If you're looking to just pick up and play, then I can't recommend the game enough 10/10. 1 & 2 were fantastic while DS 3 was total garbage. However, as a retro/indie streamer, I'm livid. My viewers have been asking I play DS as many have heard of it but never experienced it, BUT THE GAME WON'T CAPTURE ON on either Streamelements OR OBS Studio. I don't know why, but it just won't. Just playing the game normally, everything runs fine for me, had to slow it down a bit cuz the mouse was a little to fast, but other then that it runs fine. BUT, I purchased it so I could stream it and the fact NEITHER OF THE TWO BIGGEST STREAMING PROGRAMS can capture the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME is absolute BS!!!!!!!

Edit: I have found a very inconvenient way around capturing the game. set it to capture in window (full-screen=false), have it captured as a window source, shut down DS and remove the full-screen prompt, then launch the game normally and the window capture for some BIZARRE reason suddenly captures the game. This is the ONLY way I have found the game will capture. I get the game is old, but this is nuts.

I cannot recommend this game (along with the other 2 in the series) highly enough.

My dad introduced me to this game, and I've loved it ever since. I finished it once, and planned to play a lot more. Unfortunately, it now doesn't run on my computer, and it hasn't since I updated to Windows 10. 😟

Hopefully I can find a way to fix this and play it again, because this is genuinely one of my favorite games ever.

I used to play the hell out of this game when I was a child. It is certainly a relic of its time. It works surprisingly well on the steamdeck and can perform even better with a trick or two that can be found on ProtonDB. One important piece of information about the Steam version of this game is that it does NOT come with the Legends of Arana expansion.
The multiplayer, and by extension the multiplayer map, is disabled on the main menu and cannot be selected. To bypass this put zonematch=true in the launch settings.
I highly recommend looking for the LoA expansion online somewhere, if you can somehow find it after all these years. The game also has a surprisingly active modding scene on the nexus.
