Reception
One reviewer from Pyramid wondered: "Why it took Wizards of the Coast so long to milk this cash cow (or, more accurately, milk it anew) isn't clear, but in a field that, in the last six months, has turned positively lousy with mapping accoutrements and programs from several companies, you have to be cautious enough to wonder if Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Tiles is worth it."[1] Another reviewer commented regarding Wizards of the Coast that "it's nice to see they've at least kept up one of their lines long enough to produce the promised next installment in their Dungeon Tiles line. Arcane Corridors offers a mystic bent in its selection."[2] Another reviewer from Pyramid commented that "Quick-use maps continue to flood the RPG market, and thankfully Wizards of the Coast keeps up a regular supply of their quality tile sets. To coincide with their miniatures accessory The Unhallowed, the third set in the line is called Hidden Crypts."[3]
