About Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun
Dungeon & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun is set in the world of Mystara, a setting of the Dungeons & Dragons game. The characters find themselves in a strange, red-hued world in which the horizon slopes upward in all directions, eventually vanishing into a crimson haze at the limits of sight. Their mission is to find and make allies in this new world or else the kingdom and its culture will perish. The player leads a party of four characters (either the default party or one that the player has created). Characters and races can be chosen from the normal D&D options. The gameworld is viewed from an isometric perspective and the characters can roam around in realtime. Battles are turn based. Like most role-playing games, the gaming experience focuses on exploration, inventory management and character development.

A fast, friendly Genesis role-playing game from Westwood that holds up as an entry point to the genre.
Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun was developed by Westwood Associates and published by Sega, on both sides of the Atlantic in August 1992. Its party of adventurers has been transported to a strange world and works for the insane Duke Barrik while hunting a way home. It uses D&D rules and creatures and themes from the Hollow World campaign setting. Sega Pro, in a 1992 preview, called it the first official D&D Mega Drive game.
VideoGames & Computer Entertainment named it Best Role-Playing Video Game of 1992, praising its efficient handling of the D&D rules and its fast, varied play.
What the press said at the time
| Game Informer Issue 5 | Summer 1992 | Overall Rating: 8.75 |
| AllGame | 2.5/5 |
“this is one of the most advanced role-plays around for all-out fantasy or D&D players.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle. The European cart usually costs less than the US one loose and about the same complete. The cartridge keeps its saves in a battery, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair and not a sign of a fake.
