While our continental cousins don't churn out top-notch hits in quite the same quantity as our friends in North America and Japan, occasionally left-of-field titles from Europe can sneak in and surprise all by being far bigger and far better than anyone might have predicted. Eidos certainly seem convinced that dtp's new RPG, Drakensang, is something a bit special, and have duly signed-up to publish the game beyond its Germanic homeland.
Nerd Rock from the Sun writes: "There are only two rules right now, but I might make up others as I go along.
"First, I need to really role-play my character — as best as I can, at least.
"Second, if the character dies he (or she) stays dead, because that’s just how life is. No reloads whatsoever. Which might make for a very short or a very long game, depending on how things go."
dtp Entertainment has revealed that ValuSoft will be releasing a "Complete Saga" bundle pack that includes Drakensang: The Dark Eye, Drakensang: The River of Time, and Drakensang: Philleason's Secret.
Kalypso Media has announced that Demonicon will be using German pen-and-paper roleplaying game The Dark Eye's sourcebook and ruleset, and will be renamed The Dark Eye: Demonicon. The Dark Eye has long been the German equivalent of Dungeons & Dragons, debuting in 1984.
