    [​IMG]Heroes of Neverwinter has been reviewed at GameSpy with a score of 3.5/5:

    In short, you gather a well-balanced party and charge through battle-heavy dungeons turn-by-turn. All the while, your characters level up, gain new abilities, and maybe - just maybe - learn a little something about themselves in the process. It's standard - albeit simple - tactical RPG fare. But what it lacks in originality it makes up for with sheer compulsiveness. And it's always just a browser tab away.

    Microtransactions, however, lurk around every corner. Most annoyingly, the game chains you to a slowly replenishing "energy" meter, which stops your adventurers dead in their tracks if it dips too low. At that point, you can either occupy yourself with something else (I suggest reading a book or aging) while it refills, or you can sacrifice a few dollars to leap back into action. Beyond that, I never felt particularly compelled to set down my wand and pick up my wallet, although reviving my party near the end of tougher dungeons was tempting.​

    Game is still in beta and getting worse with each update. They recently have had some major server issues in which a number of characters got screwed up for a number of people. I got into the closed beta but I just stopped playing until they make some changes to parts of the game such as letting eneimies drop items becuase they way it stands now none do and they are like 1-2 chests in the entire dungoen and the chestsonly have like upwards of 35 gold in them. Not enough to go around and on top of that they changed the UI completely from what that article has up. Its now a radial UI so yeah the game has gone downhill from closed beta.

    I tried this out once on facebook last week but it crashed and froze right as I was beating a dungeon boss and so when I went back in after reloading the page, I didn't get any rewards for the quest but still lost the energy needed to do the quest. I won't be playing it again.
