Several days ago I had the chance to play the latest build of DreamCatcher's fantasy RPG, currently under development by Heuristic Park, the authors of Wizards & Warriors. Its author is the famed David W. Bradley, the designer of several Wizardry titles (namely 5, 6 and 7). I hastily discharged it as 'just another fantasy RPG' with a cliché story and several playable stereotypical races. I was wrong. Although many game's elements still look rough and need some serious polish, it is obvious that Dungeon Lords manages to incorporate the RPG and the action elements in a very satisfying manner, making a pleasant mixture of sword-wielding, spell-casting and character development. After initial skepticism, I plunged into the dark and dangerous world of Dungeon Lords infested with goblins, bats, thieves, orc trolls and headless brutes. (In case you're wondering, the latter is a giant headless ungulate gone bad.)
There's a certain irony that the word cliché is used in this paragraph.
