Dungeon Lords was, well, just plain broken when it was first released in 2005 by developer Heuristic Park and publisher Dreamcatcher Games. It was full of showstopping bugs and missing features that basically made the fantasy RPG unplayable. Even the release of a so called Collector's Edition a number of months later with a ton of fixes and improvements did little to improve the game's reputation.

Well it looks like Dreamcatcher and its parent company Jowood are going to the Dungeon Lords well again this winter with the release of The Orb and the Oracle. Described in the press release as the "next installment" of Dungeon Lords, the game is supposed to have a huge world to explore, support for both single and co-op multiplayer modes, a new combat system and other features. The feature we really want at this stage is for the game to just work out of the box.
