Hidden gem
[Retailversion] So, finally! The devs were big fans of the sourcematerial (The Black Eye, a german Tabletop-Classic from the 80s, kinda like D&D) and crafted a beautiful game here. Its a great old-school RPG that will be worth your time and money. The game can be rough and hard at times, so keep an eye on skills, talents and classes. But if you start to figure it out, it feels rewarding. Kinda like the first Dragon Age if you will. A modern german classic.
The game is set in the world of THE BLACK EYE on the continent Aventuria. Your adventure revolves around the city of Ferdok. The world is fully fleshed out, with a lot of history and lore behind it. You move via a map, so its not open world, but it does not need to be.
I replayed it like 2 years ago on Win10 and it worked like a charme and i had a lot of fun. Srsly! The look maybe a bit stiff nowadays, but still charming. Sound, music, story, world... Just perfect. Still sad about the fact, that this game was so underlooked back then.
Make sure to check out the sequel "The river of time".
