Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Hillsfar

Released1989
Hillsfar: An incredible fantasy that combines the best of role-playing adventures and fast-paced action games.* Every visit to Hillsfar is a different, exhilarating experience. Explore the city, meet its colorful denizens on the streets or in pubs and discover a quest (there are many possible ones). Transfer your favorite character from the Pool of Radiance or Azure Bonds AD&D role-playing games, or create one from scratch. Your quest and the options available to you each game will change to suit your character's specialty (thief, mage, cleric or fighter). Your quest will keep you constantly on the move. Fight in the arena against raging minotaurs, ill-tempered orcs or insulted swordsmen. Enter different buildings and your maze-running and lock-picking skills will be required. Archery and equestrian events may also be part of your overall quest. Think fast. Move fast. These mini-games happen in real time! For both adventure and action, there's no place like Hillsfar!

About This Game

In this urban adventure set within the bustling frontier city of Hillsfar, players navigate a living world filled with potential allies and antagonists lurking in taverns, streets, and shadowed corners. Each venture into the city unfolds differently, offering a dynamic array of quests that pull adventurers across diverse locations—from the brutal arena floors where fearsome creatures and hardened combatants clash, to locked chambers and intricate passages requiring cunning and skill to overcome. Beyond straightforward combat, the city tests visitors through archery competitions, mounted challenges, and real-time trials that demand both quick reflexes and strategic thinking. With so many interconnected opportunities for glory and danger waiting around every corner, Hillsfar establishes itself as an unpredictable playground where no two adventures prove quite the same.
