GameZone has posted a review of Troika's AD&D-based fantasy RPG 'The Temple of Elemental Evil'. Rating: 8.4 out of 10 points.
Here's a snip:You can create a party of up to five adventures, which may all be pre-selected at the start, or you can hire NPCs to accompany you along the way. If you choose the latter, you will be expected to pay them through spoils gathered in the adventure. Further, they are true to their characters and their actions can alter the way your party is perceived. In total, you can create a party of five adventures and hire up to three NPCs.
Like all D&D-based games, you are expected to find an alignment for your central character and party. The alignment is broken down into good, neutral and evil, and you can go from lawful to chaotic within those categories. A nice touch is that if, while forming your party, you choose chaotic good, the only members you can add to your party must also be chaotic good. |
