D&D: Daggerdale Gets To The Fighting
The most exciting news in the last 24 hours has nothing to do with PC games. And yet it still feels like it does. HBO have revealed the first fifteen minutes of their adaptation of George R. R. Martin's Song Of Ice & Fire series, in the form of Game Of Thrones. And it looks utterly flipping excellent. (Warning: the clip stops before showing tiny wolf cubs. Boo.)
What has that to do with Atari and Bedlam's Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale? Almost nothing, other than the word "Daggerdale" awakens the same dying flame of my interest in the fantasy genre as "Winterfell". It makes me want to read the books my dad would leave by the toilet when I was a kid. But the game? It's the up-to-four-player co-op action RPG that Quintin lamented not seeing enough combat for last year. Well, now there's a trailer entirely dedicated to fighting.
Oh good grief, those walking animations. Please don't let those be final. The D&D licensed game is due this Summer, so there's still plenty of time to apply what I think will be quite a lot of cosmetic improvement. Bewilderingly, there still don't appear to be any screenshots available. In the meantime, Game Of Thrones starts in the United American States on the 19th April.
