Warriors of Waterdeep
I can recall when I had a Black Shark generation 1 handset and the only game I really wanted to play was D&D Warriors of Waterdeep. When I finally got my chance to play it I binged the hell out of it.
For a Dungeons and Dragons game this is pretty good. All the bare bones are there for a very easy to play action squad based brawler.
There's the usual stuff like skill upgrades weapon upgrades and even just upgrading bits of your kit. It's the kind of RPG gimmicky stuff you'd expect only this isn't really a RPG.
The campaign is generic as hell. Sure some bosses change but the order to beat them in a lot of the levels do become wash rinse repeat. Across the stages the route taken to get to the level boss fight is annoying. Like even if there's a side quest it's just the long way round to get to the overall objective, and it plays out just the same.
Like I said I played this quite a lot on my old handset and since coming over to the Asus ROG 3 I haven't touched it again until recently. So yeah it's still a good game but right now in 2021 there are other vertical games that are squad-based and offer pretty much the same thing. For example check out my review on Warhammer 40,000 Tacticus, that's a hex based strategy with Heroes instead of moving armies or large units across a 4x tile, but it amounts to the same sort of gaming mechanics that you would find in Waterdeep.
I'm not saying Warriors of Waterdeep isn't a good game when it is. What I'm saying it's just a little dated now. But it's definitely worth your time if you feel like giving it a revisit or try it out for fan service if you like Dungeons and Dragons themed games.
I'm only giving it 3 stars because it needs more dragons.
