While every creature is easily identifiable by its look and vocal reaction, the voice acting in Dungeons 3 is exceptional. This leads to a storyline in which fantasy ripoffs are expected and encouraged, leading to a cheekily-written campaign that knows it isn’t a high-stakes adventure.Īs expected, while the game’s humor and atmosphere mostly keep the player engaged, what ensures the title from falling off a cliff is its sound design and voice acting. Yanna Overproud of Dollaran was probably my favorite, which is a reference to Jaina Proudmoore of Dalaran in the Warcraft universe. Afterwards, I only audibly reacted when I was surprised by the randomness of the references.
While the banter between the main character, Thalya, and the narrator, a snarky British man, is hilarious, the frequent pop culture references are only funny for the first dozen times or so.
Dungeons 3 finds itself in a weird and unique position where it is both elevated and brought down by its sense of humor.
