Kalypso Media have released the first screenshots of their upcoming RPG The Dark Eye: Demonicon. The highly anticipated game takes place in The Shadow Lands in Aventuria “a location from the ‘Dark Eye’ universe which portrays a dark fantasy setting where demons and the undead roam free.“ The screenshots that have been released show some of the new and exciting locations as well as the game’s mysterious characters and demons.
The action-packed Killer Bundle from Bundle Stars ( http://www.bundlestars.com) has launched with 10 Steam games which are all new to bundle, and all totally awesome!
Demonicon – The Dark Eye takes you back to the dark, gritty universe of The Dark Eye. It plunges you into a foreboding tale where every decision you make has a major impact on the world and the people around you. You are given full control over every conversation, allowing you to shape your own destiny anyway you see fit.
Having played the game I have to disagree with this review strongly, especially scoring it a 5/5 for graphics! Did you not see the facial animations? The combat animations? The lack of detail? The empty, lifeless environments?
"multiple endings." It has two.
The review says choices can effect the outcome of the game. Again, not really. There's two endings, and the majority of your choices just amount to a few different lines of dialogue.
Combat is clumsy and revolves almost entirely around button mashing.
In most cases I respect opinions, but in this instance I'm finding it hard to see how anyone could award the game a 4 out of 5 when it has so many glaring flaws and problems.
Demonicon is a frustrating beast. Some great and innovative RPG customisation and story arcs occur amongst very uninspired quests and combat dynamics. Very much giving with one hand and disappointing with another, Demonicon does well in presenting a competent RPG adventure but falls short on areas where it matters the most.
Hmmm, I wonder if we are related. My eyes glow in the dark too!
Dark fantasy you say, i wonder if it will stand a chance come skyrim time
Looks good actually.
Reminds me a little of the first Witcher.
