The game is a dungeon crawl, with focus on hack and slash combat and exploration of large dungeons. Story progression and interaction with other characters is a minimal part of the game, although there is some interaction with NPCs and other in-game characters.
The story is set in the city of New Phlan. A dracolich and his sorceress queen have seized control of the Mythal, the ancient magic that once protected the long abandoned elven city of Myth Drannor. Once the elven ruin is completely in their thrall, the cult intends to expand its domination one city—and one soul—at a time. Four heroes are sent to Myth Drannor by Elminster to stop the dracolich and the sorcerer queen from using the power of the Mythal to conquer Faerûn. They must travel to all areas of Myth Drannor, from the dungeons below the city, to the city itself, the catacombs beneath the city, et al., in an attempt to stop evil from taking over the region.

It's a soft not-recommend. Pool of Radiance 2.0 was a great D&D game in its day. But this, much like the Temple of Elemental Evil Steam re-release, is a lame, low-effort affair, it just gives you the same experience as playing the original. There's very little here you couldn't get running the abandonware on DOSBox. Yes, the graphics can now handle HD, but they aren't remastered, just stretched out. Spreading the same amount of marmalade over a bigger piece of toast doesn't give you more marmalade. It just makes each bite less flavorful. As such, the primitive graphics (ironically cutting edge at the time) look even more crude due to the higher resolution. Then there's the interface, it wasn't streamlined and its still very clunky and unintuitive. There's no tutorial to be found and a lot of the useful class abilities and options are buried and unexplained. To be fair the game was al
I'm going to give this game a thumbs-up, but I feel the need to make a few things clear. This game is not for everyone. It's clunky, oddly paced, and plagued by questionable design choices. If it weren't for nostalgia, I honestly wouldn't consider €18 a reasonable price for the relatively few improvements that have been made. Don't get me wrong, there have been improvements: You can now see pathing. There's a somewhat functional quickbar for spells and actions. Rolls are now displayed, which actually makes finding hidden doors and similar secrets much easier. And, of course, the game runs smoothly on modern hardware and supports higher resolutions. But in my opinion, that's not nearly enough to justify the asking price. Still, I enjoy playing it just as much now as I did 25 years ago. Maybe I'm a masochist, but this game holds a special place in my heart. That said, let me be clear:
The main draw of third edition d&d was having extreme character customisation. This game managed to dump all the character customisation in the sea, but continue using the worst bits. Why can't I pick my spells? What happened to the wizard class? What is the point in intelligence if no class uses it and it doesn't affect skill points? As compensation for gutting character creation, you get a janky control system that's really badly explained. So that's nice. Bought, tried, uninstalled, immediate refund request. Heartily recommend you don't waste your time.
I'm 63. I played the original release back in the day. I forgot how unforgiving this game can be. First off, there is no difficulty adjustment. Couple that with the inability to save during combat and you find yourself reloading saved games most of the time. The thing is that the market doesn't have much to offer as a substitute.
At least this version doesn't nuke your hard drive
If you don't mind older games that can be a bit clunky and you are a fan of DnD this game is for you. If you give it a chance you'll get used to the clunkiness and things will be smoother. I can't stress enough save often because the way this game rolls dice makes you want crush your mouse there can be stretches of some horrible rolls. I own the original box set and I had fun playing it. Sadly I never finished because of the bugs. So far I've been enjoying myself and the game is running perfectly. If you like the Goldbox series you'll like this.
