The remake is written entirely in Java hence the name. And because the game was created in Java, it can be played using any platform as long as it supports Java. It definitely works well with the new PCs.
This is such a cool version of the classic game because of the crisp graphics in high resolution that gives the game a 3D look. The sounds are also fantastic so you can really get into the groove of things when you are playing it.
The characters have different strengths and weaknesses and they can also be upgraded as you go on with the game. There are different items in the game that gave your character different abilities and powers. The original version of the game was one of the games that actually introduced the concept of using items and food to enhance the skills of your character.
The game allowed total freedom in exploring the maps so you could actually go back to areas that you have completed. The game play is similar to the original game. If you have played the Dungeon Master, then you won’t have a hard time learning the controls and the goals of the game. There are also several differences in the original
and the remake such as the monsters are not clustered into groups and can move around. Another difference is how you can not easily escape the monster because they have become more intelligent. They can now follow you up and down the stairs. With the old version you could attack them then run up or down a flight of stairs to avoid them.
Because of these differences the Java version is a lot more challenging than the old version and makes it perfect for experienced gamers. The game requires careful thought and play so that you can advance well into the game. It really is a great role playing game considering that it was based in a game that was released in the 80s.
This is a fantastic game that is definitely worth downloading. This game features fantastic graphics and game play and you will surely enjoy it. Definitely a two thumbs up.
