Journey into the Darkness at the Official "Demonicon" Web Site

Bracknell, UK, 18th, 2012 - Kalypso Media today unveiled the official web site for The Dark Eye - Demonicon, the upcoming third person action-RPG for consoles and Windows PC. The new site, available at http://worldofdemonicon.com, offers game info, new screens and trailers that showcase the dark world of The Dark Eye - Demonicon, and its insidious inhabitants.

Visit the official The Dark Eye - Demonicon web site here.

The Dark Eye - Demonicon is a thrilling action-RPG set in the extraordinarily popular universe of "The Dark Eye," a richly crafted fantasy world beloved by fantasy gamers throughout the world.

The Dark Eye - Demonicon tells the tragic story of a brother and sister who become pawns of sinister forces in a world of cruelty and depravity. In this bleak yet magical world, their affection is both a blessing and a curse. Both are constantly threatened by mortal danger and demonic temptation, and must find a way through their tortured lives by facing serious moral decisions. Their common destiny will determine that of the entire continent, and will be decided by the choices they make. Hordes of fiends block their way to freedom and peace, and only through battle and magic they will truly become free of the darkness.​

The site features a bunch of new screenshots, among other things.

Achtung, Krauts! Gamersglobal tested this game recently: http://www.gamersglobal.de/angetestet/demonicon?page=0,1

Looks like a Twitcher clone, I'd rather have my Drakensang 3

 

[CappenVarra]

Just say no to action RPGs?

 

[Shannow]

Wut? I thought this had been cancelled long ago... Or I simply hoped it had been cancelled after I saw where it was going after the first few promising sceen shots...?

Uses the Arcania engine. Gives MEh as inspiration for a CINEMATIC experience. Promises lots of cut-scenes. Character system has little to do with DSA. Combat has nothing to do with DSA. Combat sounds like being somewhere between Diablo, The Witcher 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur. Will have mostly grey morality choices like The Witcher.
Can't say I'm looking forward to this.

The DSA/The Dark Eye games used to rock

It has become The Derp Eye.

Demonicon GDC demo:

Seems like a mix of Game of Thrones RPG and The Witcher. Except in this game you supposedly can bang your sister.

Ey...

EDIT: The people talking are morons

 

[Zed]

Hahahahaha. "Derp."

 

[tuluse]

Does that armor actually have flaps that fold down to reveal her cleavage?

 

[Jaesun]

Yet another shitty console action game to ignore.

Thank you Kickstarter. <3

 

[Stabwound]

It looks like a shittier version of Dragon Age 2, and I guess that's at least an accomplishment.

Even when it comes to DSA there are better alternatives available - Blackguards or the Chains of Satinav sequel.

[undecaf]

Hahahahaha. "Derp."

Maybe she "wants to be a dragon" too.

 

[Zed]

she's questing for a push-up bra.

Cool, will only erm... test for buying purposes if I can play as female.

 

[Azrael the cat]

And the competition has truly begun. Dark Eye just kicked Bioware's GLBT inclusiveness out of the park by going for an incest angle (actually FEAR 1 pretty much out-does even the worst of the Japanese games, but it's all backstory, though directly relevant to the motivations of everyone involved) - having said that FEAR 2 ends up with the main character getting raped, so that hurdle has already been leaped). What Bioware will do to one-up this is beyond my imagination. It's only a matter of time before the Japanese rape-hentai manufacturers will be staring at western game concepts in horror.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

What about tastefully done rape? Since it's a world of cruelty and depravity, there should be some.

Also, I wish someone would make seriously dark, cruel and depraved cRPG. So cruel and depraved that it would eat brains of gamers like worms.

 

[MicoSelva]

The Dark Eye RPGs are getting progressively worse*. Someday someone will take this franchise to the edge of the forest, make it dig out a grave for itself and and put it out of its misery with a shot to back of the head.

*with the exception of River of TIme

 

[abnaxus]

This game will be the popamole cousin of Blackguards. I don't really mind it, both have official Dark Eye license and Demonicon seems to be true to the lore too.

Soldier in above screenshot is from Rondra Church (Ypollitaner) who freed Warunk under leadership of Ayla von Schattengrund.

 

[Roguey]

It looks like a shittier version of Dragon Age 2, and I guess that's at least an accomplishment.

This is a single character action game, what an odd comparison to make. It looks more to me like an extraordinarily brown, low budget Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

 

[LESS T_T]

 

[Zed]

LESS T_T I spent like half an hour photoshopping boob-flaps and retarded eyes on a female shepard but I couldn't top the original 'Demonicon' derp so I binned it.
