DSA = license to print money?

Short to me: I know "The Dark Eye" since the initial release in the 1980s. Unfortunately, I had professional and family-related expose sometimes a few years. But sat down always with the adventures and the game world apart.

In the press Demonicon was hailed as a worthy successor of the Drakensang series, of which I am passionate. From my perspective, the Drakensang series is a good implementation of the DSA Spielmeachanik for PC. Is also that played with a four-party, working together in different Chara Tere, the game idea of ​​DSA (and other pen & paper games) very comes close. So I was very excited about Demonicon.

But what was delivered here by the developers? The Spielmeachanik will not even approach the player tries to bring near. There is no console or other insight into the game, so just succeeded in an attack and the other not. Pushed particularly sour is my "talent samples". One example is "Pfanzenkunde" called: If the character has reached a certain level in this talent, all the plants can be harvested up to this level (the plants are associated with Demonicon "Harvest levels"). What then the properties are still needed?

The game world Dere, and here the Shadowlands with the "liberated" city Warunk, are otherwise quite consistent in the game. That the character played but compiles a catechism for Borbarad Church or maybe not, is not for me within the game world comprehensible. It is instigated within the church almost a reformation. But what is it? Will there be the following adventure of the DSA editorial it? How Demonicon is situate within the timeline of DSA? Questions, questions. From the DSA editorial should be times nachgeguckt critical thing under the label "DSA - Das Schwarze Auge" is published, are viewed.

The remaining criticisms of the game, such as the linear course, and the use ended technique, I do not want to repeat here.

What remains is the presentation, the Promo-adventure "Mutterglück", the artbook and soundtrack.
This time I'm short:
- Featuring: Nice
- Sondtrack: best suitable for their own game nights for a suitable atmosphere.
- Promo-Adventure: As a side adventure well used (if according fashioned)
- Artbook: Well ... just artbook, either you like it or not.

Conclusion: For a price above 30 euros I would not want to buy it. For this, the game is (because that is my motivation to buy) to just knit and the technical possibilities not programmed accordingly.
