Truly the most off base and unfair review of a quality game I have ever seen. I have played RPGs since well before Baldur’s Gate and Drakensang was very entertaining all the way to the end. Ignore this guy. His opinion truly blows.

NICE REVIEW !!! This game is 2 hard, i played whit all the classes ( for the first 20 minutes ) and they all suck. I managed 2 pass the first city and after, when i go in the swamp it’s really really really hard, u get wiped every 10 minutes …
Now you have 2 ask your self if the guys that made this game intended on you to finish the fucking game or not …
Now i installed the game again and and will try 2 finish the god dam thing, BUT plz if u have any advice on what class and skills i should use plz tell me

P.s. Before any of you start saying i don’t know how to play RPGs like that asshole Apopas did whit the review guy, plz note i played allot of grate RPGs like : Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout 3, The Witcher, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion ( and III ), Risen, Mass Effect, Neverwinter Nights 2 ( and 1 ), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ( and 2 ), Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, TorchLight, Fable and much much more and this are just on the PC.

I got this game for five dollars at deal on D2D. What a bargain. I would be willing to pay 29.99. I am 23 hours into main quest and only about a 1/3 through the main story line. THis is a learning curve but only at the beginning. I love the fact that I can change up my party of four and go with three tanks one healer, or mix it up and have tank, dps, buffer and healer. You have great ability to change the base stats of your characters as you progress them. The story line had drawn me in. I am a fan of oblivion, Fallout, old SNES RPG. Never played baulders gate. If you want a fun and story driven RPG give it a try. In regards of the reviewer of course this is a cliche fantasy based game and I don’t see a problem with that. Is it no differend than playing a new COD game every year?

As it happens, he’s right. The game is very dull to start with, and very unfriendly to new players, and obviously not the best RPG in the world. In the other hand, it doesn’t have to be. Drakensang is ok, but the miss streaks that can happen… kinda often, is very annoying (I began playing it after a very late night, sleep deprived, and kinda went angry German kid a couple of times, no pun intended. Anyway, don’t be pissed because he’s etlling the truth in this review, sure he only seem to point out the crappy side of the game, and maybe he didn’t give it a real chance, but from a professional view Drakensang is not a great game.

My only complain about Drakensang is that the characters move fairly slowly around the map…but other than that it is a pretty good game. Note that this is a game for people who have played this type of RPG’s before…I think that I prefer the old D&D ruleset over the DSA though…

PS : That review was a biased piece of shit.

Review of someone who doesn’t understand the underlying rule system, and probably hasn’t even bothered to try to understand the TDE rule system (I thought it shipped with the game as a PDF file ?).

Most information would have been available through right-clicking on objects – even on character stats. I thought this would have been stated in the handbook, too.

Some remarks leave in me the impression that the reviwer tried to play this game without the use of any kind of healing talents at all. Not to mention protection abilities, armor and such stuff.

On the other hand, a review of an (A)D&D RPG played by someone unfamiliar with the (A)D&D rule system could look similar.

What a horrible review. Why put a reviewer who doesn’t even like RPGs to review a RPG? Now I’m not referring to streamlined, easy to get into, so called “RPG”-games like Mass Effect (which I loved btw) but more like D&D-games that requires you to THINK before you rush into your death.

Games like Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale are also hard to get in to, in those you die all the time as well. And although BG II is fairly difficult from the beginning to the end it still is one of the best games ever made and one of the most loved…

Horrible Review

You not have played this title but only look the photo or trailer.
Learn to play, lear to write review.

Oh wait.. So you’re disagreeing with a review for a game that you haven’t even played?

That’s… horrible

Just a horrible review. This should be reviewed by someone who has at least played Baldur’s Gate, to even have a clue as to how the combat system works. Also, you seem to highlight your incompetence with playing this sort of game rather than the game’s faults. To anyone here reading these comments after having read this review, please go to a game review aggregator and find some competent reviews on this game. This reviewer was beyond awful. Note: I am not a fanboy and don’t even own the game. But am reading reviews to get a feel for it, and this review was sincerely pathetic.

So he didn’t like it. Who cares. I thought it was fun, well worth 29 bucks and made the delay of Dragon Age Origins a little easier. He was comparing this to KOTOR and ME, which may both be RPGs but are vastly different. It would be like comparing Final Fantasy to the Elder Scrolls. A 74 on metacritic for a german RPG is pretty damned good. And every other review out there is above in score from this one.

Well… Maybe he’s just telling the truth, that happens with reviews sometimes.

Seriously… do you have ever played RPGs before? If no then stop review RPGs. If yes then you wasted your time with things that are not for you… Just buy a copy of Counter Strike and play, you are not for RPGs!

After reading a few reviews of the game this guy sounds like hes a bitter PC gamer gone console. ADDH maybe strong in his blood…
