Lords of Doom

Game Review

Lords of Doom is a horror adventure/role-playing game from Attic Entertainment Software published by Starbyte Software in 1990 for Amiga, Atari, Commodore 64, and DOS.

The setup of this game is prevalent in many other titles to come from Attic. The mix of RPG and adventure elements in mock 3D environments and the use of a first-person view. Something similar to the setup of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.

In a remote town, many things that go bump in the night have come out in droves to eat the locals. With the help of a couple of monster hunters, two townies are taking the little burg back. Each character has their own needs meters that show their HP, thirst, and hunger levels, and yes, you will have to find nourishment to keep your characters running. The team must battle through the monster hordes in real-time combat and take out their masters to save the town. Aside from fighting, there is also exploration and puzzle-solving to be done. Though magazines met the game with mixed reviews, it was not a bad start for the company. Real RPG fans will want to add this title to their collection.
