LGR - Descent To Undermountain - DOS PC Game Review

[@mechkarras]

My favorite part of this whole thing was the Magic 8 Ball in Fallout 2 which would sometimes say "Yes, we know Descent to Undermountain was crap."

[@theblackwidower]

Was it by the same developer?

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

T Duke Perry Yeah, Interplay.

[@planescaped]

I vaguely recall reading that and not getting it as a kid... I thought it was a jab at some fantasy, LOTR-like book. XD

[@guguy00]

A little late but Chris Avellone was level head for Descent to Undermountain. He would work on Fallout 2 and later on be director (I think) of New Vegas.

[@jeremydandeneau7704]

@@guguy00 Avellone was a key developer on New Vegas but project director was Josh Sawyer. Chris A DID however direct all the DLC except Honest Hearts which again was J Sawyer.

[@baroncalamityplus]

I was an external beta tester for this game. What a horrible mess that was.

[@ZeOHKay]

Wait, really?

[@yushatak]

Did it get less crashy from beta to release, or did it just stay the same? Also, you should totally leak any pre-release materials you have to the Internet.

That art was first used for a Forgotten Realms novel, Spellfire, which was published in 1987. So, the art was stolen twice over.

[@genekwagmyrsingh9433]

[@cpmartins]

[@arthas640]

im no game developer and know little about game production but i always thought a game where you go to play as a dragon would be tons of fun, flying around and burning down villages or saving them, fighting armies, etc. maybe add a "transformation" mechanic where you can change into a human like in ancient Chinese mythology (or like the show American Dragon) so you could interact with humans. Every once in awhile we get a game like Skyrim where you get to ride a dragon a little bit, but i'd love a full game where you got to BE a dragon.

[@RSimpkinuk57]

This video actually made me look up the word "grundle" LOL biggest thumbs up to a video ever for the character name alone. I hope you don't mind me stealing it the next time I play Daggerfall.

[@mdtexeira]

As annoying as hidden walls are, they are kind of thematic for Undermountain, which is supposed to be a labyrinthine dungeon created by a mad wizard. If it wasn't infuriating and confusing, people might think Halaster had lost his edge.

[@LGR]

There's faithful translation of the source material, and then there's game design that's fun to play. Sometimes, you can't have both it seems :)

[@mdtexeira]

True that. I thought Neverwinter Nights did a pretty good job with Undermountain. At least then the secret doors were optional (if I remember correctly) and marked once you found them.

[@desther7975]

Yes, hidden passages should have been revealed by character spot checks, as they are in Hordes of the Underdark. This game here was clearly unfinished and possibly just not well thought out to begin with. Probably more of a cash grab than a proper D&D game from the get-go.

[@YukonHexsun]

@@desther7975 Exactly. If you had a high enough wisdom it should just let your passive perception reveal them, maybe some rules that change the DC like looking directly at it or moving quickly.

[@davidmiller9485]

this is an old thread but... Undermountain was specifically a trap. The whole damn thing. It was designed to kill. Halaster has issues after he received a part of mystra. Elminister did better. After mystra came back and took that part of her power from him he returned to normal and his paranoia was far less.

I still have my copy. I remember working at a software etc store that Christmas of 1997 and returning my copy because I thought it was defective. It was then, on the forums, that I realized it was the game. The official forums were a hellish mess. I remember impersonating Brian Fargo on the boards and apologizing for the game and people believed it too, fooled the board admin, Robin. Good times. Also uploaded the first bit of gameplay of this game on my old channel back in 2007. Then had a bunch of others steal the footage and claim it as their own.

This game badly needs a remake! Maybe a modder could do it in the recent Daggerfall Unity engine? Anyway, great review LGR! Love the humor, and the bit of trivia was very interesting. I actually had no idea it was related to Descent. Or maybe I forgot, because I was around at the time and was a big fan of Descent.

[@Blandco]

Man that Spellfire artwork has been used so many times for so many things.

[@BleachCowboy2016]

The box art is actually even older, from a Forgotten Realms book called "Spellfire"

[@RyuRanXII]

2:31 - That 60 FPS page turning... soooo smooth! BTW, if you're looking for an awesome D&D action-oriented dungeon-crawler, get *Dungeon Hack* instead. That game is great!

[@Blandco]

The box art is actually the same as the book "Spellfire" I believe.

[@DomTarason]

Ambitious failures are always interesting to see, and often far more interesting and educational than any regular success story. On that note, I'd love to see LGR take on Abomination: The Nemesis Project sometime. Not well regarded or reviewed due to a whole raft of issues, but it has a special place in my heart for having one of the coolest aesthetics and concepts an action-strategy-RPG could have in the late 90s. In short: X-Men + XCom + Lovecraftian horror. Eldritch biomechanical elder monsters eat a city, and a team of mutant superhero soldiers pick through the ruins in search of the truth and a cure. Could make for an interesting video.

[@TheRealAkaRai]

Descent meets D&D *should* be a D&D game set on a labyrinthic dungeon that's a space prison and the gravity is wonky allowing you to move in any direction as you do in Descent. My mind tingles with the possibilities a game like that could have.

Reminds me a lot of the old Might and Magic games. MM7 was my jam back in the day. It was very fun to play, and while I remember it fondly, I'll be the first to admit that it suffered from the usual complexity and obtuseness that many oldschool PC RPGs suffered from at the time, particularly going into the late game.

[@TyphoidBryan]

Sad. This one looked like it could have been good. LGR, have you ever tried the King's Field series? I believe it is a bit of an ancestor to the incredible Souls series of today. KF carries that similar first-person action with the dark, dungeonesque esthetic.

[@base21]

It's even made by the same people who did dark souls

[@ListersHatsune]

Damn. If it wasn't for the rush in creation; this looks like it could've been an amazing game. Everything perfect is there but it was executed horribly. The only thing that I can see that wouldn't be solved by a little more time is the hidden walls - which could just be bad design. Other than that; it really seems like the kind of game I'd have spent hours on as a child - but they rushed it so it never was.

Even Order of the Griffon re-used that Clyde Caldwell art piece. It had already been used as the cover art for at least one Forgotten Realms AD&D product (one of the booklets inside the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting boxed set), the 1987 novel Spellfire, and I believe it was also used in one of the Forgotten Realms calendars that TSR used to release annually in the late 80s/early 90s. By the time Descent to Undermountain was released the box art was well over a decade old and this marked the fourth or fifth time it was used in a product.

[@Scrofrogoly]

Hey LGR,, I was ispired by your thrift store vids and went to a goodwill. I bought battlefield 2 for 3 dollars and saw a flat screen monitor for 6 dollars and a crt with composite ports for 8 bucks. This place is amazing.

It's incredible how many game companies went out of business just because business owners made bad and rushed choices.

[@HaydenX]

With actual game devs at the helm, you get a reliable company that waits to release games until they are done, and generally aren't obsessed with expansion. With a business executive at the helm, you get people trying to extract as much money as possible from the --suckers-- customers, who will just move on to the next company when the current one inevitable bites the dust. Rinse and repeat; the parasites advance to their next host to bleed it dry in the name of anarcho-capitalism. For the best example of this sort of nonsense, you need look no further to the early days of EA versus today...or the early days of Activision versus today.

Not sure if you knew this, but the cover artwork for this game is also on the Forgotten Realms book "Spellfire" I have a feeling it was made for that book first, given it matches what happens IN the book. So I'm wondering if they just took it and decided to make it the cover art for two games.

[@branchonequal]

I suppose the (extremely) short bit of the intro which can be seen at 2:49 is part of the Interplay logo introduced sometime in the mid-90's. It's on KZbin if you want to have a look. ;)

[@Disthron]

So, was Descent 2 made on a brand new engine or was it developed from the original engine also? I wonder if this project could have been saved back in the day or if the engine just wasn't cut out to be an RPG. Maybe if they'd stuck to sprites for the monster characters? I know the enemies in Decent were 3D but they were also very rudimentary space ship shapes.

[@Horzuhammer]

The same engine, but it was modified I think.

[@aamiralavi78]

Remember being so hyped for this when it was first released. I loved the old D&D games, I loved Ultima Underworld, I loved Arena: the elder scrolls and this was going to beat them all! And then....

To think this game had been released the same year as Baldur's Gate. Interplay managed to go from the worst Dungeons & Dragons game to the best Dungeons & Dragons game within the span of a single year. Top 10 Anime Redemption Arcs.

I asked them if they had anything to do with Descent into Undermountain and the two devs put their hands up and said, "We don't have anything to do with that!" That was kinda funny. This is a great example of a game where someone really needed to think about the tech available and what a fun game made with it would feel and seem like, and aim for that instead of just satisfying the spec requirements without regular evaluation of fun value.

Even though Descent to Undermountain suffered from bad development and unresolved bugs, I'm already intrigued by the game based on your review. The decision to use Descent's engine for DtU sounds inspired, and I really like the visuals and graphics for this game. It's looks and plays like a Descent version of Ultima Underworld. But as you said, the game was incomplete, and that numerous bugs ruined the experience. I don't know if it can be fixed by patches, or if it can only work if remade on a different engine. I'm surprised that the D&D game developers didn't try to license engines like Quake and Unreal for potential games in the late 90s. I sometimes wish there were D&D games that used Hexen, Half-Life, and Deus Ex as templates. Even Dungeon Keeper would've made a good base for a D&D game. Still, I think DtU could inspire potential modders a game designers to do a better executed combination of D&D and Descent.

It's entirely necessary. You do need to recall, Undermountain was built by a Lunatic Archmage with WAAAAAAAY too much time on his hands. Thus far it actually sounds like they did a splendid job of accurately adapting Undermountain.

[@Davtwan]

Yeah, but they need to adapt the gameplay to that. It sounds like the skills to detect fake walls doesn't really help all that much. If there's going to be a lot of those fake walls, then the mechanics to find them should be intuitive to prevent progression from halting too often.

[@extragirth64]

When I heard _"combine Descent and D&D"_ I thought you would play a flying fantasy creature, probably a dragon, and you are raiding enormous medieval castles. I guess there would have to be open outdoor segments too, to wipe out the forces outside before entering the castle. *The plot is:* long ago an alliance of humans, elves and dwarves (maybe orcs as well) attacked a Legendary Dragon at it's home base, miraculously killing the dragon. What's leftover? A mountain of gold, silver, priceless gems and magical artifacts the dragon was hoarding. The races split the massive amount of loot resulting in a age of prosperity. Little do they know that the dragon hid her egg where they could not find it and one day it will hatch to seek revenge. Of course the dragon will reclaim any stolen wealth along the way. You fight wizards, shamans, archers, ballista, cannons and other medieval stuff. You also learn magical spells for attack variety and collect runes to open up magically-sealed doors. What I am not sure of is if you can hover in place or not? Big winged animals hovering is stupid but it would make controlling the game a lot simpler. Then again it would be great to finally implement gravity and force the player to walk around sometimes, turning the game into a FPS but you're an overpowered dragon. Too bad the game is what it is.

[@LGR]

Kinda sounds like D&D DragonStrike en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DragonStrike_(video_game)
