The game seems to be a Diablo-style hack-and-slash action RPG, which would be welcome news for gamers who loved the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance games, which were also Diablo-style games based on D&D.
According to the press release, ”Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale centers on the desperate struggle to defeat the evil Rezlus and his Zhentarim in their attempt to invade and conquer the Dalelands. Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale is an engaging multi-player experience that introduces a riveting narrative and treacherous new characters. Players are charged with the task of restoring order to Nentir Vale by unlocking the secrets of the Mines of Tethyamar, defeating the evil within the treacherous Tower of the Void, leading to the final confrontation with Rezlus himself.”
