Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics Preview at Pocket Gamer

[chevalier]

Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics has shipped, but there's still a preview, rather than review, to read at Pocket Gamer. Here's a snip:

The main menu opens with six options. Quickstart is self-explanatory (and given the limited time we had with the UMD it's the one we opted for – but more on that later) and is followed by the character generation section. Here, you get to select and tweak the human, dwarf, elf, gnome, half-elf, Halfling and half-orc of your choice before venturing into quests.

Before you do that, we'd strongly suggest working through the tutorials, which detail the mechanics of action, melee and ranged combat, as well as magic. It's a detour from getting into the game, but a vital one given that most are likely to find the battle menu system interface, for instance, a little on the laborious and confusing side.
