The PC is a great platforms for Dungeons & Dragons fans, with plenty of games inspired by the popular tabletop RPG.
Today, I am here to share the best D&D Games you can play on PC in 2024, mixing in both new releases and older ones, famous games and lesser-known ones. I am sure you will love them all, though.
So let’s check out some of the best D&D games you can play on PC in 2024!
Baldur’s Gate 3
Probably the highest profile game on the list, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a relatively recent launch and an amazing D&D-like game you can play on PC.
Continuing the legacy of its predecessors in the D&D realm, BG3 is the ultimate experience for both veterans and newcomers to the genre.
Create your character and embark on a journey in the Forgotten Realms, facing dark powers, gathering a party, and shaping the fate of the realm through your choices.
If you’re a DnD fan, you might want to check out the previous article listing the best DnD games for Switch.
Or if you want to stick with Baldur’s Gate 3, we have plenty of guides covering the game, like the Shadowheart Romance Guide, the guide on how to romance Lae’zel and much more. Just search for “Baldur’s Gate 3” to see them all.
Or just head over to Steam and get the game.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
This is one of the best RPGs of all time, in my opinion, and an amazing option when it comes to a complete Dungeons & Dragons experience on your laptop or PC.
This turn based RPG game has been around for a few years already, but despite this, I still want to mention it here as it’s still a great play and it has aged really well. And if you haven’t tried it yet, you MUST do it!
I could go as far as saying that once you start playing this game, you will never feel the need for another D&D-like one for a long time!
You can grab the game on Steam.
For the King 2
Battle against Fahrul’s tyrannical Queen alone or as a party of four players in the sequel to For The King, the massively popular turn-based roguelite RPG.
While you definitely can’t go wrong playing the first game in the series, the sequel rises up to the expectations and I recommend starting with it if you haven’t played the original.
Despite the more cartoony visuals, FtK2 is actually a very solid, in-depth game for Dungeons & Dragons fans and it will keep you busy for hours.
You can check out the game over on Steam.
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew
While this might not be for every DnD fan out there due to its Caribbean setting and piratey-theme, it remains a solid RPG with plenty of tactics, strategy and characters to grow and explore the world with.
In other words, a great choice too if you’re more into stealth and the pirate theme doesn’t bother you.
Check it out on Steam.
Stolen Realm
Stolen Realm is a simultaneous turn-based tactical dungeon crawling looter with action RPG elements where you control up to 6 heroes, solo or through online co-op, venturing forth in adventures set in a high-fantasy, low-poly world.
You get an interesting mixture of Divinity: Original Sin and fast-paced gameplay, with the co-op version being an interesting addition, allowing players to drop in or out whenever they feel like, without influencing the game’s progress.
With a highly customizable class system, Stolen Realm allows you to create traditional RPG classes or break the mold to forge a unique champion of your own as you draw from a pool of hundreds of possible skills. Definitely worth trying.
You can check it out on Steam.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Enhanced Plus Edition
Technically a variation of D&D 3.5, Pathfinder Kingmaker offers deep customization, both turn-based and real-time combat, and a blend of adventure and region-management.
It is the first isometric party-based computer RPG set in the Pathfinder fantasy universe, staying true to old hardcore games like the original Baldur’s Gate titles, Fallout 1 and such.
The game is available on Steam.
Vagrus – The Riven Realms
Embark on a perilous journey across a realm forsaken by the gods and devastated by an arcane cataclysm.
Accompanied by a hardy crew, you must trade, fight, and explore your way to success as the leader of a traveling company in this story-driven RPG.
If you also play the classic Dungeons & Dragons version, make sure to also read my previous article sharing the best DnD Dice Sets for the game.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
This 2021 game features recognizable heroes from R.A. Salvatore’s novels: Drizzt Do’Urden, Catti-brie, Wulfgar, and Bruenor Battlehammer.
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Salvatore’s novels, but I still enjoyed playing the game – so it’s a great choice for everybody.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is action-oriented, perfect for co-op play, and deeply rooted in the Forgotten Realms setting. Without going too deep with the RPG element, it’s still an enjoyable play.
DragonHeir: Silent Gods
If you’re looking for a free-to-play experience, this is it! Dragonheir: Silent Gods is an open-world high-fantasy RPG that puts you in control of over 200 heroes, recently receiving a DnD makeover.
You can also encounter various puzzles, enemies, and allies that will challenge your skills and creativity. You can use dice to influence your actions, such as stealing, trading, fighting, or persuading.
The game features a branching story that adapts to your choices and actions, making every exploration unique and cinematic. And since it’s free to play, things are even better.
Click here to check it out on Steam.
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms
We’re sticking to the free to play formula with a game that’s not exactly what you might expect from a DnD RPG, while being as Dungeons & Dragons as possible – as impossible as it might seem.
The thing is that you have to try it (I repeat: it’s a free idle game) and you’ll see what I mean.
You unlock Champions from across the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse, master each Champion’s formation abilities and adventure through cities like Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and Baldur’s Gate – to name just a few.
Now, I think it starts to make sense why this free idle game is VERY Dungeons & Dragons, and a great choice to play on PC.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
A sequel to Kingmaker (recommended above), this game improves on its predecessor with various new mechanics and a brand new story line.
Explore the nature of good and evil, learn the true cost of power, and rise as a Mythic Hero capable of deeds beyond mortal expectations.
Its complex systems make it a perfect choice for veterans and power-gamers. Check it out on Steam.
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2
Yes, I know that these games are pretty old, but I still wanted to feature them because they’re among the absolute best D&D games ever made and can be considered landmarks without a doubt.
I recommend grabbing the enhanced editions of the games for a bit of a visual upgrade. Remember, these games are over two decades old, and even though they have aged well… they’re still old.
It’s worth playing them, though, if you are a Dungeons & Dragons fan and if you haven’t played them already.
Baldur’s Gate 1 can be found on GoG, while Baldur’s Gate 2 is available on Steam too.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
Going deep into the hardcore mechanics, Solasta uses the SRD for D&D 5.1 ruleset, offering a faithful adaptation with good character customization.
As you play, you’ll feel yourself reaching for your dice and miniatures. But at the same time, it will be a completely different (and much improved, I might add) experience compared to a traditional tabletop game.
Check out the game on Steam.
Tower of Time
Tower of Time is a tactical RPG with a unique story and complex, real-time combat system that slows down or pauses the action for tactical decisions.
It offers flexible character development and will certainly be a delight to Dungeons & Dragons fans out there, despite being a few years old.
Check out the game on Steam.
Knights of Pen and Paper Series
We actually have three games in the series, but have in mind that the 3rd has received some pretty harsh reviews.
I personally like all the games in the series, with Knights of Pen and Paper 2 being my favorite of the bunch.
While all the games look a bit more casual and much like a mobile game in my opinion, they are still really good and go in-depth with the D&D mechanics.
These are actually the only games on the list that involve having an actual dungeon master. Pretty cool!
You can get the games on Steam: Knights of Pen and Paper 1, Knights of Pen and Paper 2 and Knights of Pen and Paper 3.
Darkest Dungeon 1 & 2
Another series that’s a bit different from your regular RPG adaptation of DnD mechanics, Darkest Dungeon is still extremely addictive, nice and challenging.
A roguelike adventure that challenges you to create a party from all sorts of misfits, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last gasp quest to avert the apocalypse.
It’s really a different approach to the genre, but one you will surely be (surprisingly) pleased with.
Check out the games on Steam: Darkest Dungeon and Darkest Dungeon 2.
The Iron Oath
I’m rounding up the list with a more recent release – but one that I am sure will remain a great choice for years to come.
As the leader of a band of soldiers-for-hire in the harsh realm of Caelum, you’ll need to hire and customize recruits, manage your operations wisely, and embark on perilous missions in order to survive, thrive, and build your company’s renown.
Check out the game on Steam.
Honorable Mentions
These games are also perfect for DnD fans, but they are older releases and will either seem outdated to the modern player, or you’ve already played them, most likely.
