LGR - Descent To Undermountain - DOS PC Game Review

Awesome! I'll be looking forward to it. Thanks for listening to your fans. We really appreciate it.

I am hoping to cover one or two of them, yes!

Great review. It's good to see you review these very ambitious games that either falied or succeeded. Idk if you're familiar with the might and magic series, but those are some games that you can possibly review in the future. Heck, possibly a retrospective if you've played them all. Just some suggestions. Either way, great job once again.

Wow. The -title screen- has models in a default pose. Around 9:23 the skeleton does the same thing when it's moving. I feel really bad for the developers who were involved with this. It's so obvious they had high hopes for it, but the financial situation and executive bungeling at Interplay meant it was shoved out the door way before it was fully baked. At the same time, though, the development took way longer than Interplay expected, so it sort of makes sense in a really sad kind of way.

Oh! If you do check it out and run it on Windows 8, make sure to set the executable file into compatibility mode for Windows 7. Dunno why but I'm finding I have to do this now with recent games using the Unity Engine to prevent weird stuttering from happening. :/

Wise choice there, younger Kris. Sweet, will have to check that out!

When I first saw the advertising for this game in a PC Gamer magazine as a kid, it set off all kinds of alarms in my brain... Very glad I listened to said alarms after seeing it now for my first time ever. :B Coincidentally, I just started playing a similar indie game on Steam called "Ziggurat" which is about a MILLION times better. Go check it out and cleanse your palette of this atrocity! ;)

I never cared for this type of game. Witch stats do I update and what do they do for me? I did not play games of this type using the board cards and the dice either.

I thought I screwed something in my computer because it was crashing randomly. Good to know. :P

Well yeah okay if most people asked for it there is really not much I can do about it except hoping that they will put some option in that I can choose between 30 and 60 fps. If I had a faster connection (or if it would be at least fast every time on the day and not slown down by who knows what?) I wouldn't bother at all about it. At least most of your videogames can also be watched in 480p just as fine. Come to think about it where is 576p?

Because YouTube accepts 60fps videos now and it's an notable improvement! I've always recorded in 60fps (since that's what these games play at and my camera records at) and it's only now that the uploads have started showing up that way. Smoother video, faster movement, and tons of people have been asking for it for years, both on my channel and others. It's here to stay, I'm sorry if you don't like it! And no, I can't choose what individual resolutions get 60fps, that's automatically done by YouTube.

LGR

The music is quite good in the game indeed!

LGR

A tale as old as time. Or at least the 80's.

LGR

at least the song at the end was good :)

Why do you do 60p videos? It is hard enough to get HD but than 60p!. It doesn't even change that much, at least for this genre of games. Sorry dude but it sucks. Is there any way you could at least make 720p ist 30 frames instead of 60?

Ezydenias

Jesus Christ. This is what happens when the wants of publishers get in the way of the wants of the developer.
