![]() ![]() Turn-based tactical gameplay is tends to offer plenty of options for players, easily tiptoeing from fun to frustrating if too much is going on at once. While in battle, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos keeps a hefty amount of information organized in an easy to use manner. Finally, use “Q” and “E” to manipulate the camera angles and the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. You can also use WASD keys to move around in this section of gameplay, but I don’t recommend it, as the characters seem to stop responding to the keys for some reason, making for some clunky stop and go. ![]() Keep a finger on the “tab” button and you’ll be able to see any interactable items, such as levels, doors, and treasure chests. The controls in The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos are pretty simple: while exploring, click any character you’d like to have lead the party, then keep the right click down as you lead them around the dungeon. ![]() Each side quest, while rewarding, definitely causes the party to lose a bit of focus, but after experience and gold is gained they’re back on track to find the statuette. Additionally, there are plenty of people within the dungeon that seem to need our heroes’ help, such as chasing chickens and cheese wheels. You see, nothing is very straightforward for our adventurers in The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos - they just want to get this statuette, but there’s this amulet that seems to stick to them like a thorn in their side, causing a lot of distracting chaos (hence the name and all). By traipsing around all levels of the dungeon and encountering both friend and foe alike, our heroes will attempt to complete their quest and obtain their promised reward - keyword: attempt. A standard Ranger, an oafish Barbarian, a dumb-blonde Elf, a bookish Wizardess, a straightforward Ogre, a cowardly Thief, and a stereotypical Dwarf get the party started with an option to add on a by-the-book Paladin, a snooty Priestess, or a goofy Minstrel later on (or none of them, it’s your campaign, you do you). Of course, it’s dangerous to go alone, so teaming up with a variety of different classes will make for a balanced adventuring party. The premise is simple - a ragtag group of adventurers has been asked to venture into the Dungeon of Naheulbeuk to obtain the statuette of Gladeulfeurha. Based off the beloved French audioseries Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk, the game literally takes a page from Pen of Chaos’ first chapter - which, actually, is great for non-French speakers, considering this is the first time it’s been translated. Although it’s not true Dungeons and Dragons, it draws plenty of inspiration from the classes, races, terms, and standard quests and sidequests that one might get wrapped up in during a campaign. So when The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos came across the ol’ review inbox, I legitimately jumped at the chance to play it. That’s what I wistfully tell the dice collecting dust on my bookshelf, at least. Of course, with the way 2020 has been panning out it’s been more of a waiting game than anything, but I still swear I’ll get to it one day. I finally got my chance to play after my work organized a one-shot campaign between the small handful of us, and it was so much fun I’ve been threatening to join a group ever since. I have been dying to play Dungeons and Dragons for the past couple years ever since I heard of the flexibility of story-crafting behind it. This DnD-inspired title definitely passes all fun checks! ![]()
