User Reviews
- The gold standard for turn-based D&D combat. Even years later, nothing quite matches the tactical depth found here. A must-play for any CRPG fan.
- While it was buggy at launch, modern mods and patches have turned this into a masterpiece. The Circle of Eight mod is highly recommended!
- The character building is incredibly satisfying. Following the 3.5 rules so closely makes every level-up feel impactful.
- Atmospheric, difficult, and rewarding. The Temple itself is a massive gauntlet that tests everything you have learned.
- Troika really understood the soul of tabletop gaming. It's a shame we never got a sequel using this engine.
