ENGLISH REVIEW:

Dnd is a game about four friends mistakenly summoned in a world of magic and believed
to be heroes. In reality they're a bunch of nerds trying to return to their homes while they
enjoy a wonderful adventure in a fantasy land filled with treasures, castles, dragons, orcs,
elves and... Santa Claus.

The first thing I thought about Doom and Destiny was "here's another rpg maker game that
is trying to be a parody of other famous rpgs like final fantasy"... And I was right, the
game is just this, but done well... very well.

The humor is very captivating and the jokes will make you laugh in more than one occasion. And don't think the story doesn't take itself seriously at all, because it does, delivering a fascinating story without "plot holes" even though it's a parody.

I dare to say Doom and Destiny is a perfect blend of storytelling and great humor, with a gameplay on par with titles from the final fantasy series and the possibility of exploring the world, which is something that similar games don't do anymore. And secrets, lots of secrets scattered through the map and in the numerous locations of the game.

Also the game has 3 difficulty settings so it can be played by everyone.

Both the music and the graphics are licensed contents, they weren't made by the developers but bought from third parties and put into the game. I don't consider this a real flaw, but I know some people stay away from games with rpg maker graphics because they think they're not worth it... Well, if you can get over the fact that the graphics is standard rpg maker, I assure you'll find a real gem.

If you played "the Bridge", a very good puzzle game here on Steam, you'll notice that the game opening music is the same of Doom and Destiny, but does this make The Bridge a bad game only because they share the same opening song? no, so don't be discouraged by these things someone could call "flaws" and give this game a chance. You'll not regret it.


RECENSIONE ITA:

Dnd è un gioco che racconta di quattro amici evocati per sbaglio in una terra magica e scambiati per eroi. In realtà sono quattro nerdacci della peggior specie che cercano un modo per tornare a casa, ma non prima di essersi gustati una fantastica avventura in un mondo pieno di tesori, castelli, draghi, orchi, elfi e... Babbo Natale.

La prima cosa che ho pensato di Dnd è stata "ecco un altro gioco fatto con Rpg Maker che cerca di fare la parodia di altri famosi rpg come Final Fantasy"... e avevo ragione, il gioco è essenzialmente questo, ma fatto bene... davvero bene.

L'humor è accattivante e le battute ti faranno ridere in più di un'occasione. E non pensiate che la storia non si prende sul serio nemmeno un po', perché lo fa, regalando una trama affascinante senza "plot holes", e questo è già tanto essendo una parodia.

Mi permetto di affermare che Dnd è una perfetta miscela di storia e umorismo, con un gameplay al pari di titoli della serie Final Fantasy e la possibilità di esplorare il mondo di gioco, qualcosa che non si vede più tanto spesso in questo tipo di giochi... e segreti, tantissimi segreti sparsi per la mappa e nelle numerose aree del gioco. Inoltre il gioco ha 3 livelli di difficoltà, così da poter essere giocato da tutti.

Sia la musica che la grafica sono contenuti acquistati da terze parti e concesse dietro licenza. Personalmente non considero questo un vero difetto, ma so che molta gente si tiene alla larga dai giochi con grafica Rpg maker perchè pensa manchino di originalità... ebbene, se riuscirete a guardare oltre le grafiche di rpg maker vi assicuro che vi ritroverete di fronte ad una vera perla del genere ricolmo di originalità ed estro creativo.

Se avete giocato "The Bridge", un buon puzzle game qui su Steam, noterete che la musica di apertura è la stessa di Dnd, perché acquistata dallo stesso musicista; ma questo rende forse "The Bridge" un brutto gioco? non credo, quindi non fatevi scoraggiare da queste limitazioni del titolo e date una chance ad un grande gioco; non ve ne pentirete.

Probably the most enjoyable JRPG/RPGMaker game I've ever played since Earthbound on the SNES (Now that's dating myself).

The gameplay is solid, controller support is excellent, good story, excellent use of humor and cameo's. I don't think I've ever laughed and groaned so much in any of these types of games before. It really draws you in with the excellent writing.

I know that's a lot of excellents, but that's pretty much the best way to describe this game. It's definitely a worthy addition to any turn-based JRPG fan's library, and am very happy to hear that there is a sequel in the works, because this game and its characters definitely deserve one.

Cancel that, it's not just a worthy addition to any JRPG library, it's a must have.

I finished the game on the Android version, I just started playing it on the PC, and I already regret it,

because it will suck me in again and make me lose preciuos life time.

The game plays like a traditional RPG with some smart twists, and the main selling point is the story, compelling and full of good humor and countless jokes on pop culture tropes. Maybe, just maybe it gets a litte worse in the very last part, but as a whole it is great.

The characters are all funny and interesting, except Nigel: everybody hates Nigel.

As a quick note on Gameplay: I usually don't like JRPG " à la" Final Fantasy. I hate mindless turn combat and really, really hate random encounters and grinding, but this game was a nice change of pace: the initiative management and the aggro system make everything more interesting, and the "speed-up" button is a blessing to quickly resolve easy random encounter when you backtrack to older part of the map.

Recommended!

Ok i am 40yrs old, and this is just making me feel like a teen again! Thanks Doom n Destiny! Good times worth the $8

It doesn't suck.

I waited a long time for this game pass the greenlight and it's worth every penny
Looking for nostalgic simple RPG? here's your choice

The story is great, dialog is fun to read, and is the first time in a very long time where i stopped to talk to everyone. The story is the best part of the game.

Combat is decent, and plenty of challanging battles, but I got tired of it while grinding levels for gold and levels to be able to handle the big bosses.

If you don't like grinding, don't go for 100% achievements, it takes hours of just killing to get the gold you need, and without a guide, forever to find everything after you beat the game.

This game is amazing...a great little gem...
an old-school RPG full of twists, parodies, and wacky dialogues combined with a well-structured gameplay.

previously played on Android and now started to play on PC

absolutely recommended
try it

10/10

This is ridulously funny!! Reminds me of the comments I used to say to myself when playing games... I wonder why everyone was okay with me taking things from their houses... And the pets!! LMAO did no see that one coming :D

Gameplay is a little rough around the edges, the artwork is amusing, and the humor is spot on. The music isn't particularly good. It's a decent start, but games like this always ramp up in entertainment as you progress through the game, so this is worth the price.

This game is great. I feel like im playing oldschool finalfantasylegends on my spinach-screen gameboy. . This game is a total throwback. Best part? the colours are stunning, and the art . . The art is fantastic and super polished. Great sense of humor went into this game too. Its awfully grindy tho, if you're not into that sort of thing..I played a lot of pokemon too so this suits me fine. . but it may annoy you. This really shows off what rpgmaker can do with a few clever minds behind the wheel. I cannot say enough good things about this if you're looking for a new rpg to try. The controller support is solid, the story is hilarious. I'm hooked and I just started

This game is amazing on soooo many levels

First game I've played that asks you to rate it mid game and give the option to do so, had quite a few good laughs and I've only just started.

great old school feel

Tickles the inner nerd.

I spend a great many hours playing the DRM free version of this game before it was on Steam.

D&D is a classic RPG with lots (!) of tropes/references to gaming, pen&paper RPG, literature build into it. If you enjoyed any digital or analogue RPG before you have to play D&D.

Great game, the Dev's fixed a bug i was having very quickly, which made me happy, definitely recommend getting!

Its got some funny lines from other games and movies. Good game

BUY THIS GAME! THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED! EVEN MY NON GAMER WIFE LIKES IT!

This reminds me of how much fun I had playing Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy for the first time. It's just as good.
