Reception

[edit | edit source]

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara was positively received by critics. Review aggregating website Metacritic gave the PC version 80/100,[4] the PlayStation 3 version 83/100,[5] and the Xbox 360 version 77/100.[7] Reviewing the Xbox 360 version, Rob Kershaw at The Digital Fix gave the game 8/10 noting that while the graphics and music have become dated since the original arcade releases in the 1990s, the port was faithful to the source and the development team had added plenty of extras to increase the game's longevity.[8] Erik Kain of Forbes gave a favorable review and opined that it plays a bit like Double Dragon, Ninja Turtles games, and other classic NES/SEGA side-scrolling brawlers.[9]
