Let me start off by saying that the first thing you will want to do when loading up this game is to get a cold drink. So with the huge honor of being the game that could very well redefine the genre, Pool of Radiance (PoR) has been cast down onto us mere mortals. To many people, Dungeons & Dragons is the be all, end all of RPGs. For this new Pool must be stopped, and you and your cohorts love adventure, so. Quickly you find that maybe you didn’t just happen upon that portal, maybe larger forces are at work. After getting your bearings you realize that you are near the fabled (yet decrepit) city of Myth Drannor. As any good adventurer would do, your group jumped into the portal and instantly found themselves among a small crowd of monsters. Instead, they were cut down, and you and your team just happened to be on the other end of the portal. In an attempt to escape their deaths, the group’s sorcerer opened a portal into which they could escape. The Pool, which emanates pure evil, was closed and the lands rejoiced, singing songs of the great deeds these heroes had performed.īut all is not well - for evil, true evil, cannot be stopped.Ī new Pool of Radiance has emerged and the land's greatest heroes sallied forth to meet this challenge. Ten years ago, a cadre of adventurers banded together and rose up to the challenge of stopping a Pool of Radiance that had manifested itself and brought evil to the edge of world domination.
The characters in Pool of Radiance Ruins of Myth Drannor are not quite as highly detailed, but to be fair I think this may be because of how high-quality the backgrounds are you notice them more. For a game that was released in 2002, I feel that the backgrounds hold up very well. They have used prerendered backgrounds and they look fantastic. I am talking specifically about the backgrounds and areas you will be traversing in the game. I think that the visuals are fairly decent. The story is about some team of villains trying to take all this magic, destroy an elf city or something like that, even the story is boring! At Least It Looks Good This is fine, but they needed to have made the game a more fun experience. There is no deep class system like you would expect from a Dungeons and Dragons license and the whole game feels like it has been streamlined to try and attract a more casual audience. I would say that after you have spent the first few hours sneaking around, slashing away at an enemy that you have seen all the game has to offer. The thing is, it does neither of these things too well. You see the game is trying its best to walk the line of being a Dungeons and Dragons RPG, but at the same time offer the same kind of quick-paced hack and slash gameplay as Diablo. The biggest issue that most people have with Pool of Radiance Ruins of Myth Drannor is the overall gameplay.
