It is 2007, and Dungeons and Dragons - in one form or another - has been entertaining fans for over 30 years, and now for the first time, the franchise comes to Sony's PSP. This means being able to play D&D anytime and anywhere, alone or with friends. There have, of course, been a few deviations to the rules in order to allow the game to work optimally on the PSP. But fear not, D&D veterans: all changes made to the rule-set were made with the utmost care and under the guidance of the creators of Dungeons and Dragons. For those new to the D&D universe, a deep, deep world of adventure and action awaits - one based on the D&D 3.5 rule-set - but only after an introductory tutorial.
The turn-based action takes place in a variety of dangerous environments as your party of six adventurers set out on their adventure. Throughout the game, you will be charged with selecting adventures, and when setting out on this adventure, you will be asked to create a party from your player character and available companions. You can have up to 11 companions, but just no more than six may participate in any one adventure.
All adventures take place in the eastern border reaches of the Lindesi, a collection of kingdoms held together by a human High-King far to the West. The Vinsaxi Tribe are a wild border people organised into clans, and they inhabit the hills and highlands where the story begins. And at this point, we shall tell you no more, as any more information could be interpreted as a spoiler. Suffice to say, Dungeons and Dragons Tactics is an essential purchase for the PSP-owning D&D fan.
