Death Knights of Krynn

Review
Also known as
幽靈騎士

This AD&D RPG challenges your party to end an undead plague, featuring the unique Knight class, high-level progression, and strategic clan choices.

Death Knights of Krynn was developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) for MS-DOS in 1991. It is the second game in the Krynn series and was released on DOS as the original platform, with no earlier commercial release on any other platform.

About Death Knights of Krynn

Death Knights of Krynn continues the Dragonlance series, directly following the events of Champions of Krynn. The adventure centers on a widespread undead infestation that corrupts former allies and unleashes decaying hordes across the land. The primary objective is to locate and destroy the source of this threat to prevent Krynn from being completely overrun.

Gameplay involves navigating an overland map and exploring towns from a first person perspective. Parties consist of six characters, with at least one required to be a Knight, a character class unique to this setting. Additional non player characters can join the group during the journey. Travel is challenging, as wandering monsters, particularly undead, will frequently attack the party.

Character progression allows for advancement to higher levels, granting new skills and more potent spells. A distinctive feature for Knights is the eventual choice to specialize in one of three clans, each representing a different martial focus. Players have the option to import their characters from the previous game to continue their development.
