Hence, fighting them takes an aggravating amount of time. Unfortunately, many of these fall apart under scrutiny though, because the game likes bosses to be absurdly beefy. I really did enjoy seeing that snake god eat his own wizard. It's a cool touch, and all credit should be given where it is due. Not kill it, just make it so it can't fly. Hell, there's even a fight against a dragon where you use your absurdly slow magic spells to screw up its wings. In a different level, you fight near endless hordes of troops climbing up ladders in a wizard's tower, only to learn the tower itself isn't defenseless armor comes to life, books fly off shelves, and magic swords animate to kill the attackers and help you out. Eventually, he gets so starved, he just eats the wizard that summoned him instead. For example, one boss fight against a Yuan-ti god involves you not fighting him directly but instead killing off mind-controlled servants who are supposed to be living sacrifices to him. That's not to say there aren't some interesting ideas here there are, some very cool ideas too. Oh, and that healing is super important, because if any character dies, it's game over, and you're back to your save or a checkpoint right before another really long unskippable cutscene. That's because Demon Stone comes from the hack and slash school of enemy spam, so expect hordes of folks who like to stunlock the player. Still, the AI is better than Daikatana, and the game drops healing items often enough that the AI characters will run over and heal themselves if they get low, which is going to happen. Ok, it's not that bad.usually, but it does happen. Yes, you play as the trio, swapping between them at any given time to thoroughly get trashed by whatever was about to hit that character when you unwittingly swapped into the middle of an ambush. In short one character I preferred to play as, one character I was ok with playing, and one character that I loathed but was inevitably required to play as because "Magic is kewl, snarf!" Enter the party: Rannek, a human fighter with a ponytail that sticks straight out, Zhai, a half-Drow, half-Wood Elf who likes to get sneaky and assassinate characters using the janky stealth system if you can find that one perfect angle, and Illius, a slow as hell sorcerer whose clothes seem to suffer a perpetual Marilyn-Monroe-over-a-sewer-grate problem. Only three losers accidentally end up releasing them after running away from a dragon, so now it's up to the trio of losers to fix the problem. These guys hate each other and would ultimately have led their armies against one another and destroyed the land in their ongoing war, so Patrick Stewart figured imprisoning them together was the best possible idea. What is it about? Well, turns out there's this thing called a demon stone, which was used to trap the spirits of two Slaad and Githyanki warlords.

It is everything we remember of console-to-PC ports of the early 2000s, in that they suck and console developers hated PC gamers.īut enough of that.

And none of this even begins to point out the problems with lack of options (including no volume controls), bizarre controls that are completely unchangeable, and a hardcore love affair with checkpoints right before unskippable cutscenes full of graphical and audio problems. I don't know what issues plague the console versions, but the PC version of Demon Stone is a buggy mess.
All of this is pretty moot though, as the audio likes to bug out and not play the voice tracks during the unskippable cutscenes. Patrick Stewart and Michael Clarke Duncan provided voicework as well, which might be why the BAFTAs and Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated the game for a bunch of awards.
