If you love folklore and the enchantment of a life filled with creatures of different realms, then you have surely tried your hand at the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) tabletop role-playing game.
The popularity of Dungeons and Dragons comes from the excitement of play and the characters you encounter. Because of its popularity, video game developers from around the world have attempted to create similar games.
Since there are plenty of games in this mold, it might be difficult to figure out which ones deserve your time. Up next we're going to tell you about video games like Dungeons and Dragons that you'll want to check out.
Dungeons and Dragons Online
If you are looking for a video game that looks like D&D, why not just check out the online version of the game itself? The rules are pretty much the same as the board version. You have an adaptation of the D&D 3.5 rule book blended in.
The developer is also looking to update the game constantly to give players a better experience. If you have a look at the game from the first version to the current model, you’ll notice a significant change.
And you can have the experience on Windows and specific Xbox consoles, and you can download it for your PC via the Steam store. The other reason why you need to play this online version is that you get it as a free-to-play model.Â
This free-to-play gives you a wide variety of options, and you only commit to it after you have experienced gameplay. And most of the transactions you make here are normally just the in-game transactions, so it won't be too heavy on your wallet.
Divinity: Original Sin (& Original Sin II)
Another game that gives you the Dungeons and Dragons feel is this game that was originally owned by Larian Studios. From the first move you make with this game, you will see that it takes its cues from classical Dungeons and Dragons.
It also has some relation to an RPG like Baldur’s Gate, making it a mix of action, thrill, and drama. You can also switch to multiplayer quite smoothly when you are in this game. The multiplayer functions allow you to play side by side with the other player seamlessly.
The main aim of the game is that you have to root out some sort of dangerous magic that threatens the existence of the world. You, as the player (or players when you’re on multiplayer), will take the roles of Source Hunters.
These are members of a guild whose main aim is to get to the root of the magic. You can download both Original Sin and Original Sin II for PC play via the Steam store.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (& KOTOR II)
If you are looking for a game that will keep you hooked to the screen throughout the gameplay you have the right game here. This is more Dungeons and Dragons blended and set up in the world of Star Wars.
You have to have a close eye on the rules here, however, as they don’t mirror the ones you’re used to with Dungeons and Dragons.
Star Wars star Revan takes you on a Dungeons and Dragons adventure in a Star Wars universe.
You can download this game for mobile play via the Google Play Store.
