So overall a great CE for just 25 more than the basic game, which is definitely worth the extra cost. I just say: access while still available !!

For the game itself (see also review the standard version.):
Who knows yet "Final Fantasy Tactics", "Disgaea" or the "Fire Emblem" series, which have never made it to the PC? These games offer primarily finest tactics cooking with RPG elements, the development of their own characters.
In the same vein as "Black Guards" encounters, only settled in the famous "Das Schwarze Auge" universe.

In this adventure, our main character is wrongly accused of the murder of a princess has to free itself from the prison and explain the truth of the fact, which he called throughout history other adventurers, all with shady past, the. Black Guards, aside . stand This plot is told in 5 more or less extensive chapters. Here Chapters 2 and 4 are in fact of the playing time ago very clear (about 3-5 hours) and the Chapter 1.3 and 5 load additionally next to the pretty linear plot to additional sidequests a.

You control the course of the game a more adventurous group of up to 4 characters that you can replace any other than the self-created main character as in "Dragon Age".
The main character, you can create extensive rules even after DSA, which may consist of a pool of around 9,000 points adventure skills, talents, etc. themselves and are determined extensively.
As classes however, only warriors and mages to create for individualization available. In addition to still join archers to the group or to be tinkering this award based on the adventures points themselves.
Over these 3 predefined classes does not exist.

Mainly being fought in Black Guards. These battles are classic turn-based tactics battles similar to that mentioned above "Fantasy Tactics" or "Fire Emblem": on a split in hexes map move depending Initativwerten opponents and playgroup round way and can thereby a certain number move fields, actions such as spells or ( Remote) execute attacks. The results are similar to the DSA RPG system 'diced (tracked in a switchable separate window), where all the values ​​of the equipment, characters, etc. are used. This may cause you quite often not true in pitch, so anything also plays in all, a bit random - not for everyone. Especially spells are affected, but these also have a percentage chance of success, but which can be increased with awarding points. The battles are all very challenging and the AI ​​is acting quite clever, especially on the higher difficulty the tKämpfe are partly extremely tricky. A feast for tacticians.
After the fighting, or the completion of quests you get Quest Points that can invest in the desired characters and their extensive design.
Beginners and newcomers to the DSA universe will get here the problem may be too verskillen their characters, which is also no longer be reversed in the course of the game and can result in later chapters to intractable battles (!).
The group can of course be equipped with all kinds of typical RPG and found to be purchased in stores equipment: the armor is to the waist and the different weapons all there.. A real collector's instinct as in Action RPGs is one but not experiencing the "loot" to be too low.
The story is between battles very well set to music (German!) Tells cutscenes and also in the fighting let the heroes great and sarcastic sayings (the dwarf I just say !!) that contribute to very good, dark atmosphere. Also there is the opportunity to obtain quests for other characters, if one chooses the right in the partly multiple choice answers ;-)

The graphics are quite impressive, but partly a bit dark and the battlefields can not rotate, but only back something that is a bit confusing at times.

Overall, I forgive 5 stars for the following reasons:
+ Great tactics RPG with much claim to Hobbygeneräle
+ Well-implemented DSA regulations
+ First-class setting in German with very good speakers
+ Interesting story
+ Ample opportunity to individualize their characters intensely
+ Fair price
+ Good size (about 20 hours of play)
+ Replayability through the character development
