Dungeons & Dragons has been going for 41 years, a testament to the sheer depth of storytelling the game offers and little, if anything, represents this more than the Forgotten Realms universe and the video games that have been set in it. Following on from true legendary predecessors like the Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights and the Icewind Dale games, can Sword Coast Legends meet the standards that have come before?
Take a party of four through the Forgotten Realms of D&D. Try and figure out why your guild is under attack in this fantasy RPG from n-Space out now on PS4, XBox One, PC, Mac and Linux.

We here at Chalgyr's Game Room are pretty big fans of roleplaying games; those could be instant classics like Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, obscure indies like Last Dream, punishing AAA titles like Dark Souls III, or the godfather of roleplaying ... Dungeons & Dragons. We love them all so when a developer takes a few of the things that we love in our roleplaying games and squeezes them into one working package, we tend to get excited. Enter Sword Coast Legends; originally released on the PC back in 2015, the dungeon-mastering-tool-with-so me-campaigns-premade is now available on the PlayStation 4 and we are all the better for it.
The Sword Coast faces many unseen adversities ahead. Band together with friends, or take the coast by storm with your AI-controlled companions, and make new folktales of legends in the realm. With an in-depth character customization and multiple game modes to play, the game offers interesting options for many RPG fans. Everything you need to know about this game can be found right here!
Disappointing game, and this comes from a huge D&D fan.
I don't think this game was really trying to live up to those other D&D games. The main point seems to be the Dungeon Master mode, but the set of tools given for that purpose don't seem powerful enough to make distinctive campaigns. I'm still tempted to buy it for the DM thing though.
