My first first person rpg (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance)





Game: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance
Released: 1992
Status: Did not beat it.
Rating: 5/10

Ya know, this game's alright. It really likes brown. Everything in this game is brown it seems. It's a pretty basic structure: get mission, complete mission, repeat, but it's got an interesting combat system. Instead of just telling your characters to fight and so on you get to strategically position them during the fight. It makes it interesting, but it is a difficult game. It's hard to hit the enemies and there is a steep learning curve. If you're not familiar with AD&D it would be tough to get started as it just starts on some menu screen where you have to make your characters and then choose them, then finally begin your adventure. If you don't know what you're doing it can be difficult to figure out what is happening. But once you get started its easy to grasp, just not easy to beat.
