The goblins have a new leader who wants to kill all the humans in the world. Dink has to find him and kill him before its too late. To do so he needs three amulets that will help him cross the barriers that the goblins have put up.

I absolutely enjoyed playing this DMOD. Being someone who enjoys a great story more than anything else in the game(cycles of evil is one of my favourite DMODS) I did not expect to like this one all that much. Needless to say I was wrong. There are lots of new graphics here, some of which are OKAY (the monsters in the first two temples actually looked quite funny) and some very good(creepy eyeballs). The new spells, heal and flameburst were a good addition. And instead of getting to increase one of your stats after leveling up, you recieve tokens which you can use to buy various stuff.

Perhaps the BEST part of the game is fighting the bosses. Very innovative indeed. Not difficult to kill them but takes a wee bit figuring out to do, which is good. Quite different from the usual.

There's nothing really bad in the game. I kept getting lost in the forest and that was a little frustrating, but that was only because I wanted to get to the next boss as fast as possible. Also, the eyeballs can be a little tough, but if you are really good at hitting and running (which most of the Dinkers usually are) you'll find that this, combined with the heal spell, makes the task easier.

I'm giving this DMOD a 9.0 simply for keeping me hooked to it.
Looking forward to its sequel.
