It's an old fashioned RPG following the traditions of isometric view, point-and-click controls, and pausing the action with the good ol' spacebar. It's based on a German tabletop game known as The Dark Eye, and the property already has a sizeable fanbase, with the game aimed squarely at pleasing them, while hoping to draw in gamers who aren't so into the direction more recent RPGs have headed."
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.
