Classic RPG Realms of Arkania is now available via Good Old Games and is, of course, completely DRM free. Based on a German pen-and-paper role-playing game, the first two parts of the trilogy - Blade of Destiny and Star Trail - are available together on the service for a mere $5.99.
The series is based on The Dark Eye, a pen-and-paper RPG recently revived in really-rather-good PC title Drakensang.
"Thanks to the collaboration between GOG and attic, we are proud to present XP and Vista compatible versions of the Realms of Arkania series in English for the first time, exclusively at GOG.com," said Jochen Hamma, Managing Director of attic Entertainment Software GmbH. "It's been a pleasure working with GOG.com as a partner, as the company is run by dedicated gamers and supports the RPG genre extensively."
James writes - "Marketed as being an old school RPG at its best, can Realms of Arkania: Star Trail deliver an experience that manages captivate a modern day audience in tandem with hooking in those wanting a blast of nostalgia?"
Neil writes: "Ready to take in a thrilling journey through the mystic lands of Aventuria? Realms of Arkania - Star Trail is now on Xbox One."
Realms of Arkania: Star Trail is the sequel to Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny. The developers put out a follow-up to the successful first game to give gamers a chance to further experience the rich lore and engaging world that they enjoyed in Blade of Destiny. A gamer is not required to play the first game to understand the basic world concept, but it does help because you have a better understanding of the history of the world since you were part of it.
The use of the touchpad on the DS4 is cool! This should be implemented more in games.
