They can interrupt mages channelling high-powered spells, or annul archers posted on overwatch, or just get under the feet of advancing brawlers. It seems a worthless waste of a turn, but lobbing a quintet of furious, lightly-singed hens into an enemy backline could cause chaos. The thief has hen bombs, which are exactly what they sound like. The elf’s ability to blow kisses to the frontline from cover may seem dumb, but it’s a ranged heal that can give back some serious HP if her charisma stats has been well maintained. It would be easy to point at the ogre’s belch skill and claim toilet humour, but it’s an AoE attack that hits anyone in close proximity and offers a high chance to stun. And while some of these skills might lean towards the ridiculous, their effects do not. There’s experience to be farmed, stats to be bolstered, skills to learn. There’s equipment to be won in battle or looted from chests, difficult choices to be made on whether you’d be better off with that silver ring that refreshes 2HP every turn, or the stone one that increases your melee defence. Maybe the barbarian failed his virtual dice roll and ended up missing the orc entirely, muttering to himself while the rest of his party ruthlessly mock his ineptitude. Maybe all of these! But, also, maybe none of them.

Or, maybe the nefarious thief has set up an ice patch the hapless orc has sprinted into, failed a stability check and ended up flat on his arse, prone to all manner of elevated attacks until he’s able to pull himself to his feet. Or, maybe the ranger’s been set to overwatch, letting him ping an arrow into his retreating form.

However, in his panicked escape attempt, maybe he’s broken ground next to the ogre, which will trigger his attack of opportunity, giving him a free swing at his fleeing foe. Maybe if you hit that orc warrior with the barbarian’s special attack, it will proc fear, wherein the orc will hightail it away from any current threats. You can set up chains of attacks that string into epic combos.

Magic attacks grounded by intelligence stats with percentile chances of status effect triggers like poison or ablaze. For a satirical game, its combat is no joke turn-based squad battles with X-Com-like hit percentages tapered by dodge stats and environment hazards. Sure, all the expected tropes and stereotypes are mercilessly scorned with ditzy airhead elf archers sharing a hate/hate relationship with selfish, materialistic dwarves, but it has no issue putting all that aside when it matters.

'Entry level D&D – do it for the experience'ĭungeons of Naheulbeuk can’t be accused of taking a lot seriously, but it absolutely refuses to make a mockery of its D&D foundations. The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos (PC) review
