<a href=http://www.totalvideogames.com>Total Video Games</a> (btw, did you guys notice that some sites have really stupid names?), posted a 3-page <a href=http://www.totalvideogames.com/pages/articles/index.php?article_id=5777>first look</a> at <a href=http://www.heuristicpark.com>Dungeon Lords</a>. That "first look" actually is either an interview or a paid advertisement since it made almost entirely of quotes aimed to convince people that <b>DL</b> is a great RPG loaded with full role-playing experience and all kinda sophisticated stuff.

<blockquote>“Dungeon Lords has been created and specifically designed to appeal to a broad game base; we want RPG fans, who love large detailed worlds, grand stories and customisable characters, and <u>we want people who may never have played an RPG but who enjoy fighting games.</u> Dungeon Lords combines the depth of a D.W. Bradley RPG with an accessible and fun combat interface that offers action fans an intuitive way into the RPG. At the same time, we have included features to simplify combat for hard-core RPG fans who may have less experience with action games.”</blockquote>Yep, it's so exciting to play an RPG made for people who've never heard of RPGs but like fighting games.

So if I like Super Street Fighter Turbo 3: next generation 2, then I'll probably like this game?

Dont fighting games require health bars?

I haven't read up on this game but if it has a fighting game combat scheme, it could be pretty cool, provided that there aren't too many enemies, good AI, and challenging battles. If it's NWN-esque, I'm just going to say 'meh'.

Does this mean that it will have turn-based combat?

 

[dunduks]

Hmmm, fighting....
Well, if its half as good as King Of Fighters, Samurai Showdown or ONI, then it'll be on my buy list, but i doubt that since those are great fighting games.

I've never played Bloodrayne but I hear it's like a gory version of Oni.

I've never played Bloodrayne but I hear it's like a gory version of Oni.

Oni had ho-hum level design and some of the worst textures I've seen this side of the original Quake, but the combat engine was super-fabulous. If DL achieves anything close to that type of control scheme, it might be well worth playing. Sure, it won't be an RPG, but it could end up being a stellar dungeon brawler.
