#DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS HEROES PC MANUAL#

This is really a shame, as the party's wizard, Raistlin, was a sarcastic antihero in the novels and his sociopathy was frequently showing in the dialogues.

No dialogues between characters, unlike Dragons of Flame.

The same goes for enemies: You never know what you're fighting, and the graphics really don't help, with half-dragons looking like gargoyles. For example, there is a huge pot in one of the backgrounds, which is a reference to the book, but that isn't explained.

The lack of a proper storyline results in some elements of the game being really cryptic.At least, the PC version told you who was who.

The intro of the NES version doesn't have character descriptions, which, again, leaves you unable to know what is going on unless you read the manual books.

This isn't really explained and only mentioned twice, when you start the game and when all your characters are dead. The game is supposed to take place halfway through the first Dragonlance Chronicles novel, when the heroes have to go to the ancient city of Xak Tsaroth to retrieve the disks of Mishakal.

The game doesn't really have a plot unless you know about the very niche Dragonlance novels.

The music is as lifeless as the game's graphics, and quickly becomes annoying.

You'll be tired of seeing the same gray hallway in the beginning before long.

Drab graphics and unimpressive presentation.

This is exactly the reason why most recent D&D video games have quick access menus.

Casting a spell or using the spear requires spending several minutes in the menu, which gets boring pretty quickly. You can't block and most weapons approximately have the same reach as a butter knife.

Combat incomprehensibly bad, dull and frustrating.If Goldmoon is dead for good, then the game is completely unwinnable because she is the only character that can defeat the final boss.Your characters move very slowly, comparing to every ports and every NES games, most of them move faster than this.Your starting character is Goldmoon, one of the more frail characters in the game as she is the party's cleric.Bottomless pits permanently kills a character, and they cannot be revived.
