Dragon Age journeys to browsers in Flash-based tactical RPG

According to EA 2D, "The Deep Roads features character classes, talent trees, sound effects, music and user interface taken directly from Dragon Age: Origins," and that it's getting "invaluable feedback and insight on the game from members of the Dragon Age team, including Drs. Ray [Muzyka] and Greg Zeschuk]." The confines of a browser seems like an odd place to play a game from a maker of epic RPGs like BioWare but, then again, the studio recently released an iPhone title -- so we're thinking any platform's fair game. Next up: Dragon Age for graphing calculators.

Did anyone actually like Mass Effect Galaxy? I played through the first battle and uninstalled it from my Touch.
Well, I guess my netbook can run this Dragon Age...since it couldn't even run the character creator.

Like? No. But I tolerated it to learn the story, which wasn't that captivating anyway.

Yeah, I finished it. It was pretty terrible but the story was ok. I have no idea how they managed to make long loading times on a flash platform.

That is the first bad Bioware branded game I've played. Just terrible! They should have made it a choose your own adventure.

First thing I thought of was Heroes of Might and Magic.

You brought up a good point. Graphing calculators have been too long ignored as a game console.

For reference, I don't think Bioware had anything to do with this title (outside of supporting EA 2D with story/interface consulting). I believe it's just based on their IP.

Yes, it's pretty cool. Ex- Disney animator and Flash animator extraordinaire Adam Phillips ( http://www.brackenwood.net/blog/index.php/2009/10/ea-2d-game-announced.html ) as actually doing the animation in the game:
