5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Fun & Playable Game, April 19, 2008

This review is from: Darkstone (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This game was a shock to me. I got it for free from a friend who had never played it and didn't want it because, he said, "it looks lame." It's not lame; it's actually pretty great.

The whole premise of the game is the standard fantasy fare. You need to save a small town from being taken over by an evil wizard who can, you later find out, turn into a dragon. (Yeah, I guess it does sound a little lame.) You fight your way through a ton of dungeons, you upgrade your weapons and armor as you would in any other Diablo-type game, and you have to solve puzzles in a very Zelda-like way.

What makes the game so fun is that it'll take you a very short time to get used to the interface, so you feel like an expert the whole time. That's not to say it's dumbed down or oversimplified: it's just not overly complex like some fantasy games tend to be. The story is compelling and the music is really great: seriously, give the woman by the tree some gold so she'll sing the Darkstone song and it'll be in your head for a month.

Overall, if you like this sort of game and don't feel like you need to be over-powered by graphics and gore, this is a great choice.

I like the gameplay of Darkstone a lot, even though it can get a bit repetitive after level 100 the randomness makes it super replayable.

Definitely recommend it!

This is a very good game back in the day before the first person shoot em' took over.
