'Dungeon master mode is going to allow players to quickly jump in and play as a real-time DM in a way that has never really been fully realized in a video game,' n-Space president Dan Tudge told IGN. It's not entirely clear how that dynamic will work, but the developers - the game is actually being co-developed by studios n-Space and Digital Extremes - are hoping that the new feature will help set the game apart from the plethora of forgettable D&D video games before it. It's not entirely clear how the dynamic will work Key to that is a 'DM mode' that lets one player act as a dungeon master, guiding the experience of four other players in real time.
At a glance it's just a typical generic RPG with D&D trappings, but it also lets you emulate the experience of playing the venerable pen-and-paper game. Dungeons & Dragons doesn't have the best history when it comes to video game adaptations, but the upcoming Sword Coast Legends could well be an exception to that rule.
