Reception

edit

John O'Neill of Black Gate described the game as "a perfect way to introduce your non-gaming friends to the genre, or to get in a bit of dungeoneering on those nights when your dungeon master it too hung over to make it".[5]

DieHard GameFan said that "all in all, I had fun with The Legend of Drizzt. It has its issues and it's the weakest of the Adventure System games so far, but it's still a fun way to while away an afternoon if you don't have a large enough group to engage in a proper tabletop session or no one has the inclination to be a Dungeon Master".[6]
