Sword coast legends review
Gameplay
The game is an action role-playing video game set within the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It features typical races and classes of the Forgotten Realms setting. The game is set in the fictional Sword Coast region of super continent Faerûn on planet Toril. Graphics are in 3D. It resembles older Dungeons & Dragons games such as the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights series. One addition to the game is that it allows players to be a "dungeon master" (or DM) with a very limited tool-set. Thus, the game tries to resemble the tabletop version of Dungeons & Dragons. It features single-player and co-operative multiplayer modes. The game is available on several platforms including Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was released in 2015. The game was directed by Dan Tudge, the president of N-Space and the director of the critically acclaimed Dragon Age: Origins. Inon Zur, who previously led the music development of Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout 3, composed, produced, and conducted all the music for the game. The music was performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
Reception
The game was met with a mixed critical reception upon release. Aggregating review website Metacritic gave the Microsoft Windows version 61/100 based on 8 reviews. PC Gamer awarded it a score of 55%, calling it "A straightforward cliché that feels out of place in the new wave of cRPGs." IGN awarded it a score of 5.5 out of 10, saying "Poor creation tools and an aversion to genuine, interesting decision-making keep Sword Coast Legends from succeeding."
