Realms of Arkania: Star Trail

Product received for free With Fate BLADE HD, Crafty Studios have proven with a lot of perseverance that they can turn a fiasco (Version 1.0) into an appealing and worthy Remake (Version 1.36) of a DSA classic, and thus the "right" Escape icklers for these Types of Computer Games. With Sternschweif HD, they have now taken another big Step in the right Direction. Numerous improvements have been installed COMPARED to the Previous Schick HD. To name a few:-Significantly nicer Avatars for Heroes and NPCs-You can now see the worn equipment directly on the hero avatar-The turn-based Combat System has been expanded to include targeted (ranged) attacks-A completely new, modern and substantially reduced User Interface has been installed. -Own notes on the Ambient Maps are now possible. -You can create your own Diary Entries. -The Keyword Dialogue System of the Classic game has been implemented. -There are new Spell Settings (also on Elfisch)-There are set hero comments and welcome announcements from Dealers, Consecrated, etc.-Massively advanced Soundscape (E.g. inventory sounds, Ground-dependent step Sounds, dungeon ambients)- The original soundtrack has been remastered and sounds even better than it used to, in my Opinion. -The major Cities in the Game are visually very different from each other. In Schick HD, the Cities were very similar in Terms of Houses, etc. -Further Spells have been introduced that did not yet exist IN Fate Blade HD ("Hard Melt," "Transversalis Teleport")-The Character Classes have been more differentiated by having specific Features (E.g. Armor Acclimatization). Cold Resistance). -There are now atmospheric Class Description texts. It is Also positive to note that various "Dead ends" of the Classic star tail have been removed or intercepted by Car Saves. The Frustration Factor is thus kept within tight Limits. Furthermore, almost all Villages, which were originally traded by Text Boxes, are now accessible as 3D cities. In my opinion, the Phex Temple in Tiefhusen is Also an Improvement, because it has been completely reworked into a Puzzle Dungeon. Thus, many Criticisms of the old Phex temple no longer apply to the new one. Another Plus for Starseeing HD IS the Fact that the Game is extremely Modding-friendly. In this Respect, compared to Fate BLADE HD, another Shot was packed on it. Whether it's own Character portraits, self-created Avatars for NPCs, New Events in Cities or Traveling, Changing dealer ranges, Creating new Items, opponents and Fights-all of that and much more is purely possible and easy to learn via XML. It is also Exemplary that the Crafties have built up an extensive modding wiki to Make it easier for Modders to Get started. All in all, Sternschweif HD-despite a few remaining Bugs-is an all-round successful Remake of one of my previous Favourite Games. I can fully recommend it to anyone who likes classic Role-playing Games and can live with-by today's Standards-mediocre graphics. You will certainly get at least 60 hours of Role-playing Fun Here for about €30. In any case, I am already looking forward to Shadows about Riva HD, which will surely come with a commercial Success of Sternschweif HD. Please do not forget that a 2-Man team with a busy budget was or still is at Work here.
