I bought this little game on sale
(PSN), not noticing that it was a sequel until after I'd bought it
for $6.50. I figured, oh well, game sequels are often improved
versions of the first release, so I hoped it was standalone and
wouldn't require any previous experience. I was very pleasantly
surprised by this game--I've played a lot of old-school dungeon
RPG's, but the concept here was truly unique. My characters sat at a
table with their backs to me, across from a DM with the imagined
monsters and places appearing behind him. The DM would deliver quest
dialogue, and the NPC's encountered would appear behind him to add to
the dialogue. Although a lot of the game elements were standard RPG
fare, the truly fun and original spin was the dialogue between the
characters and the DM. Side comments, jokes, stupid questions, etc.
that you'd experience at a real D&D session were all there to
really make this game feel like a true pen and paper, tabletop game.
And that meant I couldn't wait to play my next game session!
