Dungeons & Dragons is back in the form of a new Facebook game, Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of Neverwinter. The game is in its open beta phase right now and is free to play for anyone. DnD: HoN is looking to shape-up into a great game and I’m definitely not the type to abuse Facebook titles. It’s a fun, easy little-dungeon crawler complete with multiplayer for up to 3 players. I had trouble figuring it out at first only because it was turn based and had to wait for the enemies to make a move before doing anything.
The game is very traditional. It’s very much like the classic table-top game. Players will be able to customize their own heroes (4 races and 4 classes) and customize them with 30 different skill sets. There exists a very vague Game Master (not an actual player) and the chance system will make a return. Players fond of the classic D&D will find this game quite the find and new players will finally understand what D&D actually is.
The game boasts over 50 dungeons and a variety of 40 different creatures for you to fight. Atari also claims players will be able to create their own dungeons for their friends to venture into. So go out there and begin your adventure in the world of Dungeons & Dragons!
