But an ingame voice chat is also planned. There's currently only a text chat for co-op gamers. Each class has its own AI that acts differently inside dungeons. Mercenaries can be created for singleplayer, but are fully AI controlled. Both potions and equipment can be crafted by the player. On Character Creation you pick your character's reason for adventuring, which present itself through the gameplay via sidequests. Missions may involve killing bounties, fetching items, solving puzzles and so forth. A single dungeon will take up approximately between 30 minutes and one hour to clear. The devs designed missions to be replayed by single and co-op players alike. There are lots of books, trinkets, notices and other references of The Dark Eye lore. Encounters and things to do within them will also change accordingly. Each dungeon room will be randomly generated. The worldmap shows half of the Middenrealms (kiiinda like West Faerûn, but not quite) The used ruleset is The Dark Eye 5th edition, but somewhat simplified. Whenever the final build gets more or not is unknown. There's currently little to no voice acting. The game itself plays similar to a Baldur's Gate 1 clone, apparently. Especially dungeon textures and character models.

Graphics have been objectively enhanced since last year. The developers have targeted a singleplayer campaign of 20-ish hours. Meaning some things are bound to change in the final release. They had the chance to play a bit of the pre-release build 0.9.8 (more precisely through the tutorial and two missions). So, for me personally, Spring 2020 can't come soon enough!Īnother video from the German gamer channel Orkenspalter TV. The last videogame that came close to that imho was Drakensang: The River of Time. Watch the designer Interview for moreĪll in all it seems to follow the classic German PnP Tabletop game rather closely. but most importantly: it is neither a Diablo clone, nor an action RPG.also, there will be no toolset or level editor.the developer plans to have post-release DLC content.


has 4 playable races (Dwarves, Elves, Half-Elves and Humans).Encounters can be dealt with in more ways than merely battle them.its combat will be isometric RTwP in singleplayer mode and RT in Coop.Which doesn't come as a surprise, given that it has only been two weeks since they announced the game on Saturday 10th August in Ratcon Limburg roleplaying game convention, Germany. Not much is known about this cRPG other than what was shown in its announcement trailer and the informations written on its steam page. It is currently being developed by Random Potion and published by Wild River Games. So you may relate to how surprised I was when I found out about this upcoming title: Been a long while since we had any kind of worthwhile The Dark Eye/Das Schwarze Auge videogame.
