Title: Brenda Romero calls Xbox exclusive Dungeons & Dragons Heroes a “miracle” after last-minute RPG overhaul

Brenda Romero says the Xbox-exclusive *Dungeons & Dragons Heroes* was effectively rescued just five months before release, after an internal reckoning prompted the team to pivot from Atari's intended Gauntlet-style hack-and-slash into a more authentic RPG with quests, items, NPCs, and progression. Though the 2003 game ultimately received mixed reviews and Romero calls it "mediocre," she describes the late-stage overhaul as a development "miracle" given the compressed timeline.

This is relevant to my interests, as I'm one the few people who liked that game. But it's a unremarkable console Diablo-clone, like Dark Alliance.
Still it's interesting to know they only had a few months to rework it into a proper RPG.
