About

The druids of the Menhir Forest are troubled. Not only has the Archdruid disappeared, a darkness in the form of purple cysts has fallen upon the forest. It is up to Aava, the daughter of the Archdruid and her new-found companions Leonhard, a mysterious man with no past, and Oiko the mage, a dropout from the guild of Red Priests, to rescue the Archdruid and find out the truth behind the sinister events. As if this wasn't enough, a murderous maniac impersonating Leonhard is at loose in the forest....

Druidstone is a perfect entry point for RPG fans that are interested in this style of tactical game without having to invest several dozens of hours in a longer experience that they may not enjoy. It doesn't offer a lot in terms of unique themes or robust storytelling, but it's balanced out by an impressive variety of encounter designs and flexibility for different playstyles. On top of these strengths, it also offers some surprisingly good musical scores and environmental art. It's a strong overall package that, while brief, was a joy to play through.

Der Fantasystil mischt auf charmante Art sowohl das Epische westlicher als auch das Putzige fernöstlicher Tradition. Zwar kann die Story in Ansätzen neugierig machen, aber die vielen Textdialoge ermüden auf Dauer und es gibt keine deutsche Lokalisierung. Level- und Missionsdesign sind jedoch richtig gut, zumal nicht das Vernichten aller Feinde, sondern eher das Knobeln für das Erledigen der Ziele im Vordergrund steht - das erinnert entfernt an .

Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest è un buono strategico a turni, decisamente più leggero dei mostri sacri del genere e purtroppo con pochi elementi che riescono davvero a distinguerlo. Diciamo che a conti fatti è un passatempo che non si rimpiange, ma che viene un po' penalizzato da uno scenario non proprio originale e da un sistema di gioco che funziona, ma che a tratti è fin troppo semplificato per esaltare.
