It was released for MS-DOS in a somewhat unfinished state in 1993 by Strategic Simulations, and later patched to a more workable version. I usually replace the Gladiator with a fighter/psionicist, but I think the best combination would be to have a Mul fighter/pcionicist/thief, though I can't remember if this is a valid combination. Details: Video game Descr: Dark Sun: Shattered Lands is a turn-based role-playing video game that takes place in the Dungeons and Dragons' campaign setting of Dark Sun. There are also a couple of dialogue options only available to Psionicists in the game, and they're the only character that can use bracelets. Fighter/psionicist multiclasses are good and some of the pcionicist powers can be very helpful (Synaptic Static is my favourite, it blocks ALL psionics and is a boon in the final battle). The psionics that the other classes get are minimal and not terribly useful. If you want to be able to do absolutely everything in the game and use all the magic items, you'll also need a Psionicist. Mul fighter/thief (the extra strength makes for a very powerful backstab) Even in the latest version there's one that can appear almost at the end game and prevent you from finishing (the final battle never triggers) unfortunately I never managed to figure out what causes this particular bug to happen.īeren's party is a very balanced one. The only problem with the game (and it's a big one) is that it's full of bugs that can get you permanently stuck and unable to finish the game.

It's one of my favourite RPGs, though I've not played the sequel.
