Dungeons & Dragons Heroes – Retro Reflections

Chalgyr's Game Room writes:

A friend of mine said games should preferably have sword fighting, magic and brave heroes who risk their lives for a higher purpose. “D&D Heroes” fits that description and if you have played an action role playing game you already know its basic characteristics: plenty of monsters to kill, lot of treasure to collect and many skills to upgrade in a setting which brings Lord of the Rings to mind. As for the story, it is as basic as possible: four noble heroes must save a medieval kingdom from a powerful villain and to accomplish this feat they must explore distant, strange lands and acquire objects of arcane properties.
