New D&D: Tactics details unearthed [Update 1]

New D&D: Tactics details unearthed


Those lucky cats at IGN got their hands on an alpha build of Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics. While we know the game, which is developed by Kuji Kuju Entertainment and is published by Atari, will include the 3.5 rule set and will feature more than 200 unique spells and 650 items, IGN has uncovered even more details:

  • You can have up to six members in your party;

  • All the core races and classes are present;

  • Two new psionic classes - pychic warrior and psion;

  • Primary character's alignment effects storyline and game's missions;

  • 41 different quests in the game;

  • The game should last between 30-40 hours;

  • Chess Mode allows players to fight through the game without watching battle animations, making the game move along quickly;

  • All planned downloadable content was finished early and is now included on the UMD; and

  • The game supports six-player co-op and four-player versus modes via ad-hoc.

The inclusion of the Chess Mode is a great idea and should make the game even more portable friendly. And I appreciate Kuji Kuju including co-op and versus modes in the game, but am I the only one who wants to see some infrastructure action? I mean who even has six friends these days?

[Update 1: GameSpot has the trailer available for download. And it's Kuju, not Kuji, Chris.]
