Last week a new gameplay trailer for The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes was released. Unlike most of the other information about the game, the in-game scenes are in English.



More information.

Looks like the first video on the Steam page. Interesting that they moved away from the old 3D RTwP look to turn-based isomorphic. Could be good. I guess we'll see.

This is the least hopeless of poor, botched Dark Eye series. Blackguards 1-2 was the only valuable contribution in this IP.

It's a matter of taste I suppose. I enjoyed the Drakensang series more than Blackguards.

Blade of Destiny > Star Trail > Drakansang 2 > Drakensang 1 > Blackguards 1 > Blackguards 2 > Demonicon.

That's my personal order.
The first two are the original 2D games. Haven't played the remakes.

It doesn't look turn based to me. At 25 seconds you can see multiple characters moving/attacking at the same time. But I am getting a strong Temple of Elemental Evil vibe which I like.

Both Drakensangs were pretty fun for me. Hunting down River of Time was a chore at release, and that was in a major city! I enjoyed both Blackguards, but far, far less, and didn't bother with Demonicon and the Arkania games I didn't play originally and are too dated for my tastes now. Wouldn't mind another third-person style D-sang game...but isometric is fine too. Feels over-used tho'.

The Problem ist that this game ist at least to my knowledge a Coop Multiplayer procedurally generated Game and No Classic RPG with a Story and plot

The Steam write-up indicates it has a "single-player mode with 8 individual storylines". I guess I'll have to see what that means. Probably I'll wait for the reviews.
