United Front Gaming - "Kalypso Previewed The Dark Eye-Demonicon!"I was invited to a press event showing off Kalypso’s newest offering in the action RPG genre, The Dark Eye: Demonicon. I was able to watch the dev team play the game and have them show off some important parts of the game and it’s gameplay.
For those not familiar with the The Dark Eye the best way to describe it is this. Know how Dungeons & Dragons is the top role playing game worldwide? Well in Germany The Dark Eye is the top role playing game and that is what The Dark Eye: Demonicon is based on.
More information.I’m sure I’ve said it once before, but I’m saying it again anyway- one of the best things about my job is getting to talk with developers about their games. It’s always great to get some insight into their creative process. It’s even better when these chats are accompanied with gameplay footage of an upcoming title. Recently I had the opportunity to witness a preview of Kalypso Media’s The Dark Eye – Demonicon. Featuring a dark fantasy world and interesting RPG elements, I couldn’t wait to see what Kalypso had in store for gamers!
For those that don’t know, Demonicon is the first game based on The Dark Eye, one of the biggest pen and paper RPGs in German speaking countries (and beyond). What’s great is that even though the video game utilizes the lore found in the original game, it’s made so that newcomers can follow along without getting lost. The preview I watched started with a brief introduction to Demonicon’s world and how it ties in to the greater Dark Eye universe. The game follows the story of Cairon (the main character) and his sister Calandra, as they struggle with demonic forces. Cairon, for instance, can use dark magic to battle monsters in the Shadowlands in order to save those in need. At the same time, the corruptive nature of the dark magic is slowly turning him into something wicked.
