    It's not fancy, but Drakensang: The River of Time is a well-made RPG in the tradition of the genre's classics. [July 2011, p.64]

    While The River of Time has its fair share of technical flaws, the story, and combat in the game more than make up for this. Also, the game is only $20 which helps one overlook its shortcomings. The game quietly slipped onto the market at the start of the year, which is a shame because it certainly deserves the attention of RPG fans.

    At first I was concerned when this game started slowly, but it really picked up and showed to be a surprisingly deep RPG with lots of complexity, character, and fun. Revisiting previous locations on the river brings up a whole new set of great sidequests that have you combing all over for good weapons and prizes. I'm hooked! I just finished this game. It has a very epic, satisfying ending. All those of you who like hardcore RPGs, you would like this. It's got a learning curve, but dammit this is something worth exploring. You will enjoy beating down the end boss....… Expand

    Can't say I liked this game. Graphically outdated and somewhat "pokemonish" , awkward controls, terrible voice acting and dialogs. The only reason to lay this game is to have some group-based rpg experience, as vast majority of recent titles are one-person game. Unfortunately this experience will not be of the best quality.… Expand

    Even if the game seems amazing, even if DTP support seems to be efficient, I must give a red to the game for the north-american release sold by "ST**M" (online store) as a warning to customers. Some users requested support for non-working game but received none. The reseller stipulate that his responsibility end after the download portion, which means that if the game doesn't work, they refuse to offer technical support and ask you to go to a third party support which is nonexistent since they all refuse to offer technical support because it is a "ST**M" release (reason: ST**M modify the game before releasing it to fit their needs and to attach it to your "ST**M" account and by doing so, often creates other troubles i.e.: bugs, crashes, etc). Even if the price of the download is not expensive, you might want to think twice...are you willing to take that risk and lose your hard won money?… Expand
