For me:
-
Shadow Over Mystara
-
Pool Of Radiance
-
Neverwinter Nights
SOM is my favorite arcade game of all time as well as beat 'em up, the cherry on top is that it’s a D&D game. Does it follow the rules and mechanics of the game? Hell no, but it’s fun in that it’s the soul of the game mixed with fighting game mechanics.
Pool Of Radiance is the only Gold Box game I’ve beat so far. It’s primitive but it really does the rules and campaign of AD&D justice. Best to play it with the Gold Box Companion that maps the game for you.
NWN is great since it’s 3D D&D while like POR it sticks to the rules of 3.5 D&D. Plus it allows you to make your own campaign if you wish or play fan made ones (some of which are really good and outshine Bioware’s own).
in no particular order
D&D Heroes! It wasn’t the deepest game but it was 4 player coop on the XBox and I played the crap out of it with my friends.
Baldur’s Gate 3 because it’s my favorite version of that type of game so far and I’ve been playin’ em since the Gold Box days.
Bard’s Tale baby. Maybe not strictly a D&D game but we all know that it’s a D&D game. I never bought this but I rented it about a zillion times in order to beat it back when that was a thing, lmao.
From what I’ve seen this game looks hard. Are you talking about the NES version?
