10 Essential Dungeons And Dragons Video Games For Hardcore Fans

Many of the titles on this list look dated, mainly because they are. However, many fans criticised Icewind Dale and its sequel for looking dated even when they came out. At a time when every gaming company who focused on RPGs were releasing 3D adventures, like Neverwinter Nights which was released as the same time as Icewind Dale 2, this game instead chose to have 2D figures and spites on top of a more three-dimensional overworld.

Don’t be fooled by its appearance however – using the Infinity Engine like many games both at the time and even today, these games run smoothly and can lead to hours of enjoyment. The second game in particular has some absolutely breath-taking section of mass combat, and building up a city’s defences in preparation of a siege is incredibly enjoyable and gives you a real sense of accomplishment, especially as you learn more about the city and its people like you do it which gives you a real personal connection with what you’re doing.
