Despite its low budget, I have good memories of this game.

If you like the World of The Dark Eye and if you like turned based rpgs, this could be a pick for you. I prefer Drakensang 1 and 2. The game feels unfair and a bit random sometimes. But it has its pros. Since I am a fan of the world, it was interesting to see another side of it. Also every dialogue is voiced and it was motivating to spend AP to make my heroes (or antiheroes) better. The leveling system is a bit complicated, if you haven't played The Dark Eye before, be it as an RPG or a videogame. Also you get a lot of game for your money. I played more than 40 hours. I had a good time, but you have to like the world and the system enough to go through it all. They tried to make it a darker experience, with the heroes not being real heroes and the overall tone more dark fantasy. I didn't really like that choice. For me The Dark Eye is beautiful and heroic, like the Drakensang games. Also sometimes, most of all in the end, sometimes you don't actually know what exactly to do in a fight. This could be more transparent. Also the ending sucked. But hey, I had a fun time and I would recommend this game, but only for fans of The Dark Eye, who don't mind darker tones and well sometim…

there's some special mechanic, I also thought it would weigh less, 18 GB isn't bad at all, but definitely a like

My favorite series, at one time I played it on a pirate copy. But I bought it to support the developers when I had the money. Remember the games that gave you pleasure, and thank them with a ruble when you have the opportunity!
