Alright, so let me tell you about this wild thing: Resolution Games just dropped a sneak peek of their new Dungeons & Dragons version of Demeo. I mean, who would’ve thought? It’s called Demeo x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Battlemarked. Yeah, the name’s a mouthful, I know. But seriously, they’ve teamed up with Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast, and finally, oh yeah, they showed us what this thing is gonna look like.
So, I watched the gameplay clip. And honestly, it’s – well, it’s basically like the regular Demeo, right? If you haven’t played it, picture this: up to four folks going up against dungeons full of all sorts of monsters. Sounds cozy, yeah? The game plops you into these turn-based skirmishes on grids. Action points rule the day, and you’re chucking a die to see what happens next. There’s something super satisfying about the single sword, double swords, and, uh-oh, the skull.
I mean, I’ve got to mention the cards. They’re like your little magic toolbox – attacks, defenses, all that jazz. And they’re tied to your character class, which is neat. Oh, and get this – Battlemarked comes in VR and plain old flatscreen mode, so if you’re on Steam or PS5 or whatever, you’re covered. VR, it’s there for Quest, PSVR 2, all the usual suspects.
Wait, where was I going with this? Oh, right. They’re saying late 2025 for release. It seems like forever away, but they’re promising more deets soon. The suspense, right? They’re keeping tight-lipped about the launch date, extra platforms, and this mysterious second adventure. Apparently, they’ve roped in Matt Sernett for storytelling. If you’re into D&D, that name might ring some bells. Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale – he’s got a knack for this stuff. That’s a good sign.
If you’re anything like me and already hyped (or mildly curious), you can wishlist it everywhere – Horizon Store, PlayStation Store, and Steam. Honestly, feels like just the kind of thing to lose myself in during a lazy weekend. Who needs to leave the house when you’ve got dungeons to conquer, right?
