Dungeon Lords is a real time fantasy Computer role-playing game developed by Heuristic Park, published by DreamCatcher Games, and released in 2005. It includes quests, personal missions, skills and special abilities for customizing the character hero from a small set of races and class specializations. Dungeon Lords can be played either single-player stand alone, or in multi-player group sessions.
Many have criticized the game's initial release as a rushed project, released before it was truly finished. Some have gone so far as to say the game is still in the beta Development stage. These criticisms stem from the numerous bugs contained in the 1.0 release, most notably buttons on screen and in the tutorials which do not work. According to the creators, the bug issues are being addressed and are planned to be resolved in a series of patches.
The game interface has enhanced detail compariable to the turnbased game Galactic Civilizations 2. One of the larger complaints of Dungeon Lords is that when you first enter the game the sky does not change color according to the time of the game, and when you first get into the city, the color of the sky bearly changes from at night to when it's noon. when the "mist" was programed into the particular map, it seems to have dampened out the sunlight so much, day and night is no longer identifyiable.
