What’s It About?
DEEP REALMS is basically a dungeon-crawling role-playing game (RPG) that has been adapted for social networks. Players choose one of five classes (warrior, Templar, ranger, assassin, sorcerer) for their character, then explore different regions in search of a great evil that's threatening the land. Along the way, they'll defeat enemies, purchase stronger equipment, and level up to learn new skills and perks. There's also a town to visit, where players can challenge each other to duels or help defeat bosses.
Is It Any Good?
Deep Realms is designed for "hardcore" RPG fans on Facebook, and obliges with plenty of loot to find, monsters to slay, and character stats to customize. Still, it's not as exciting or varied as similar social games like Zynga's Adventure World. The generic "fight the great evil" plotline is terribly cliched, story development is minimal, and the dungeons are sprawling and repetitive. Deep Realms is perfectly enjoyable for fans of dungeon crawl-style RPGs, but isn't as deep as its name suggests.
