About
The Temple of Elemental Evil, first released in 2003, has inspired a passionate community for over two decades. This updated edition is a true labor of love, shaped by years of fan dedication and the incredible efforts of the Circle of Eight and Temple+ modding communities. It brings the classic D&D adventure to life for modern players with over a thousand fixes and improvements - from enhanced stability and AI to smoother performance, refined UI, and countless quality-of-life updates. We’re deeply thankful to everyone who’s helped preserve and evolve this classic.
An evil demoness founded a cult dedicated to exploring evil in its most elemental forms. This cult was based in a temple just outside the village of Hommlet in a vile shire known as Nulb. Soon, this cult ruled the region with tyranny; times of chaos and violence ensued. Hard-fought battles were waged and the war was eventually won by the good armies of nearby lands. The temple was razed, the villains were imprisoned, and order was restored. The temple itself faded into distant memory...until now.
Recently, bandits have begun patrolling the roads outside Hommlet and wicked forces are rumored to be afoot, converging on the ruined temple at Nulb. Their purposes for such meetings are as yet unknown. The identity of these people are equally a mystery. Some claim they are bent on slaying monsters and maintaining order within the region, but no one can be sure.
So begins your adventure within the Realm of Greyhawk. It is an adventure that will lead to the source of a deep and abiding mystery, to the very core of evil itself.

Game works perfectly for me. Hard to believe because I remember having to put in so much work to even get it to barely run 15 years ago. New players....it is an unfinished game from 23 years ago. Don't expect some crazy story with twists and turns and memorable characters. Its essentially a 3.5 dungeon crawler with VERY challenging fights. Build up your characters into demi-gods and have fun!
No HUD or text scaling makes this a non-starter. To my knowledge, not even mods will fixit. You have to basically run the game in a low resolution and then blow it up to your monitor's resolution e.g. with one of those full screen magnifier apps.
great old school turn based play! still the occasional bug specifically with some of the classes but a whole lotta fun!
tried to play, wouldn't and crashed. Sigh. Glad i bought on sale.
Yes, I’m still getting my ass kicked and missing every attack - just like the good old days.
Jogasso da porra, mistura dos Baldurs Gate bons (1 e 2) com dnd 3.5.
I'll admit I'm probably biased when I say that I highly recommend this game. I played the original when I was single digits years old and struggled immensely both with the difficulty of the game and how buggy the original was. SNEG has done a fantastic job of cleaning things up and adding quality of life features to make it much more enjoyable and much easier to get the hang of. That said, it's still a brutal 3.5 adventure that will require you to scour the land for magical items, useful allies, anything that might give you the edge or sheer luck it takes to succeed. I wouldn't recommend this to the casual dnd gamer, or someone looking to compare it to Baldurs Gate or the Pathfinder games, its its own beast. I'd recommend this to someone who enjoys a challenge and is willing to fail before they succeed.
Feels like half of a (mediocre) game. The right click wheel is so dumb and janky compared to the standard ability bar most other games use. Honestly the one big accomplishment this game has compared to other D&D and Pathfinder CRPG's is it let's you ready actions, which is a staple of such rulesets.
Really good if you enjoy old school D&D! Cosy graphics, great ambient music, good combat.
This game would be a lot of fun if it was a D&D campaign with other players.
