"Well there you have it folks: A totally incomplete dungeon crawler surrounded by more annoying moments than a 27 hour surveillance tape of Lucille Ball trapped in an elevator. With 10 patches this beta could be ready for a retail release, but we don't have 10 patches: This is it kids. I actually do have patch 1.1, released earlier this week (and even earlier to the press as Dreamcatcher tries to salvage the shreds of its reputation it thinks might still exist, but doesn't), but as any good journalist I refuse to include it in my assessment of this product, as it was not included in the box as a part of the product. Besides, I played for about 15 hours into the game before the patch came out, and I earned some serious rant time after all the crap I had to go through with this unfinished trashpile. I really do like Dungeon Lords underneath all the bugs, but I've got to dig so hard, so long, and so painfully to find the fun that snoozes so deep inside, it just isn't worth it.
The bottom line: Dungeon Lords is nowhere near done, and in a competitive world where release dates are not flexible for B-list products, game publishers have decided to save money for games like Dungeon Lords by forcing consumers to beta test a product which they then patch later, IF the consumers are lucky. Dreamcatcher's reputation is going, going, gone!"
Endure. In enduring, grow strong.
