody. Go in the houses to talk. The villagers don't roam very much. Make use of the flag notes. There should be enough quests in the village to get you to level 2 without getting killed. It's a fun, laid back game that doesn't push you towards the main questline like so many games in this genre. Enjoy.
