Record of Lodoss War - Sega Dreamcast

Record of Lodoss War is based on the anime series with the game takes place some time after the story in the series. Players control a mysterious hero who has been resurrected from the dead in order to fight evil. The game is played from an isometric perspective, and controlling the hero is simplicity itself. A quick-access menu of all-important healing items is quick and easy to get to, although players can still open up a main display screen to play with stats and equip weapons and armor. The sheer amount of variety when it comes to weapons and armor should be mentioned here. Players eventually get the chance to work with Artefacts inscriptions they can put on weapons to improve their abilities. With enough patience and foresight, players can create some of the most deadly weapons ever seen in a role-playing game of this type. Throughout the game the storyline unfolds, and as players begin to realize who they are and what they're up against, the epic plot become more and more engrossing. A nicely done Diablo clone, which means that it takes all the good bits and adds quite a few twists to make an entertaining romp through some diverse dungeons.
