Description:

The following text is taken from the Atari web site:

' Enter the mythical land of Faerûn, where magic, prophecy and mystery envelop great heroes and perilous evil.

Within this awe-inspiring, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® world, a fighting saga begins. Control a party of three — a Fighter, a Sorcerer and a Rogue — in a quest to right a wrong and shape the future. Switch characters on the fly to exploit each warrior's specialized fighting styles (projectile/ranged, melee and sneak combat) and maximize each character's attributes. The right moves will build the party into a well-balanced fighting trio.

The Demon Stone gameplay elements — diverse, exciting and extremely cinematic — push action/adventure to an entirely new level!
