About this game

Dungeons & Dragons Tactics is a fantasy role-playing game for PlayStation Portable, developed by Kuju Entertainment and published by Atari. Set in the eastern border reaches of the Lindesi, it uses the D&D 3.5 Edition core rule set.

Players create or select a hero and assemble a party from eleven core classes, plus the psionic warrior and psion. The campaign begins with up to five companions and allows recruitment of up to eleven as the adventure progresses. If the main hero dies, the campaign ends.

Travel takes place across a map, while battles use turn-based tactics on a grid of five-foot squares. Initiative determines turn order, and characters can use actions, spells, and psionics according to their abilities and the 3.5 Edition combat rules. Wireless multiplayer supports up to four players in modes including Dungeon Bash and Deathmatch Battle, using pre-generated characters.
