Earns a Respectable 8/10



Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach (DDO) will probably be
reviewed until the day it is pulled off the shelf and today is no
different. Internode Games Network Reviews has taken a closer look at
our favorite game:

The gameplay provided by Stormreach is relatively
free-flowing and
normally full of action. When not killing bad guys or casting spells,
you're smashing open crates for loot, searching for a hidden surprise
or trying to swim your way through an underwater sewer to get to the
next area. The combat system is fairly simple and straightforward
although learning some of the skills such as ranged attacks and
targeting spells can take slightly longer than your average
hack'n'slash game. The default HUD contains one bar for 10 quick-slots
(holds your spells and special actions) but you can add quick-slot bars
to cater for all your range of spells if you're a spell-casting type.
Personally I found the control interface a little awkward for trying to
easily switch between your quick slot bars to get the right spell but I
guess it doesn't really matter if you accidentally cast a shroud of
darkness on your party instead of a healing spell ... does it? The only
other criticism of the interface is that there is no easy way to tell
the amount of health a player has without targeting them which makes
playing a Cleric or other healer type just that little bit more
difficult.
