I was hesitant to buy it, as I thought it was a bit expensive, and then when I saw the manual was quite a few pages, I really wondered what the hell I had gotten into. After playing it a few times I put it away for about a year. Just recently I've picked it up again, however, and I have to say that I'm taking the game much more seriously and having a really good time with it.
Usually I enjoy making up my own characters. This time was no exception, though I made Conan. I just thought it would be fun to do. A barbarian based off Robert E. Howard's mastermind creation. What could go wrong? Absolutely nothing. I'm enjoying the hell out of this critically panned game this time around.
Granted, the game has issues. The camera is annoying, there are a lot of steps one must take to do simple things. That's okay, though. This is not meant for people whose attention spans are non-existent. It's more zen-like, and while you may be carving zombies limb from limb, it is actually quite peaceful.
I'm not sure why the game is called Dungeons and Dragons Tactics as it could have been called just about anything else with a Dungeons and Dragons name and made more sense. This is not some real-time strategy game, though there is that. It is a role-playing video game through and through and those looking for something different probably felt a bit ripped off. It does, however, remind me quite a bit of the old D&D games ... minus pizza and a lot of cursing.
