Dungeons! A lot of gamers dream about exploring dungeons. Other gamers love nothing but exploring dungeons. Dungeon Lords should give dungeon fans everywhere an opportunity to try out another fantasy RPG game. The developers at E3 were showing off an early version of the game and from the early demo gamers have a lot to look forward to this year. The development team behind Dungeon Lord is composed of vetern RPG designers that have worked on other big name RPGs. In fact the developers have previously worked on the Wizardy series, so the game is in good hands.

The gameplay is a combat RPG game with real time combat. This isn’t just a hack and slash where you click on a monster to let the computer perform the attacks. You have full control over the combat. The developers were using the mouse and keyboard to attack and guard during the demo. The developer was fighting two goblins in what appeared to be inside of a house. The developer was able to block the goblins attack which would lead to an opening in the goblins attack.

The developers mentioned that the game will contain up to eight races with control over the development of the character. There will be multiple character classes available within the game as well. Also, there will be four different schools of magic available within the game for gamers. The game even features a pause option during combat that allows you to make adjustments to your character during combat. It was funny looking at the goblins while the developer had the game paused. It appeared that the goblins and hero were talking smack to each other while the game was paused.

The game is presented in a 3^rd person perspective with all of the graphics being extremely detailed. The textures of the character models looked great and all of the characters on the demo looked fantastic. The developers did mention that there will be a multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode will be composed of a cooperative play during the single player missions. The developers talked about including a Player Vs Player option as well.

Right now Dungeon Lords is shaping up to be a fantastic RPG game. The great graphics and real time combat were excellent in the E3 demo. The track history of the development team is a great asset to the success of the game as well. Look for the game later this year.
