Decent RPG made better by fans

ToEE is a strange game. The first part of it consists in daisy chained fed ex quests in a rather large village called Hommlet. The quests are mind numbingly boring and after a while you develop a deep felt disgust with the inhabitants of Hommlet. So why play it? Well. The game features the best rule set of AD&D - 3.5 and it is well implemented. And best of all the fans fixed the games! A select group of heroes known as the Circle of Eight (Co8.org) has released a mod which fixes most, if not all, of the bugs. Adds loads of new content: new spells, new areas. One of these new areas is called Welkwood Bog and it is an alternative to the Hommlet quests. Just bring your party and start swinging! With the mod installed, it is an excellent game.

The awesome unforgiving rules of D&D

The Temple of elemental Evil is a game based on the Dungeons & Dragons Module of the same name, regarded by some as one of the most unforgiving modules of D&D but also one of the most popular. Like the pen & paper module, The Temple of elemental Evil from Troika is hard and unforgiving. The game uses the D&D 3.5 rules and by the time I first played this game I only had an idea of what D&D was, so I ended up with a dead party on my first combat. I gave up on the game there and then, but after having tried the actual D&D pen and paper game, I got hold of some of the game's mechanics and saw where I failed before, so I decided to give the game another try! This time I was prepared, I made my party full of nice guys, a Righteous Paladin party leader, a cocky and sexy female Half-elf ranger, the not so bright fighter, the prankster Sorcerer and the reserved female cleric in a quest for wisdom. By the time of my first combat, a bard another cleric and a wizzard had joined my party, I was ambushed by Undead Gnolls and despite prevailing I was struck by the realization of how three of my original party members were dead and beyond any healing. That was when I realized that this game was one of the most perfect conversion of D&D combat rules to a video game, for I felt the same when I first tried D&D the pen and paper game, the rules were unforgiving and fun. The social aspect of the game could see some improvement but any Dungeons & Dragons fan who at the time of play lacks a group of friends to play with this can pretty much fulfill your needs. As for those who don't know how to play D&D and are interested in trying or for those who are trying to learn for themselves, I must say this is one of the best ways to practice and learn the mechanics of D&D 3.5 This game could be so much more and that is why I didn't give it 5 stars and it makes me wonder why it doesn't have a multiplayer mode or a sequel for that matter. Bear in mind that I recommend that you play this game with the Circle of Eight mod, fixes bugs and adds content.

Co8 fixed all! Give it a chance...

Era un juego lleno de bugs... hasta que Circle of Eight hizo las maravillas que podéis encontrar en su página. Resolvió todos los fallos, pero no contentos con eso, han ampliado la historia con nuevos personajes y localizaciones. Si te pica la curiosidad , pásate por su página o por Moddb, donde tienen sus "The Circle of Eight Modpacks", en descarga gratuita. Todo trabajo e ilusión por poner esta joya al nivel que merece. It was a game full of bugs ... until Circle of Eight did wonders you can find on their page. They solved all issues, but not content with that, they have expanded the story with new characters and locations. If you are curious, stop by their page or ModDB, where they have their "The Circle of Eight Modpacks" for free download. All work and hope to put this jewel to the level it deserves.

My all-time favourite cRPG, hands-down

I possess a late 70s pen & paper 1st edition D&D heritage, and I remember fondly the original Temple of Elemental Evil module that was released in the late 1980s, in step with the Village of Hommlet (T1) module. This computer game was a loving recreation of that classic module by Gygax and Mentzer, a superb representation of the 3.5 edition ruleset, with one of the better interfaces I have seen in a turn-based tactical game. The fact that over a decade later, mods are still being put out for this game speaks to just how highly regarded this game is held in the RPG community. I initially completed this game back in 2003, bugs and all, and without the aid of the Circle of Eight mod, playing a mighty paladin as my main character. Since then, I have completed the game numerous times with the Circle of Eight content installed, and I can only say that this game beats Baldur's Gate, and any other cRPG of this generation, most definitely.

Excellent Old School D&D game

I bought this game several times over the years. Recently got into it and am now at the Temple of Elemental Evil with my level 4 characters. It's a solid game that has held up very well for its age. It's certainly worth more then the $5.99 I spent on it. You can always find something to complain about, but this game delivers.
