Welcome to Play or Nay?, the podcast where we roll for initiative and review classic D&D video games!

In this episode, we're grabbing our Duke controllers and traveling back to the age of the original Xbox for a deep dive into Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes. Will we find a treasure trove of nostalgic fun, or is this dungeon full of traps and TPKs (Total Party Kills)? Join us as we explore the forgotten realms of early 2000s dungeon crawlers.

Listen along as we discuss:

The good, the bad, and the clunky of the game's combat system.

Whether the four-player co-op mode is a chaotic good time or a lawful evil disaster.

The quest for loot that's actually worth using.

And, of course, our final verdict: Is this game a Play... or a definite Nay?
