Ravenloft: Strahd´s Possession - Review.Fortunately you have to save and reload a lot to progress in level-draining-infested-monster-places. Such a terrible design of the developers to include that thing. I never found much variance between them except for those that can inflict level drain. There are quite many monsters and many of them are atmospherically described in the manual. They where even more effective than fireballs and ice storms whose radius of effect is impossible to calculate for in the game. One or two hits and most enemies at my feet. From the beginning of the game to the end of the game the magic missiles never failed to help me out on any foe. The only exploit I myself found - or I wouldn´t call it an exploit - is that magic missiles seems to be the most effective spell in the whole game. Tactics ? What tactics! There are no tactics employed from the monsters at all. A slow and cumbersome system without any shortcuts. You have to press upp a menu of spells, choose spellevel and then click on the spell and then on the target. A pure bottom low rating for the combat system. Add to that the free roaming 3D-world where monsters run around you and you have to fiddle with the slow keyboard to change your heading before striking and this system turns out to be really bad. Even tough it relies on the AD&D ruleset you just click with your mouse on every monster or foe until they are dead.
