The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes is a fantasy RPG available on Steam for $30. At this point, I can not recommend the game due to its outdated graphics, clunky mechanics, boring combat and other problems.

Critic reviews
- 5.0Despite some interesting mechanics that make the game feel like a true adaptation of a tabletop RPG, The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes is a cRPG that needed a lot more time in the oven. With some technical issues to boot, it is really impossible to recommend the game in its current state to any type of RPG enthusiast, as there are classic and modern games that offer much better experiences.
- 5.0Unsurprisingly, The Dark Eye: Book of Shadows has some technical issues with crashes and mission-killing bugs, but those pale in comparison with the game’s biggest flaw: its lack of imagination or originality. I don’t think it’s a cynical cash-grab. I think that the source material might be part of the problem, coupled with the developers being satisfied with minimal presentation and coloring obsessively inside the lines.
- 5.0The mechanics are complex enough to require you to know the rule book, the world is expansive enough to have a few playthroughs, and the scope is small enough to make it manageable. However, if you have no intense interest on old-school game design or the franchise itself, I recommend you stay away – the focus on maths instead of heart and soul makes this the kind of niche game that would feel dated 10 years ago, and the end result in modern times ends up being extremely boring.
- 6.5The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes is a game that in many ways, takes the essence of a good table-top game and directly translates it into a competent, online dungeon-crawling RPG.
- 3.0Tu už ani moje motto ,,grafika je v prvom rade vecou vkusu" skrátka neobstojí. Aby som teda nechodil okolo horúcej kaše, lebo s touto hrou to naozaj nemá zmysel. Je to zlá hra. Škaredá hra. Nudná hra. Drobné svietielko nádeje v podobe zaujímavej tvorby postavy rýchlo vyhasne a po zbytok času čo hráte, zistíte, že Book of Heroes zlyháva v úplných základoch toho, čo by malo hru robiť zábavnou.
