As D.W. Bradley announced Dungeon Lords as a Fighting RPG, fights are a very strong aspect naturally - however enemies in the upper world are a little stupid compared to those who live in the dungeons...they get stuck behind rocks or cannot follow you when you walk up stairs...but then again, DL is not an easy game regarding combat, so you may be happy for these AI cutdowns. Combat animations, esp of your hero, are very nice also - with several tyopes of attacks weach put into scene realistic and nice! Combat itself is extremely well done, but it requires some time to get used to it, requires a lot of training by the player and requires developing new strategies for new enemies...obviously something, that most gamers can't live up to these days, but scream out loud and complain about the bad combat system.​
