Dungeons & Dragons Tactics

Players create or select a character and companions to form their party. As the campaign progresses, players can recruit additional companions, including pre-generated characters, creating their own group, or using the quick-start option. The main hero's death will end the campaign, and players can choose from 11 core character classes.

The game is played by moving the party icon along a map, making choices on locations to enter and interactions with party members. Combat is handled in turn-based tactics fashion on a grid, where initiative determines the order of actions. Each character has options during their turn, including spells and psionics for certain characters.

The game features wireless multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players to host or join games, with pre-generated characters only allowed in certain modes like Dungeon Bash and Deathmatch Battle.
