Daggerdale - Dungeon and Dragons Game

Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale takes you from the imaginary world of D&D role playing into the video game world. Fight mythical creatures as you go on quests through the Daggerdale realms. Bedlam Games have done a thorough job in recreating the authentic D&D experience in this game, so anyone used to any of the D&D games will slot straight in.

This game has had mixed reviews from various game reviewers. Unfortunately the market leader in D&D games is World of Warcraft and this game can by no means live up to that. World of Warcraft is heavily invested in whereas this game even with Bedlam Games and Atari involved can not stretch to that level. Compared to classic RPG games this is a good game. It does what it says on the tin and if you love Dungeons & Dragons then you will love this video game representation of the D&D world.

One of the main appeals of Dungeons and Dragons the game as well as the various video games is the chance to build up a mythological character, level them up, improve them and generally get attached to them. This has been implemented in the Daggerdale game. You can choose from the four character types of D&D, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard and Fighter. The Cleric focusing on healing powers, Wizard on spell casting, Rogue on thieving skills and the Fighter on fighting. Whichever path you choose will decide how you will have to play the game as they all have differing skills.

The game also features different playable races from the D&D world. You can play as Dwarves, Halflings, Humans and Elves. Halflings being the equivalent of Hobbits, but they couldn't be called Hobbits because its a trademark of Tolkien. Each race has differing attributes that will help in certain situations.

The game was initially locked at only reaching level 10 with your characters. However a request from players has resulted in the developers planning to increase the cap to level 20.
