Description
An evil Necromancer has escaped from his icy prison and is wreaking havoc upon the surrounding lands. Journey to a bleak, frozen wasteland and put an end to the terror!

  • Be prepared to fight your way through over 25 dungeons - each with 8 floors within! Explore icy caverns, three ominous towers and a fantastic final dungeon!
  • Along the way, you will battle over 30 different monsters - including a variety of Tanar'ri, Mephits and Golems.
  • Avoid treacherous traps; solve mind boggling puzzles. The ability to jump and fly adds a new dimension to your quest - but be careful not to fall!
  • The 3D environment means you can look up, down and all around. Everything you view is in natural perspective - including the beasties that want you dead.

You have 3 characters to choose from: a male fighter dwarf, a male half-elf fighter mage, or a female elf mage, each of which give a unique flair to the game. Watch the mood of the game intensify as the cinematics change according to the active character. This is the nostalgia dungeon delving at its best - fast, furious, and fun.

DeathKeep will keep you in suspense and terrified for hours!

The last of the SSI D&D games

Originally released on the 3D0 as the sequel to Slayer, Deathkeep is the end of an era. The original release on the 3D0 was graphically on the impressive side especially with the scale of the dungeons in it along with a pretty strong soundtrack. For an honestly terrible system like the 3D0 it was a fairly decent dungeon crawler with some control problems. It lacked the custom dungeons of Slayer but the soundtrack was significantly better than its predecessor. But we're not talking about the 3D0 version are we? 7 months later Deathkeep was ported to DOS and we encountered the usual problems associated with converting a CD based game to the significantly weaker DOS. Worse graphics, awkward keyboard bindings and even worse controls than the 3D0 version. If you're collecting the D&D backlog on PC then you'll no doubt pick it up but be warned that it's no Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Hack. It's better than a Capstone game with Witchhaven but that's not a high bar to clear.

Terrible controls

Deathkeep is downright terrible on PC. The mouse is locked to use weapon (left mb), use magic (right mb) AND movement (literally moving the mouse in any direction). This makes playing the game with a mouse impossible as you jerk around like you have Tourette Syndrome. As for graphics, it was badly outdated when it came out (1996), it's an eyesore now for sure. Buy Witchaven instead, it's so much better in every way!

Those with motion sickness avoid.

I'm dead serious, if you have problems with motion sickness, it is like a sensory overload. I could only play like 8 minutes before everything went wrong. So I started out in the game reconfiguring the controls to modern FPS controls, and from the start it looked promising. then I moved my mouse and all hell broke loose. THEY TIED MOVEMENT TO THE MOUSE! I completly forgot that was a thing in the 90's cause nothing was standardized for FPS, It was a chaotic wasteland of "yeah that'll work" I mean I should have realized that when the contols were designated to up down left right buttons. So when using the WASD and mouse movement together, the game becomes Dungeons and Dragons on ICE, AND MAY ALL THE GODS IN THE REALM HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SENSES! Cause I had a stomach virus before I wrote this review and that was much more appealing. HOWEVER, there are elements that were so interesting I really wish I could play it and not get sick. So I guess get your legally aquired 3DO port of the game and try to get it working on there. Sorry but I like my stomach contents to stay where they are.

I Really Tried

Objective Review 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great gameplay. 4 of 5 great story average gameplay. 3 of 5 average story great gameplay. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favorite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist -1 of 5 avoid DeathKeep score is -1 of 5. Subjective Review I would really enjoy this game with better controls. I got pretty far but eventually gave in to the horrible game mechanics. The mystery/exploration/fighting fun parts of the game slowly vanished with each painful step until I finally said, "No more..."
