Dungeons & Dragon Daggerdale Hot

I am not sure where I would rate this game... it is a dungeon crawler style game and I will say I have had some moments of fun.

It is a buggy game and I have had some issues with co-op where my cousin got stuck and had to leave and come back and one time he couldnt update his abilities so he had to leave and come back.

overall it is a buggy game and seems like it was rushed to make some deadline but I did enjoy the game... I still haven't beat it and plan too on one of those days when I just cant figure out what to play.

If you like the fantasy swords and spells and hack and slash game play with the possibility for coop then you can have fun even with flaws. I would personally wait for a sale though if you did get it.

Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale is a little hard for me to review because while I love playing it there are noticeable glitches from time to time. Let’s start with the good stuff. First off co-op hack-n-slashing is a ton of fun. I played the first 1/3 of the game solo before playing co-op, and now I’m not sure I can go back to playing solo because it is so much more fun co-op. The way the various classes complement each other makes things better together. The co-op takes a second to join the match which occasionally makes you think your game is not working but give it a second and you’ll spawn in. The fact that everyone other than the host can drop in and out is really nice. The story is somewhat generic but I never really cared as the focus for me is cutting down more enemies and looking for better loot.

Because of how much fun it is to play co-op Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale’s glitches do not bother me too much. Most of them don’t have any real effect on the game play. The most common ones I’ve noticed with my Rogue are that arrows sometimes show backwards in the bow (tip at the back) and when I roll the animation will just stop mid roll. Sometimes you’ll get stuck behind a barrel and you have to move around a second to wiggle free. All of these while a little annoying are not a big deal. The ones that get frustrating are when you group gets to a door and it will not open until the room is closed and restarted. Additionally, at one point my whole co-op group lost one of our abilities for the character we were using, and we’ve not been able to get it back. These things are far more frustrating as they break the flow of the game.

Even with these issues I’d still recommend getting Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale if you have some people to play co-op with. It is a fun hack-n-slash game, and there are plenty of enemies to cut down. Each character has very unique abilities so there is a good amount of replay value to check out each one and the campaign is pretty lengthy. It took our group about 12 hours to get through once.

I got this game to play with a couple of friends expecting a modern take on Diablo (like the rest of the world I'm waiting on Diablo 3). And that's sort of what this is except it's not very well done.

The two main problems are the fact that the game camera is really rubbish, often making it hard to see the action, plus the fact that we all got bored after about an hour. Pretty poor given the price.

The character abilities are pretty sucky, which was a shame. Also I hear the levels stop at 10 and there are going to be expansions to unlock higher levels (although I haven't reached 10 yet myself). If true, that makes this even worse value for the cost.

It's not awful, though. Worth a try if you like Diablo.
