[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6739819, member: 37579"] [b]1 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Legends[/b] I cannot recommend this game. Maybe on a 75% off Steam sale. After some serious patching. And expansion of the DM Tools. Maybe. Instead, go check out some of the older D&D games on [URL="http://www.gog.com/"]Good Old Games[/URL] (which *just* released a bunch of “new” ones) or the remastered version of Baldur’s Gate. Maybe check out Planescape: Torment or the Eye of the Beholder series. Or try Neverwinter. It’s free. Or check out the newly released Enhanced Edition of Divinity: Original Sin, which is reportedly free to anyone who already bought the PC version. The story is weak. Nothing special. Maybe the promised Rage of Demons module (offered free to anyone who pre-ordered in response to the delay in release) will be better, but so far that’s absent. While the game seems like more of an action hack-and-slash Diablo clone, the gameplay is often slow: healing is slow, searching is slow, waiting for cooldowns are slow. Attacking is aimed and passive and less the active clickfest of modern games. To say nothing of the awkward camera movement. It doesn’t compare well, especially to modern iterations like Diablo 3 or Torchlight. Two or three years ago Sword Coast Legends could at *least* claim to be one of the few isometric RPGs on the market, with that style of game having fallen to the wayside in favour of more 3rd Person views. But recently other high profile games of that format have been released, including Divinity: Original Sin in 2014 and Pillars of Eternityearlier this year. Both of which received a great response from the community. The big selling feature is the adventure designer. But this is not only inferior to the version included in Neverwinter Nights but to the one included in the Neverwinter MMO. At this point Neverwinter has been out for a couple year of bug fixes, improvements, and content increases to its adventure designer and is a Free-2-play game making it significantly cheaper than Sword Coast Legends as an online adventure tool.
