The top of the screen gives you a turn tracker or each round in order to plan movements. There is a starting area marked out and characters can be positioned however you like.
Before you engage in combat, you are able to, and encouraged, to manoeuver your characters and take the time to prepare before the battle. Each quest has as part of it, a battle sequence. Attack! Combat is challengingĮngaging in combat is, obviously, a huge part of the game here. These are teamed up with a Dwarf, Elf, Ogre, Wizardess and Barbarian. Whereas the thief comes across as a philosophical coward. The ranger is a “loveable rogue” for example. Each character is named simply by their race or class and each has their own stereotypical tropes in which to fill. To keep you entertained as you go, your party regularly talks to both each other, and breaking the 4th wall if you leave the game idle long enough. The goal is usually to defeat all your opponents whilst reducing your own casualties. They can also sprint, thereby giving up their action or, later on, unlock the ability to gain additional actions. Each character has one movement and one action per turn. The battle area is divided into grids, with each character having a set number of squares they can traverse. The second main mechanic is the combat, which is very typical of a Strategy RPG. Some are short and sweet, others are in multiple parts and create their own miniature story arc. These are either part of the main quest, or one of many side quests to complete. One of the first places you will discover is the tavern, yes a dungeon with it’s own tavern, you don’t find that in Phandelver! As you unlock more and more rooms you uncover more loot and quests for your party to complete. With multiple floors to explore, this is certainly no ordinary dungeon. The majority of the game is best described as a dungeon crawling RPG. On the way, you gather allies, members go missing, allies becomes foes and you develop an unhealthy obsession with chickens… Roll for Initiative Turns out the party has been cursed by the talisman and as such the band of misfits decide it best to probably remove the curse, whilst also looking for that statuette. The amulet, the aforementioned amulet of chaos, causes all sorts of trouble to befall our rag tag group of adventurers. As you delve deeper and deeper into his addictive game, clearly rigged against you, you end up with the special prize of an amulet. During the course of this adventure your party come across a mischievous goblin and his wheel of misfortune. You enter a dungeon on the request of a wealthy patron in order to retrieve a statuette. The premise of Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is relatively simple. You Arrive in a Dungeon… Onward adventurers! So, Adventurer! Are you ready to delve into the dungeon? Stocked up on health potions? Vorpal blade unsheathed and Hylian Shield out ready for the threats ahead? Then let us descend into the Dungeon of Naheulbeuk.
#THE DUNGEON OF NAHEULBEUK THE AMULET OF CHAOS SWITCH SERIES#
Originally an audio drama called Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk in 2001, the series has grown to include comic books, novels and now finally, video games. The great thing about this game is that it is based on an already existing IP. Getting the chance to review The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos, a Strategy based RPG, combines my love for Dungeons and Dragons with tactics based combat. But they have quickly become a firm favourite, to the point I finally can (but try not to) admit I own a “Rabbids” game. Strategy RPGs are a relatively new obsession of mine.
