Dragonshard Review

WorthPlaying is next in line with a fairly positive review of Dragonshard, giving Atari and Liquid Entertainment’s RTS/RPG hybrid an overall score of 7.8/10. Here’s why:

All in all, Dragonshard was a nice romp through a D&D universe, but at times, it felt like I was playing through what I have done before, most likely because the mechanics are a melting pot of aspects from various preceding games. The upper and lower dynamic was probably my favorite part, especially when you enter the underworld and you have to start looking out for traps and ambushes. Sadly though, there is no sense of permanence with your character, as they are basically a blank slate when you start a new chapter. You cannot upgrade your champions in any way, which is the game’s single biggest deficiency. Regardless of these negatives, Dragonshard was a rather solid experience, and I feel easily justified in giving it the accolades it deserves.
