Like many previous Forgotten Realms games, Demon Stone is primarily a linear dungeon crawl. Your characters follow a predetermined path level by level, destroying monsters, finding treasure, and leveling up. As your characters become more powerful, they gain new powers and abilities to aid them in their battles against evil. In Demon Stone, however, they are given a new weapon.interactive environments. Ladders filled with enemies can be thrown down, crushing those formerly climbing it. Rope bridges can be cut, spilling enemies into the abyss below. Catapults can be loaded and fired. If you knock a foe into a churning water mill, he will be promptly minced into ground orc burger. The combat system has also been updated as well.victory will not be won by relentless button mashing.

This encourages the player to become comfortable with the ebb and flow of combat itself, as opposed to just pressing '˜attack' as rapidly as possible.
