Hordes of the Underdark Review at GameZone

GameZone have posted a review of the Hordes of the Underdark Expansion. The overall score is 8.6. Here's a snip:

The game itself centers around - well below - the town of Waterdeep. Beneath the city lies the Underdark, a vast underground territory with an army that has gathered to lay siege to the town above. As an adventurer that has worked through the terrors of deception in the original tale, or braved the Plane of Shadows in Undrentide, you have arrived and are tasked with working through to the core of the problem and saving Waterdeep.

As mentioned, this is not a light undertaking. Players will find the road quite hazardous, and rife with new monsters to battle. There are some old friends along the way, such as the halfling thief, Tomi, or the strong warrior Daelan.

The game play is immersive, and for those who have ventured forth before in this fantastic realm, you will find this a real treat.

The sound and graphics are much the same as in previous incarnations of the game, though some new character portraits have been added.
