DESCRIPTION

This action-oriented RPG allows players to design a custom character who will adventure though a realm of classic medieval fantasy. The game features an unusual perspective, close behind the player's character, which allows for a "WASD" first-person-style control scheme, but with a third-person range of view. Character creation options include a variety of race and classes, and the game world spans majestic mountains, murky swamps, bustling villages, deep forests, arctic wastelands, foreboding dungeons, and more. A number of NPCs are featured, to give quests, barter for items, cause trouble, and hint at hidden secrets. The game can be played solo, or heroes can join through an Internet connection to adventure together. Dungeon Lords was written by D.W. Bradley, who is known for programming and design work on earlier computer RPGs such as Wizards & Warriors, Might and Magic: World of Xeen, Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge, and Wizardry V. ~ T.J.
