This game is obtuse and no fun to play. Dragonlance are a series of books about the 8 characters the game shows you impressive portraits of when starting. And then it plops you in a crappy dungeon with a stick figure woman and you have no idea what's going on. The team is here to kill an evil dragon, and only Goldmoon's staff can do it, not that you'd know that, the game itself doesn't make that clear. It just assumes you've read these books.

You just get names for your people, so I will help you out and tell you a little bit about each one!

Sturm in top row, he has a big mustache and looks like a knight. He's strong and is a good character to attack.

Cameron in top row, another big warrior, he looks like a bodybuilder and his sprite he looks like a dork. He is the strongest dude. Make him leader.

Wizard dude top row. Very obvious who he is. Terrible fighter, but his spells might come in handy, like web that holds people. He gets 100 uses for his spells. If you move him to bottom row (more protection) he can't cast spells??? LOL.

A ponytail hobbit in bottom row. IDK, he was pretty weak and I didn't use him. Not sure why he is here.

A bottom row dwarf. he looks old but hardcore, and I thought he'd be a pretty good fighter, but eh.

Bushy Beard Guy bottom row. He has arrows, but he kind of sucks. Why is this guy here?

Riverwind- He has black hair and is in the bottom row. He's like a ranger, he has a bow too, so he can shoot things (from the submenu) and has a sword. He's OK. I think he loves the cleric, as he protects her when shes almost dead. Funny since shes the most important person and only he protects her.

Goldmoon, the blonde Cleric! She is the first character you see in the dungeon, and you can only see the lead character, and she's very important. She is your healer. She has a special staff that you cannot lose. If you lose it, YOU CANNOT BEAT THE GAME. Imagine my surprise. And as the lead, she's gonna fight people and- you know what, if she's that important, lets switch her out. I see two guys in armor right beside her on the giant HUD taking up the bottom of the screen.

Everything in this game is just done poorly. The fearsome dwarves who guard the dragon, look like little naked guys. The strongest hero, Cameron, who should totally be your party leader, his sprite looks like he's cosplaying. To switch the character order, or to even pick up items off the ground or cast spells, you have to go into the submenu, and select. You get one wizard and one cleric, and if you lose them, woe is you. No more magic of their type. Its OK, most of the characters and spells are lame. The ranged attacks tend to arc and miss their shots. Combat looks very silly, and you have to poke up or down to hit the enemy, then shuffle away, and come back. To even leave the first screen by going in a doorway you have to hold UP or DOWN for 5 seconds! Its just clunky clunky controls! Also there is a giant pit right next to you as you begin to play, and you can just drop all your characters in it, one by one and end the game. Better off.

Graphics: 3
The title logo and the big portraits look GREAT! Then you see the rest of the game, all the dungeon sections are vague and unmemorable. You're gonna want to map this yourself, you'll likely get lost with how boring it all looks. The characters don't inspire heroics, they look dumpy or goofy.

Sound: 3
There is a few tracks and you will hear them over and over on loop. Its not great. But I guess I've heard worse.

Addictive: 1
There is nothing fun about this game. Only if you read this book, and you know what they are doing, is this even mildly interesting.

Depth: 3
This game has a score system, I assume for collecting treasure, as there is no shops in this dungeon to buy anything. You do get quite a few options on how to attack (ranged, close, magic) and can revive and heal party members as well as 'protect from evil'... the whole place is evil, Guess this is always on. The enemies you fight are dumb though, and tend to blunder ahead, or back away and snipe. Some of them hit like a truck, and some are weak as some of your lesser party members. LOL.

Difficulty: 7
The bad controls are your real foe. For instance, when you fight a foe and he shoots magic at you, you want to duck. Just push down, right? Its down and A. Holding down puts you in a door, so its not like just a simple down wouldn't work? The A and B don't do anything unless you are in combat, and the game tells you when by a little wording on the HUD.

This is a terribly made game. Its like fans of this series wanted to make a game that honored the plot, but forgot to include the plot! Everyone already has magic weapons, is the game half over? Who is Sturm and why should we care? What are the dics we seek, and how is going to stop a dark queen? I don't recommend this game at all. Honestly, there is a book version.
