Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure
Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure is an animated film or interactive adventure. It was released in 2003.
Overview
[edit]In each scene, it allows the user a choice, and different endings or different paths to the same ending will be displayed depending upon that choice.[1]: 21 The film contains twenty "decision points" throughout its runtime.[2] It continued the tradition of 'Choose Your Own Adventure' novels, using a D&D theme and storyline.[1]: 21 The film had "right" ending and, if the viewer selected incorrect options, they would be met with a screen stating "your path ends here."[1]: 189
Production
[edit]The film was directed by Dan Krech.[2] It was released by Rhino Theatrical on June 10, 2003, after being developed by DKP Effects.[2][3] A collectors edition was released later in 2003 which contained a figurine and behind-the-scenes features.[2]
Reception
[edit]The film received mixed reception from critics. DVD Verdict complimented the film's humor and the animation but criticized the mostly linear nature of the storyline.[4] Video Business similarly criticized the storyline's linear nature, noting that the DVD did not have a rewind function and instead locked viewers into their choices.[2] Video Store Magazine only recommended the film to "kids who already like the genre."[5]
