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.
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."
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.
