Hordes of the Underdark Review at The Discworld
Posted Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 22:52 CET by chevalier

The Discworld have revied the Hordes of the Underdark expansion to Neverwinter Nights and given it a score of 85%. Here's an excerpt:

By having access to all the best stuff immediately the game becomes more exciting as you feel more able to take on more challenging opponents straight away. The campaign is also more of an interest than in SOU and moves along at a pace whilst also having some rather juicy cut-scenes thrown in for good measure. The story revolves around you being tasked with journeying into the deepest parts of Undermountain in search of the Drow, a dark race of elves hell-bent on causing havoc.

You’re now allowed up to two henchmen which gives the game more of a party feel to it than before and although their animation is rather bland (and they do have an irritating tendency to get stuck behind things) they are overall more talkative and interesting than in previous incarnations of the game.
