another "almost-done" game

User Rating: 4 | Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard PC
When i first got this game i realised that my graphic card wasnt good enough and it took me quite a while after i bought the game to play it.

I like the idea of fusion of RPG and RTS together but when you play it, you get the feeling that the game is incomplete. The first thing i didnt like was the hotkeys. Hotkeys are the key in the RTS games but DS keys were just everywhere. You have to look at key option to tell which hotkey is for the units etc. Another one was the formation of units. Sometimes when you have full capacity and many underlings following the captains, the units just dont go where you want them to go. I dont even want to go about the balances of units cuz its just a mess.

The gameplay is i guess around the average. I didnt get the storyline at all just that they wanted to use DS or whatever. Campaigns are somewhat really easy once you know about the game.

The sound is ok and the narrator is really annoying. When i was trying to learn about the game i took the tutorials and they drove me mad cuz of the narrator.

I dont get why the game has skirmish and the muliplayer separately. it seems very unnecessary. One thing about the multiplayer is that even when you play with pc, there is a slight lag. The patches dont help at all cuz they dont get installed in any way possible

So in conclusion, the game could have been greater but stopped in the halfway
