    The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes Review - Not An Epic Tale

    The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes treads the well-worn path of the isometric RPG, but doesn't manage the excitement or storytelling to make it work.

    Dungeons and Dragons has consistently held the top spot when it comes to video game adaptations of tabletop games. Its various settings have been ported to the video game world dating back to the 1980s, while acclaimed games like Baldur's Gate sit as classics of the RPG genre. That's not to say that Dungeons and Dragons is the only tabletop game to make it into video games, with The Dark Eye another example.

    The Dark Eye is a tabletop game most popular in Germany, and the setting of Aventuria is one that will feel familiar to fantasy fans. It's full of goblins, elves, and dwarves, with forests to explore and treasures to plunder. However, The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes won't do much to excite RPG players.

    [...]

    In short it's hard to recommend The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes, as it can't quite justify its place in the market when compared to other RPGs. Although there are nuggets of fun to be found here and there in its dungeon crawling, its lack of complex gameplay and step back from storytelling stops it from being a required purchase, particularly when there are cheaper, older games that provide a more impressive overall package.

    Score: 2/5
