What Gamespot Users have to say about Drakensang: The Dark Eye
- Rating:8
Drakensang may be unashamedly generic, but the game mechanics work well and it's fun to play. What more could you want?
Drakensang is a party-based sword and sorcery RPG, in a similar tradition to D&D games like Baldur's Gate 2 or Neverwinter Nights 2. Basically, if you're a fan of the CRPG tradition, then you can be confident that you'l... Read Full Review

Fun, old school, RPG with updated graphics and sound
If you enjoy old school CRPGs like Might and Magic, Wizardry, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, etc. you should enjoy this one. Other than the new graphics this game has very old school CRPG feel to it. With the always ... Read Full Review

Game, set, MATCH!
If you like long games that have a rewarding story, you like quests that involve playing the detective and much (much!) killing, in beautiful environments, this is a game you should play. You can control up to 4 party... Read Full Review

Amazing value for 29$. Oldschool RPG, NWN-like. System Similar to D&D. Great graphics. Stimulating tactical combats.
This is the closest to oldschool pen and paper role playing game I played in a long while. It uses The dark Eye, which is a combat / skill system similar to D&D but different. I enjoyed discovering this new system, which... Read Full Review

Run of the mill game that will excite NWN 2 junkies. Otherwise nothing new under the sun.
It might be a tad unfair to denounce a game based on playing the demo, but since the demo is supposed to sell the game, you might expect it sells it's best qualities. If not, the marketers should be shot for the demo cer... Read Full Review

I tried...I really did...but no go
RPG games can often take time to develop and become fun right? So I gave this game over 20 hrs and still found nothing worthwhile. Killing rats is an old standard for starting off a standard RPG...but after 10 hrs of ... Read Full Review

It's a must for any rpg gamer. Lush and detailed environments, good animation, just amazing...
When i first got this, i thought, "well i'm going to try it but somehow reminds me a few rpg's i've tried before." But as soon as i dedicated into it, at last a worthy rpg. You see there's nothing quite new, but you'... Read Full Review

Starts off easy and somewhat monotonous, but if you stay with it, you'll be rewarded by a fascinating, challenging RPG.
For awhile I was on the verge of quitting the game and putting it on the "discarded" shelf. The beautiful graphics held me somewhat, though, and the thought that a game with such a complex character/stat system just *had... Read Full Review

A classic RPG with many great traits but not used to a 100% potential.
As people might have known by now, this is based off a German pen and paper engine thats highly popular. I have never played it but if its as complex as this games adaptation then I could see why its so popular. First of... Read Full Review
