All in all, Tactics is a mixed-bag. If it weren't for the horrible way in which you have to find critical information, I'd happily recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in tactical combat games. If you happen to be a hardcore 3.5 maniac then you'll probably get the most out of this game, but then again, if you're that hardcore, you'll no doubt focus on what's missing instead of the impressive amount of stuff that's actually there. Despite it all, D&D: Tactics lays the foundation for a sequel that will hopefully fix what's broken and finally deliver a unified experience that perfectly marries hundreds of pages of rules with an interface that is capable of handling all that information.
Followed by Deeko with an overall score of 6.5/10:
All in all, I felt this game lived up to my expectations in all aspects except for the difficulty in the party management menus and the overall storyline. Honestly, the lack of basic plot elements early on was the biggest letdown of all. Seeing as the source material requires a great story to allow your imagination the ability to create an incredible world in your mind's eye, this story never comes off the screen and takes shape, and in turn diminishes the value of everything impressive in the game.
