Druid: Daemons of the Mind

Druid: Daemons of the Mind Review

Sir-Tech have taken great pains to research druidic lore, and that attention to detail is obvious throughout the game's nature-oriented play. Interacting with the world around you is easy--you can mouse-click your way through almost everything--but unfortunate problems with the inventory system make the interface far from perfect.

The story unfolds nicely, against the game's backdrop of intricately rendered backgrounds. The hero in Druid is rendered in detail, and is viewed during play from a three-quarters view similar to that of Origin's Ultima VIII. The dedication to visuals pays off, and the game is almost as much fun to watch as it is to play. Druid is a rich experience, even with its failings, and perhaps more importantly, it's accessible to the veteran and the novice alike--a broad appeal the entire RPG genre lacks.
