Tags: Temple of Elemental Evil; Troika GamesReal Gamer UK posted a review of Temple of Elemental Evil giving it 7.6 because of complex battle systems and confusing character development.
There is no doubt that fans of Dungeons and Dragons will find something to love in this game however newcomers to the genre may be put off by the games complex battle systems and confusing character development. A little more consideration for newcomers (translation: moron indicators) would have been appreciated but as it stands anyone who has not played this type of game before will probably spend more time reading the manual in frustration than actually playing the game. If you can tolerate a harsh learning curve then this game is probably for you, what it tries to do it does well and the various routes through the game add some replay valueThey complained several times about having to read the manual. Don't they teach kids to read in England nowadays?
