 Dark and Clunky September 19, 2008
On the plus side, it's Dungeons and Dragons.
On the minus side:
- It's dark. Really dark. Not Film Noir dark but hard-to-see dark. Take a look at the screenshots above and you'll notice that all but one of them is an outdoor encounter. The one indoor shot is full of lava. 75% of the game takes place in unlit indoor dungeons. Playing the dungeons in daylight places is difficult, even in the shade. Light levels vary between characters, and sometimes don't follow. Go from a human with a light spell to a dwarf using darkvision and you may or may not be able to see the dwarfs surroundings. It's difficult to distinguish doors from walls.
- Shopping for gear, equipping gear and figuring out how to lighten your load is clunky. What a particular weapon or piece of armor will do is displayed in a column that's only a couple of words wide, with the numeric information at the bottom. There's no mechanism for comparing an item in a shop with what your character currently has equipped.
- Buffs don't get displayed. You get an icon over your characters head on screen, but there's no display for +stats anywhere. Maybe they work, maybe they don't. Hard to tell.
- Very difficult to get started, especially if you don't save/re-roll/reload each character level to get better hit points. It then gets abruptly easy with some of the upper level spells.
- If the one character you chose first (the one that's "you") dies, the game ends. Even if you have a Cleric standing there ready to raise you.
- Dungeons shut off on events, if you don't collect the loot before killing the boss, you missed it.

This game has alot to offer a fan of the D&D universe, but has a learning curve.
 Great if you like D&D August 4, 2008

This game is great if you like D&D. If you dont then you wont have a clue wat is going on in the game. The game can be kinda slow but it can get tense. So if you like D&D or know how to play it get this game.
Stop right there. August 4, 2008

I know. I was there, too. I read all the mediocre reviews. I read the bad ones. Incredibly, once in a while, I found a good one. I thought to myself, "Could it be true? Could D&D Tactics really suck that bad?" The sad, sad answer is "Yes."
This game is truly horrible. Blame Atari, or blame Wizards of the Coast, or blame Kuju, or blame yourself for thinking this could be at all decent.
Just don't blame me.
I told you not to buy it.
Oh, wait, I didn't do that yet.
OK, here's my advice: Press your browser's BACK button as quickly as possible and never look here again.
Don't buy this.
Don't.
You'll even regret spending the shipping even if this game cost you a penny.
The purchase of a game like this only encourages the production of awful video games.
Here's the real deal:
Q: Does it have Dungeons?
A: Yes.
Q: Does it have Dragons?
A: Yes.
Q: Does It have even an INKLING of fun?
A: No. Sadly, no.
I wanted to like this game. I really did. I wanted to like it so much I played it for 29.7 hours. True story. But, try as I might, I can't like an awful game. And I sure as hell would never recommend one.
If you still want to play it, I have one for sale cheap.
It Locks Up and Shots down the PSP June 20, 2008
I have been waiting so long for a patch for this game, i guess i will have to take it back to amazon and get something else, I liked the game it was an old test of d&d but it locks up when i fight the 4 flying angels. EVERY time. I am stuck there and it shuts the machine right off. anyone else do this? There are no scratches. i wonder if the game disk is just bad or is it the game in genral? I never find anyone else online either
