    This is a re-rating after the fixes the devs have done. I think we have a playable game on our hands now. Most of the nasty bugs have been fixed. The game is brutally difficult in a good way. A wrong move could wipe out your party, but risk taking can also result in ample rewards. True to their word, the developers stuck with this game and fixed it up. They even threw in a free DLCThis is a re-rating after the fixes the devs have done. I think we have a playable game on our hands now. Most of the nasty bugs have been fixed. The game is brutally difficult in a good way. A wrong move could wipe out your party, but risk taking can also result in ample rewards. True to their word, the developers stuck with this game and fixed it up. They even threw in a free DLC for our patience. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a good game. But it is definitely no longer a disaster.… Expand

    A forced remake of that great RPG game. You'll be fine, if you just buy the original title.

    Issues - this is the keyword that helps understand this game. Treat this as a fair warning against all that you can find in Realms of Arcania: Blade of Destiny HD. The original game (without the "HD") is a much more enjoyable product. Don't buy this horrendous conversion, but simply find the predecessor. Blade of Destiny AD 1992 is a hard and coarse game with issues, but at least it gives the impression that the developers knew what they were doing.

    In defence of Crafty Studios, they have been proactive in patching, but Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny seems a long way off of being playable quite yet. Save your nostalgia, start learning the German language, and pray to Cromm that things turn around quickly.
