An enjoyable tribute to classic tabletop role playing, VotE brings some very familiar races and rules to the T-Engine 4. Within this loving recreation and homage, players will find skills, spells, equipment, combat and monsters that closely match the source material. Everyone loves an old-school dungeon crawl with a half-orc Barbarian, especially in a dungeon that can be punishingly difficult at times. The highly random level generation has little pity for weak young adventurers.

Unfortunately, this module is plagued with glitches. Players will face a constant wave of foes in the form of lockups and auto bug report forms. It is often difficult to access menus, many times requiring a program restart. More than one of the characters tested were permanently blocked out of their inventory screens, with no readily apparent trigger for the bug. Another minor frustration is found in the permanence of level up selections; a single click on a skill or feat, and there is no going back.

These issues will hopefully be addressed in a future version. A nostalgic, extended trip into the Underdark would be most welcome.
