Crimson Shroud review: A successful roll
You may not see them, but dice rolls are pretty much everywhere in RPGs. Even role-playing shooters like Alpha Protocol feature dice rolls to an extent. But Crimson Shroud is one of the few I can think of to literally feature dice. It’s one of its most endearing features.
In essence, Crimson Shroud is a one-shot tabletop adventure for the Nintendo 3DS. As with the classic Dungeons & Dragons games, multiple dice are used in everything from rolling for initiative to determining whether the party can launch a surprise attack. Characters are represented by the tiny figurines used to map distance, and the story is told across long tracts of text, as if the Dungeon Master were actually narrating. For longtime tabletop gamers, it’s a treat.Gallery: Crimson Shroud (3DS eShop)Continue reading Crimson Shroud review: A successful rollCrimson Shroud review: A successful roll originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:15:00 EST.
