    It's a nicely done Diablo clone, which means that it takes all the good bits and adds quite a few twists to make an entertaining romp through some diverse dungeons.

    With its excellent customization features, a huge assortment of items to find, and a good story to keep things interesting, fans looking for some meaty story for their "PSO" action will find Record of Lodoss War a very refreshing gameplay experience.

    Well done, but with a few tweaks to the graphics and sounds, it could have been a very good game.

    Lodoss War offers a good time, but you'd better like the inherent inanity of dungeon-romps to get anything out of it.
