Prepare for an RTS of superior gameplay and artistry. Dungeons and Dragons: Dragonshard takes you into a realmof mythic armies and ancient technologies. In the popular D&D setting of Eberron, three desperate factions fight the ultimate war -- not just across the land, but also beneath it. Take your warriors below-ground and make decisions that will affect the strategies used above. Will you deliver the world into the light - or bury it deep within the shadows?

Rating:  - "Short but enjoyable"
Dragonshard turned out to be a rather short but enjoyable RTS, with graphics similar to Warcraft III, there's already a cool background for the world if you've read the Eberron fantasy books. Though even if you're not familiar with the world of Eberron it doesn't hinder enjoyment of the game, since a few of the more interesting facts of the world you learn throughout the game, usually via load screens.
One of the parts I liked the most was the well integrated underdark. Throughout each ... Read More
Rating:  - We hardly knew you...
I was really excited to play this game. Imagine a realtime experience in the D&D world. I couldnt wait to get it on my pc and start playing for months, right? Wrong! I had all the required specifications on my pc, the game loaded just fine but, it will not launch. Woe is me... No fun at all. Back to Neverwinter Nights for its endless expansions and flawless plotlines. Eberron just doesnt feel right after this!
Rating:  - Great game, but...
I love the game and the gameplay, but I haven't been able to get it running on all computers.
I had purchased 2 copies of this game and installed 1 on my computer and 1 on my son's computer.
It won't work on my son's computer at all.
But other than that... It's a great game. :)
Rating: - FROZEN IN TIME
Game is frozen most of the time. You get maybe 5 minutes of playtime per hour, the rest is spent waiting for game to unfreeze.
Rating: - Very innovative, ambitious game
It's always refreshing to see a game developer go out on a limb and try something new. Taking such chances has resulted in both great games and bad ones. However, Dragonshard is definitely a good game which nearly measures up to its ambition. It's a convincing mix of Dungeon & Dragons-style roleplaying and real-time strategy (RTS) base- and army-building. It's not a superb game, but it pulls off innovative concepts that distinguish it from all of the unimaginative, run-of-the-mill RTS and RPG ... Read More
