Dungeon Lords? No Way....

Do NOT buy this game. It is buggy like you wouldn't believe, the patch does not address even helf the issues.

From the first when you go to create your character, the appearance function keys do not work, can't do the hair, skin coloring, etc, the buttons are there, they just DON'T work.

So the patch takes that option out. Still talks about it over on the side though, but now there is no text on the buttons about it, just blank buttons. Lame.

I spent $40 on this game and its sitting in a drawer now and will until they fix it, which knowing companies will be with an "expansion" which is REALLY a HUGE patch in disguise.

Buggy Release

The game could have been great, but unfortunately, they seem to have released the Beta version. There is no automap, and you cannot customize your characters as advertised. In addition, there are a lot of game-stopping bugs that people have run into. There is one patch already and another that was supposed to be out this week, but has been delayed again. If they can fix the bugs with the second patch I might give this game a higher rating, but you should avoid buying it until at least the 1.2 patch is out. And if I were you, I would check the Dreamcatcher web site and their forums to see what the patch fixes before you buy it.

After waiting patiently for this game to actually be patched and deliver what it promises, I have to say I am completely dissapointed. Dreamweaver studios has really been a let down by release a game that delivers on almost nothing it claims. The owners of this game who have basically been robbed should just be referred to as beta testers, this game should have never been released in its current state. Spend your money elsewhere.

D. W. Bradley should get himself sued for this marketing!

I think the guy who created this game should get sued for this marketing because many people have been saying it's a bad game with glitches and bugs man that is not good. I think Dungeon Lords should be taken off shelves and D. W. Bradley should get sued for this Marketing!

This game is absolutely horrible. No graphical character customization. No keys for turning, only strafing. Manual is extremely inadequate. Game play is awkward and clunky. Reminds me of old games for my Commodore 64 20 years ago. Designed and implemented about as well. Don't buy it, but if you must you can have mine!!! I'd rate it a 0 but the ratings only go as low as 1.

Spent more money on the box design than the game

I felt that this game was released as a pusposeful insult to the game consumer. I bought it, and now use the DVD as a coaster. At least I can get some value out of my purchase that way.

Purchased this even with the bad reviews, thought nothing could be that bad, first mistake. Played it for 2 hours hoping it would get better second mistake.

Apart from the awful combat and collision detection systems, you never know if you are actually making contact until they fall over. The loot is very repetitive and annoying to collect. Then there is the lock picking for nearly every chest most of which have nothing worth having inside.

Then the skill points system that you have to keep checking to upgrade the confussing number of skills, you can distribute the points wherever you like(which doesn't make any logical sense), unlike most games where the use of a skill automatically increases your proficiency in that skill.

Maybe we have been spoilt by games like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Dungeon Siege and almost any other recent game (as in the last 5 years), but after a few tries at this game I gave up in disgust, the game has no redeeming features that I could find and if I could I would ask for my money back.

Final words of advice "don't buy it".

It's not finished

Sadly what could have been a terrific came was released prematurely. PC gamers review of zero stars is harsh, but if they won't give us a finsished game, why should they get any stars at all.

Hopefully in a few patch versions they'll get caught up, but by that time dreamcatcher, Heuristic park and Dungeon Lords will become will become a new catchphrase (and joke) for the industry trend to release games before they are done.

WHY?

The ability to patch a game does NOT give a manufacturer the right to sell you incomplete goods. It's false advertising, should be illegal and shows a blatent disregard for their PAYING customers.(Previous customers) I expect a book to be finished when I buy it, I don't expect to see a half edited film when I pay my ticket to see a movie.

One other thing-to all of you who review the item with out actually playing the thing- stop. This is a forum for informed opinions about a product from people who have experience with the product. When I read about people rating a game they haven't played because the site won't let them express an opinion with out doing so-DON'T.

A Total Ripoff

Released before finished and probably will never be finished.
No Furniture in any towns (no NPC's either). No Caves to explore (as it says on the box). Half the features do NOT work, but if you like being a fighter it's kinda fun. More than half the spells are not working. Character custimization is not there even though the buttons are on the new player menu, but after many complaints, they fixed it. They removed the buttons. Enjoy mulitplayer with all the same characters?
I reccomend you buy this game when it hits the DISCOUNT bins, and it will be there sooner than you think. Did I mention NO Ingame Music? Did I mention Boss's who say take all the goodies in my castle (but there's nothing in the castle)?
Bottom line is the game had MUCH potential, but they went for the quick buck and are paying the price. Read the game Reviews before YOU WASTE YOUR 50.00.
As one gamer put it, this game is missing so much it belongs on the back of a Milk Carton!
