The Temple of Elemental Evil

one of those old school rpgs that really deserves more love and its heavily focused on classic dungeon exploration, turn based combat and a huge amount of freedom in how you build and play your party. the game is based on the d&d rules, so theres a lot of character customization, different classes, spells and strategies to experiment with and the world is full of quests and dangerous encounters. the graphics are definitely dated in a good nostalgic way so its a great choice for anyone who loves classic d&d games and old school adventures!!

[url=https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_temple_of_elemental_evil]Buy the game on GoG.[/url] ToEE was sold on GoG before Steam. You have access to all other previous versions (avoiding new bugs), offline installers, and mod compatibilities. # History The Temple of Elemental Evil (ToEE) was developed by Troika Games and released in 2003. Since then, the game has received extensive community support and numerous patches that continue to this day. The two best-known big community projects are Circle of Eight (Co8) and TemplePlus. Co8 is a large community patch (modpack) that adds new content and fixes some bugs. TemplePlus is a replacement engine that modernizes ToEE, improves compatibility with modern hardware, and fixes numerous additional issues. SNEG is the current publisher and maintainer of The Temple of Elemental Evil on Steam. The version you have right now. What you bought. Exactly what SNEG changed is unknown to the community. However, based on what we can see in the Steam release, it appears they used Co8 and TemplePlus as a foundation, made their own modifications (improvement and fixes), and then released the game on Steam. You can play Steam ToEE as is, because already include both (Co8 and Temple+). In a second playthrough, you can play fully modified by adding the full version of Co8 and Temple+.

*Excellent* version overall, really nice work SNEG!! That said, it's a little tricky to get the FULL Circle of 8 mod + Temple+ to work, but once you know how it functions it's not too bad (just follow the guide here in the Guides section, it's a great guide for doing that.) But yeah, bug-free 30 hours in and just having a blast playing, it works great, the WASD camera is beautiful, everything works as expected and it's truly a joy to play this very unique and OOZING with character, atmosphere and DEPTH as well, my goodness, this is a true GEM of gemz bros. And for your 2nd playthrough or Keep On The Borderlands module (which is a free FULL campaign, a usermade module for the engine), you can use Temple+ and the full Co8, which means extended character creation (SO cool, seriously!) more rules to play with, and just some really really great stuff overall. Classic stuff here in a super playable format, well done! A+ Peace & God Bless yall! <3

10/10 recreation of a D&D session where the DM forgot to prepare anything interesting. Played for 10 hours, but the only fun I had was during the hour I spent creating my characters.

Temple of Elemental Evil is arguably one of the weirder D&D CRPGs ever made, between its slavish adherence to both D&D 3.5 as written and the original T1-4 module from the 80s. It's also one of my favorites. There's not really much else like it out there, which excuses how dry and also punishingly difficult it can be from time to time. I hope you're ready to spend at least 30 minutes in the opening town doing a bunch of fed-ex quests so your characters can get to level 2. On the plus side, that spiked chain trip build you've always theory crafted for tabletop works just fine here and is a lot of fun. In true Troika fashion, this game also was notoriously buggy at launch and required fan fixes to reach its potential. As far as I'm to understand, this new steam release is essentially using a lite version of the Circle of Eight and Temple Plus fix packs, so if you want the basic experience without much fuss you don't need to do anything. If you want anything more it's going to take some research and work, but thankfully not all that much.

Unfortunately they broke this version of the game. Modifiers are completely off. you'll find in the game you always miss even with a +9 to attack level 2 mobs and they hit you so easily no matter what your AC is. spells hardly work at all either. I had to go back to playing my disc version and its a lot better. I have no idea what they did with this.

I enjoy this game only because Temple of Elemental Evil was the first D&D adventure I ever ran back when I was 11 years old and there is tons of nostalgia. For anyone just stepping into this game, there is a lot of issues in it that I wouldn't recomend, it's pretty much just a two dungeon dungeon crawl with very little story and very little dialog to it, pretty much a Hack N Slash, which can be fun, but without the Nostalgic Warm Fuzzies of seeing characters and locations that were only in the Module before kind of come to life, I think there are many games that are better than this. I do like that it's 3.5 rules (The best D&D ruleset there is) and it is turn based which I also prefer.

This is an great remaster of a very hard D&D 3.5 game. The first few levels might require a guide to get through, but once you hit level 5 the game starts to become less save scummy. It is an excellent adaptation of the original D&D adventure by Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer to D&D 3.5. It's turned based, which I prefer, and it seems all the bugs that infested the original game have been fixed in this release. There is also a thriving modding community that adds a ton of extra content to the game including increasing the level cap to 20 and adding new quests and locations. It also runs perfectly on linux via proton, no crashing or any bugs encountered.
