Like any game, the more you have, the more enjoyable the experience will be. This game will require a decent system if you want to really enjoy it. If you’re looking for something new however, you probably want to avoid this game.

If you like whats been put out in this genre before, you’ll find this just as appealing. Much like the storyline, this is a classic fantasy RPG that holds its own in the sound department. It’s not terrible, but it’s not exceptional either. Having said that, there’s not a lot here to shout about. Considering it’s translated from German, they really didn’t do too bad a job. There’s the crash of metal on metal during combat, the usual voice acting from NPCs, and mysterious magical explosions.

The sounds in this game are what you’d expect. A small detraction maybe, but one to keep in mind. It would have helped had they provided a torch, a lantern, anything to light up the pathway a little better. When you’re in darkness, it’s really really dark. One other thing to note is the use of your maps. But this is not too annoying, particularly since the game shows everything else so nicely. When you’re in a building for example, sometimes it’s difficult to get a really good view. The only real hindrance is the camera angles that sometimes make the game slightly annoying. It’s no Crysis, but the graphics are definitely above average when compared to the usual games in this genre. Their glory, and the graphic magnificence shines. When you head into a cave, it feels like a cave. One of the highlights of this game are its visuals. Those who prefer more simplicity may find it frustrating and difficult to trudge through. Some people will like the level of complexity and work it as best they can. It’s kind of a double-edged sword, and Drakensang struggles with this idea throughout its entire implementation. Creating your character initially will take a while due to the game’s complexity. There are multitudes of races and professions, which is one of the compelling features.

It’s not always obvious what you should do when leveling up so it is hard to focusing a character on a clear upgrade path. Unfortunately, there are a lot of hidden elements that make customizing your skillset difficult. The table-top version (from which this game draws its origins) is actually a bit more complex than say, Dungeons and Dragons. It’s not new, and neither is its implementation.

For starters, the gameplay consists of quests, much like any other fantasy RPG. There are some good aspects, and then there are some things that could have been done better. Rating the gameplay elements of Drakensang is completely subjective. How’s Your Foursome Working? (4 out of 5) The main character gets to team up with 3 other teammates, making the usual fearsome foursome. The story is still good it’s well developed and well written. The one thing that can be said is that nothing is really lost in the translation from German to English. It’s not that it’s any more or less boring than any other title in the genre it’s just not innovative in any way. Thankfully there’s a prophecy, or he’d never get that knock. Much like Baldur’s Gate (or countless other fantasy titles), this game features a soon-to-be-known hero who is just waiting for opportunity to come knocking. The most significant area where Drakensang: The Dark Eye fails to impress is in its storyline.
