Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun
D&D doldrumsGenre: rpg - western
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Turn-based combat. Extremely simple, boring combat. Maneuver your characters into a position from which they can strike and then choose a weapon to use. Isometric view except sometimes it's a dungeon crawler, I guess. I never saw those areas. Lots of menuing. Very slow movement. I appreciate not having to push any buttons to talk with someone.
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
I couldn't find anything to do. I was outclassed in nearly every battle and would have to run back to the castle to heal after every fight. I also never gained levels or earned money or any of the usual rewards for grinding. No idea how to progress. The world is empty. There's no loot to find or anything to do other than walk around looking for enemies to fight.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
Well it's D&D, for better or worse. The tiny bit of narrative you're given is that the castle has been teleported to a new world and you have to go find allies. Whatever that means.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Maybe this looked good way back when, but the Ultima-inspired artwork does nothing for me. Yuck
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
An ok song which gets old after hearing it play on repeat. Luckily you can mute it. After that the game is virtually slient. Final Fantasy this is not.
Overall Score: 25
