Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny

aged well

insgesamt langweilig und nicht gut. kann es nicht empfehlen.

Decent remake of a classic game. Smooth, easy game play and enduring characters make this remake as good as the original.

Ich würde dem Spiel 7 von 10 Punkte geben. Fans der alten Nordlandtrilogie werden auf ihre Kosten kommen und durch die DLCs wurden viele schöne zusätzliche Quests hinzugefügt, die den Spielspaß erhöhen. Auch wenn mir diese Neuauflage der Schicksalsklinge sehr gut gefallen hat, würde ich dem ursprünglichen Spiel aus 1992 den Vorzug geben (jedoch vermutlich nur aus Nostalgiegründen). Einige Bugs in Zusammenhang mit der DLC-Erweiterung für die Ereignisse während der namenlosen Tage sind sehr nervig (Shops bleiben auch nach den Namenlosen Tagen geschlossen). Hier hilft nur das Laden eines alten Spielstandes.

With some tweaks this is now nearly the game it ought to be and if u love the original trilogy or want to have a look give it a shot.

Too Long to Take a Chance Objective Review 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great game-play. 4 of 5 great story average game-play. 3 of 5 average story great game-play. 2 of 5 give it a go only if it's you're favourite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do, 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Realms of Arcania: Blade of Destiny score is 2 of 5. Subjective Review I really like this kind of game. Actually, that statement doesn't really apply here because there are very few, if any, like it. I mean, how many games have you played where your characters need to sleep with a blanket, wear proper attire when it's snowy or raining, and if you don't, your party members could catch the sniffles, that in time, if not properly cared for, could die of pneumonia or some other such sickness? I would dare to write that there are no other games that do such. You can turn such off in this remake to make your adventuring easier, and it becomes very similar in this respect to many other RPG's. But leave it on and you're introduced to a very realistic adventure... again, in this aspect. But after about 60 hours of play, I decided to not continue because of the possibility, after reading reviews, that due to programming conflicts, or not having the correct party members/or stats, weapons/or armour, I may not be able to complete the game. One might think that after 60 hours I should keep going as I must be close to the end, but no, I believe I may be a quarter of the way through. I don't want to invest any more time if it's going to end up being fruitless. The absolute terrible narration/voice acting and clunky mechanics didn't help either. Other than that, I do believe gamers of today should give it a try just to experience a really good old-fashioned RPG.

Genial!!!

Super Remake

I love a good RPG. Might not be a patch on the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series, but is a good early years rendition that is still an enjoyable outing. It's the usual fair: choose your party; either with pre-designed characters or create your own. Your choice of characters may or may not influence how you fair in the Realm of Arkania. Then off you trot. Ask about, get clues, and obtain quests. As you progress the storylines you will develop each party character when they gain enough experience. The upgrade options are many and can at 1st be quite daunting if your not a seasoned RPG player. Like all RPG there is a lot of pick-up and delivery to progress through the game, but that's what we sign up for. I've got the other two offerings in the Realm of Arkania trilogy and looking, very much, forward to dipping my toe in there soon.

Sehr netter Versuch, die alte Trilogie in dieser netten Art aufleben zu lassen. Aber für mich geht nur das Original!!! (mit Käsetoast)! ;)
