Why you might like it

  • Free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons setting with officially licensed campaigns based on published D&D storylines and modules.
  • Action-combat (real-time dodging and positioning) rather than pure tab-target, giving combat a faster feel than many class-based MMOs.
  • A large amount of story content is accessible without spending money, including many full campaign modules.
  • Cross-platform play across PC, PlayStation and Xbox lets friends play together regardless of platform.
  • Regular new modules and campaigns have kept the game continuously updated for over a decade.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The cash shop and account-bound currency systems (Zen, Astral Diamonds) create a meaningful gap between free and paying players at endgame.
  • Gear enhancement and refinement systems involve real grinding and RNG, similar to other free-to-play action MMOs.
  • Older campaign content can feel dated compared to newer modules, creating an uneven experience while leveling through the story.
  • Endgame group content (Trials, high-end dungeons) expects specific builds and gear, which can be a barrier for casual players.
  • As with many long-running free-to-play games, some quality-of-life conveniences are gated behind premium currency.
