Forgotten realms: Demon Stone Overview
Developed by Stormfront Studios and written by R.A. Salvatore, Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone sounds like an RPG-lovers dream! While there have been plenty of D&D-based video games in the past, Demon Stone is a little different, placing you in command of a party of three heroes on an adventure to rid the land of two evil warlords. Is different good? Well, that’s up to the gamer. However, Demon Stone ends up playing out more like EA’s The Two Towers than it does other D&D games.

Freedom Force includes over ten different and unique superheroes for use in battles against powerful and mysterious supervillains in multiplayer or in the 20+ scenario campaign included with the game.

Players will watch a cut scene, prepare their mecha for battle, and then enter the tactics style missions. As players complete missions on the world map more will pop up until they beat the game. Although the combat is very similar to the other Front Mission games players are now able to attack the pilots of the mecha themselves.

This game has a lot to offer fans of the strategy role playing game genre, but leaves a lot to be desired for new players.
