==Reception== Dragonshard received generally positive reviews from the gaming press.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/922155.asp Dragonshard Reviews at GameRankings]</ref><ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/dragonshard?q=dragonshard Dragonshard Reviews at Metacritic]</ref> The game was praised for blending traditional real-time strategy with ''D&D'' role-playing elements.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/dragonshard/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;review |title=Dragonshard for PC Review |accessdate=2008-05-24 |publisher=[[GameSpot]] |date=2005-09-21 |quote=What makes Dragonshard different is that it combines a lot of cool concepts from earlier real-time strategy games and then blends the resulting combination with D&D-style role-playing. In essence, it literally is a role-playing strategy game of sorts, with the surface portion of the world focused on real-time strategy, and the underworld, which deals with role-playing. And yet, the gameplay is subtly tied together, so that what you do in one plane has huge consequences in the other.}}</ref> The main criticism for the game was that it had a short single-player mode, underscored by the complete lack of an Umbragen campaign.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/dragonshard/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary%3Breview&page=2 |title=Dragonshard for PC Review |accessdate=2008-05-24 |publisher=[[GameSpot]] |date=2005-09-21 |quote=That said, we do have some gripes about the single-player campaign. First, despite the fact that there are three factions, the game only features two campaigns, and each campaign only has seven missions. There are many quests in the game, so you can replay parts to see what you've missed. However, despite this feature, it still feels like there's a campaign that's missing that didn't make the cut.}}</ref>
