within the realm of high fantasy, there are two connectors that you can always trust. It works alongside the JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons - the first of which remains grounded through a Victorian style travelogue level mundane details, and the last of which benefits from a voluminous world and detailed legend. Some years ago, a developer based in Northern California Stormfront Studios created an affordable, pleasant to merge high fantasy feel with visceral action in The Lord of the Rings type: The Two Towers, and now offers the same as Dungeons & Dragons world. Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone is a small evolutionary step above what Stormfront did with Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and players who believe that the brand of brute force hack-and-slash game you have to find an excellent appearance and pleasant, if somewhat familiar, experience.
A group of heroic characters that come in large missions is the cornerstone of the experience of D & D - and, ultimately, the entire class of high-fiction - and Demon Stone offers this staple on multiple levels. The story begins years ago when Lord Slaad Ygorl and Sereka General Githyanki, the evil of two powerful and destructive armies are fighting for the right to plunder the world of Faerun leaders detained in a mystical stone devil intelligent assistant called Crosier. Now go to the present, where the three individual adventurers - Rannek the fighter, Illius the Warlock, Rogue and Zhai - allies are in a battlefield full of orcs. Everyone is there with its own agenda, but upon entering the secret chamber that houses the stone devil and accidentally release the evil rivals, the three discover that their fates intertwined. Thus will begin a quest to return to prison and Ygorl Sereka. The story is quite archetypal, although the inclusion of the two competitors is also in the throat of others is a nice, and in general, given the history quite well. The game uses nice, quick scenes to keep the touching story, and usually manages to do so without interrupting the flow of the action too.

D & D fans will be very interesting to know that Stone Demon written by R. A. Salvatore, who has written a series of novels based on the world of D & D Forgotten Realms. familiarity with the subject is evident, employing a large number of characters and scenarios that those familiar with the world of Forgotten Realms recognized.
In this D & D scenario well established, Stone Demon proceeds to launch a seemingly insurmountable number of enemies in the three party. While the numbers may seem impressive, your party is more than capable of handling the workload. Melee is the main means of bringing poor, which mostly consist of several combinations of three buttons. However, as you play, you will learn the system tones, such as a riposte and recovery moves, attacks charged, and important knockout movement, which is ideal for finishing an enemy who has been knocked down, but threatens with back on their feet. On top of the core battle, each character also has a ranged attack supermove a single, collective-up game that allows you to call his teammates for quick help, and mines supermove computer screen. All these actions are very useful when the odds are strongly against you. Once you get the hang of a character, the other two are quite easy to adapt to, since all three share many of the same basic movements.
Of course, each has its own specific strengths also. Rannek core melee moves are particularly violent, and players will probably find it easier to use in general, because it requires an incredible amount of finesse to use too. Illius the magician has a strength lies in the ranged spells that are more powerful than the other characters ranged attacks, making them more useful for delivery of the REACH enemies. Zhai stealth moves make it the most unique of the three, simply because the mechanics are unlike anything Rannek or Illius. Playing as Zhai, you will realize that the dark areas are marked with different spots shine. If you move to a shaded for half, becoming virtually invisible for a short range of time. Except for some special cases, the game does not actually have to sneak around their enemies too. However, when you're in stealth, you can creep up on unsuspecting enemies to perform individual movements, which can be quite satisfactory. The PC version of Stone Demon uses a slightly modified the first-person shooter keyboard control standard and mouse by default, it works pretty good approach, although if you have a controller with an analog stick and the appropriate number of buttons, the experience will they feel a little more flexible.
While the game seems pretty friendly with the essential regular button-mashing at first, it is very necessary to understand the strengths and abilities of his party, which becomes apparent after the first levels. Fortunately, Stone Demon doing a very good job of introducing the basic combat tactics throughout the first two levels. But even in the default difficulty, the game offers a respectable challenge, so you know that if you have three or four trolls around him, not take long to empty bar their health. The boss battles can also be particularly difficult, as they tend to require some specific tactics that are not always obvious, and does not leave much room for transfusion. Although only save hard points in the game there at the end of each level, Demon Stone breaks levels well sized pieces. Thus, despite the fierce battle at times, rarely need to repeat more than five minutes of action from one of our characters ended.
As you defeat enemies, the characters collect gold and gain experience that can be used both for new equipment and learn new skills. The formation of character is not as deep as in a role playing game full D & D, but the characters are felt stronger as you progress in the game, and purchases of new equipment is actually reflected on the character appearances, which is a very nice touch. Admiring the new armor and weapons upgrade evil just bought for his character, he is one of those little pleasures that helps you bring the whole experience together.
