What Gamespot Users have to say about The Temple of Elemental Evil

  • Rating:7.2

    Temple is a welcome addition to the D&D games. I am a Baldur’s Gate innate; I played all of the expansions, and BG 2 and its expansion. They are without a doubt a hard act to follow. Since then I have played a myriad of ... Read Full Review

    I cut my teeth on the original Baldur’s Gate so my experience with RPG may not be as long as others. The Temple of Elemental Evil even with its few bugs and greedy NPCs is still an enjoyable game. I never did finish Neve... Read Full Review

    Great D&D rules implementation and squad based combat. Everything else is disappointing.

    ToEE has the best D&D rules implementation to date and the squad based combat is a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the patchwork feel of the game combined with questing that is minimal and forgettable ranks it much lower tha... Read Full Review

    This is a very good game with some flaws. The gameplay is very similar to Troika's previous game, Arcanum, only adapted to D&D 3.5ed. rules and settings. This has been enhanced beyond Arcanum by having 5 party member... Read Full Review

    Trying to find out about all the intricate little details that are needed to truly make use of the full capacity of ToEE's 3.5 ed. D&D rules is a bit duanting. Many are buried in a small novel of a manual with an inadeq... Read Full Review

    A good game that could have been great. How many times recently has that been said about a CRPGs? It's really too bad when companies get so close to a classic, but just miss. The Good: Graphics - the graphics are... Read Full Review

    You can set up hotkeys using Alt-(keystroke), but it's not surprising other reviewers missed it. This shows how complex the game is, and how the manual is relatively skimpy since it can't possibly summarize all of D&D 3... Read Full Review

    Highly recommmend this game for anyone over 40 ;). Its turn based. Its based on the Gold Box Series combat. It is pure D&D rules, a perfect 100% implementation. it has a light but adequate story line. For me it is the ga... Read Full Review

    This is the best turn based tactical combat engine I have played, and I have played many of them. I've been gaming since the late 70's. This game implements the best isometric perspective combat engine ever, IMO. Supe... Read Full Review

    This is a great hack-and-slash game brought down to earth by lots of bugs and poor documentation.

    Temple of Elemental Evil is a very promising game, but it lacks some basics. For better or worse, this is unlike any game you have ever played. This is a true, nut-and-bolt recreation of pen and paper Dungeons and Drag... Read Full Review
