Sword Coast Legends, a party-based RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms universe will swashbuckle on to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this Spring.
I don’t know much about D&D so I’m going to let the press release explain how the game works.
Sword Coast Legends offers an all-new way to enjoy the time-tested magic of playing Dungeons & Dragons as a shared storytelling experience. By bringing the roleplaying dynamic between players and a Dungeon Master (DM) to life with a first-of-its-kind real-time DM mode, Sword Coast Legends delivers a unique experience where a Dungeon Master guides players through customizable adventures. The DM mode is not entirely focused on adversarial play typical to 4v1 games. Instead, active DMs engage and empower entire parties to have more fun in a way that best suits the desired experience.
The game was originally scheduled for last year but seems to have been delayed, Sword Coast Legends has been out on PC for a while.

Looking forward to this – the DM stuff seems like an interesting take on 4v1 multiplayer.

Reviews have been frustratingly average so I’ve avoided this and will continue to do so. Gutted as the premise of it fascinated me.
