Evaluation

Realms of Arkania 1 - Blade of Destiny Classic is a 2014 re-release of the original 1992 DOS game. It launched on January 10, 2014, and the only post-launch developer activity was the addition of Mac and Linux builds on March 14, 2014. There has been no developer communication of any kind since that date — over 12 years ago. The store description makes no mention of planned updates, DLC, or additional content, and there are no DLC listings. This game launched as a complete, self-contained classic game with no post-launch content cycle. The developer has not announced any future content, and the development history shows a single platform expansion shortly after launch followed by complete silence. The game is done.

About this game

Blade of Destiny (1992) is the first part of the glorious Realms of Arkania Trilogy...

An Orc army stands ready to attack Arkania's villages and towns. The only hope of saving the land lies in the legendary Blade of Destiny. Can you find this magical weapon in time to stop the siege? A rich and detailed adventure that will engage your mind and challenge your imaginations.

The Realms of Arkania Trilogy

The Realms of Arkania games (Blade of Destiny, Star Trail and Shadows of Riva) deliver a prime example of the classical European fantasy universe. Based on Germany's most popular pen & paper role playing game, it was also the first German computer RPG series to get widely recognized outside of its home country. To this day it holds a stable hardcore fanbase that loves the games for their comprehensive adaption of the pen & paper ruleset and the believable medieval fantasy setting.
