10 Essential Dungeons And Dragons Video Games For Hardcore Fans

8. Shadows Over Mystara

As far as D&D games go, this one definitely stands out. Already in this list we’ve had real time combat and a turn-based text adventure, but who would’ve thought that D&D had a side-scroller beat ‘em up game? Yes, similar to the old-school Mortal Kombat games which are still going strong, as well as titles like Street Fighter and Tekken, Shadows Over Mystara has options to choose different classes and fight with your friends.

If you haven’t heard of this one, don’t worry, not many people had for a long time after its release. However, when the game came to Xbox Arcade, more people started to discover it. The game itself still holds up pretty well, even if some mechanics like the wizard’s spells feel a little frustrating, and the art-style is incredibly unique and very iconic. So, if you’re a D&D fan who’d rather sit at the games table than mash button on a controller against your friends, may I suggest you use this game to delve back into fighting games as it’s a lot of fun.
