You can only add one of them to your party, and the choice is permanent. Later on, you get to recruit the Priestess, the Paladin, or the Minstrel. These serve as both their names and their classes. The core of your party consists of the Ranger, the Barbarian, the Thief, the Wizardess, the Ogre, the Dwarf, and the Elf. And while a lot of the game’s humor didn’t exactly land for me, these interactions never failed to amuse. All of this is interspersed with frequent conversations between the heroes, and their interactions with the dungeon’s denizens. This results in a fair bit of mildly annoying backtracking, though. Side quests are also way more numerous than it initially appears, you just have to regularly revisit the game’s NPC hubs to actually pick them up. Overall, the game is fairly linear, but occasionally you do get to explore some side passage. Some of the rooms will treat you to a combat encounter, and occasionally you’ll get to solve some simple puzzle or a riddle. You enter a floor, get a feel for its overall theme, and start clearing it out room by room while looting everything that’s not bolted down. In an attempt to lift their curse, the heroes will have to deal with all these creatures with varying degrees of prejudice. There’s even a dark elven rock band in there somewhere. You have your drunken orcs, ice-skating goblins, undead librarians, and so on. It’s not so much a dungeon as it is a tower populated by all sorts of zany creatures. Eponymous, according to the game’s snarky and oftentimes groan-inducing item descriptions, is a word the writers really like. This ambition quickly loses its urgency when the heroes find themselves cursed by the once again eponymous amulet.
THE DUNGEON OF NAHEULBEUK THE AMULET OF CHAOS WIKI SERIES
Going for the Eyes on Hell’s Kitchen From my understanding, the game follows the first season of the audio series where the party has to retrieve an unpronounceable statuette from the eponymous dungeon. But in the end, this project managed to pique my curiosity, since a party-based RPG that combines turn-based tactical combat with light-hearted comedy is very much right up my alley. When the game was initially announced, I was mostly just mystified by the fact that audio dramas, or audio comedies in this case, were still a thing. The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos is the series’ video game adaptation described as an epic and challenging tactical RPG filled with humor, surprises and silly encounters. It follows a party of underqualified adventurers on a series of epic quests that have a tendency to go off the rails. Introduction The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is a French audio series built around the idea of poking fun at all sorts of fantasy and RPG tropes.
