Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, a 2001 D&D RPG that flopped, is back on Steam
A Dungeons & Dragons RPG that most players skipped in 2001 is getting a second shot. Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor is out now on Steam, its first digital release, priced at $19.99 in the US.
The original, made by Stormfront Studios and published by Ubisoft, arrived in the slipstream of Baldur’s Gate and sank under its bugs. PC Gamer remembered it as plenty of combat with little depth. The new publisher, SNEG, says it has fixed many of those original bugs, added widescreen support up to 4K with sharper visuals, full controller support, a reworked camera, an action bar with tooltips and adjustable combat animation speed.
Purists get a Legacy mode that keeps the original look and rules, and the soundtrack comes bundled. Progress from the free demo carries over, and owners of The Temple of Elemental Evil or Forgotten Realms: The Archives – Collection Two get a bundle discount. Whether the restored version earns a kinder verdict than the first one is now up to the players.
