this game is a whole lot better. the first dungeon lords was way screwed up. i mean , REALLY screwed up. like, in the great tower, i was at the top and the elevator has a bug so i had to reset my file and there were many more bugs also. but this game isent any different exept for they fixed most of the bugs and most of the levels are fixed. like, in #1, there would be huge hotels and yet there was not one piece of furniture in it and there would be fireplaces to change time and yet there was no fire in it.DO NOT GO OUT AND BUY #1! this game is the same exept they added more levels and fixed every thing that they were supposed to do in the original dungeon lords. definatly recomended.

Great Action RPG

Like you have probably read here and on other sites... the initial release of Dungeon Lords was a joke. It was released in what can only be described as an early beta version. Features, spell, locations, and just about anything else you can think of were left out in an effort to release the game as soon as possible.

Now they have released the "Collector's Edition". A better name for this edition of the game would be the "Complete Edition", as that's what it really is.

The most important thing to keep in mind when purchasing Dungeon Lords is that you absolutely must NOT purchase the regular version of the game. They have patched it up to version 1.4, but it is still very incomplete.

But I completely recommend purchasing this, the Collector's Edition. Basically everything that the developer promised for the original game is in here... and it's a blast.

The game has a great character development system, allowing you to create a character that suits your playing style. This is done as you level up and choose new skills, and classes. It's really well done.

The action is great, with lots of monsters, fun battles, and good quests. This is the kind of game that you can sit down and play for a half-hour and have fun, or sit and play for 8 hours and have fun.

So, once again... if you're going to purchase Dungeon Lords make sure you get this version and not the original.

Caveat emptor!

If this game is offered as freeware, don't waste time or space downloading it. Herky jerky movement, detatched interaction:i.e., combatant & foes don't actually make contact, low quality graphics and illogical control functions combine to make this the worst RPG I have ever played. Starting with Well of Souls & Dink Smallwood, through the series of Diablo, Dungeon Seige, Neverwinter Nights, Baldar's Gate, Arcanum, Sacred, Divine Divinity and most recently Fable, I have never experienced anything even remotely as disappointing as this. If there was a rating lower than 1 star this game would deserve it!

Absolutely Criminal

Dreamcatcher and Bradley seriously lack any shade of integrity to release this "Collector's Edition" as a only-in-retail-box condition. Any casual observer could tell that to not provide this content as a patch is a slap in the face of the consumer. That said, reviews still show that even the improvements they've made in this "1.5 verision" are buggy and unpredictable.

As someone who pre-purchsed the original Dungeon Lords, I was already burned by this company once, and will NOT do it again. Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me.

Why should I be expected to pay ANOTHER $40 for *gasp* --- furniture in the cities! This game will likely go down in history as the most infamous sham on game players worldwide. Please, please, refrain from buying this title. It COULD have been good, but, alas, it is not.

Flora collecting are we? Where are all the rocks. ;)

Can't see the forest for the Trees, that's way Forest Lords(my new name for it what ever "it" is.) is so awful. The collector's can is just a way of saying "we're too lazy to patch our game so we'll just sell it in a can to you suckers who haven't bothered to buy it yet. BUY IT IN A CAN. To top this reciew off with a fuzzy beer head, so I'll actually get posted, The only "good" part of this game is that it could have been so. Adverb redundancy asside, in fact, quite fankly and so on, you develope your insignificant little hapless adventurer in to a great warrior(or mage if that's your schticK) but the only "develpoe ment" is in the foarm of "Stat numbers" which really amount to nothing at all. Strength is for heavy wheapon wielding yet not damage bonus(though it says it is at extreme levels) it, in fact, is not. The mein changes in the character creattion screen are, in fact, not "implemented yet" or ever. The dungeons(I haven't found em) "haven't, quite frankly, been invented yet." You talk to the reps they, quite frankly, get sick of your belly acheing and rave like the luneitics they are about how, "hard" they worked on the game. I, quite frankly, don't care.

Collectors Edition ?

... add a bit more content and charge $40 ????
I didn't see an expansion pack.
I didn't see a DL2.
Talk about arrogance !
For goodwill purposes to those of us who purchased DL(.. I bought it twice), you would think the extra content would have been included in DL.
Don't buy this game = it just reinforces the notion that game companies can put out garbage and still make money
We buyers have to draw the line somewhere.
Buy DL, patch it to 1.4 with the whopping 139mb patch ... heck, buy it used; teach them a lesson ... especially after this arrogant decision

Still A Piece Of Crap

The original Dungeon Lords was released a year before it was ready. Now you get DL-Collector's Edition, and I (the dummy that I am) decided to try it again.

The game does NOT run on any laptop/notebook computers. It does not run on a third or more of desktop systems. Instead it will flash for two seconds and then go back to Windows without a word. The reason - they only support a very small subset of video cards, and no notebook cards at all. And you have to dig through the Dreamcatcher web site to figure this out, it's nowhere in the documentation or readme.

So maybe they've improved it, but now it doesn't work anyway. And once again it goes back - at least I only wasted a few minutes on it this time. DON'T BUY THIS GAME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

Dungeon Lords Collector's Edition is a waste of money. You will not enjoy it. You will feel robbed and you will be angry enough to write warnings such as this. Please, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!

Disappointing - but not for the usual reason!

OK, my mistake. I thought since DW Bradley wrote it, it would be turn based. Wrong! If you have poor hand-eye coordination like me, forget it. Otherwise, it ran fine on Win2000, but crashed repeatedly on XP. Go figure!

Monkey developers, terrible game? What explains this?

How could this game be release yet again with so many bugs? Has anyone from Dreamcatcher actually played it? Something is wrong here... I waited until they could fix it (i.e. Collectors edition), hoping for the decent RPG it could of been, and this is their best? Someone has to lose a job here, because this is a complete failure. The physics are off, the game crashes, and locks up! The sound effects are terrible, the game play is clumsy. Don't buy this game, no matter what edition. Punish them please, avoid future titles, they must never attempt this again. Note to Heuristic Park/Developers: find another career. To everyone else: this is not worth your money. God awful trash.
