My all-time favourite RPG. Slow-paced classic gameplay in a wonderful world. Would be a great addition to the GOG library, the first Drakensang is already here.

I used to play this game back in the days a lot. The gameplay, story and world design together is pure nostalgia. For me playing this game feels like 'coming home' after hard day.
One of my favorite classic RPG games together with its predecessor. The game play may seems a bit slow compared to modern standards but therefore most of the quests are better written with better humor than in most modern games. I still have the original ROMs of both Drakensang games & the first one GOG. So why not add this too and make it easy playable again.

The first Drakensang was good, this prequel is brilliant. This is the closest I ever felt to replaying the old-school, heroic tabletop RPG's I used to love as a kid.

The follow-on to Drakensang. I found the River of Time to be more polished. It has great writing with decent graphics and combat. The world was a refreshing change from most fantasy RPGs. Character choice made a difference - play as a thief and raid the warehouse, play as a guard and stop the thieves from raiding that warehouse. The essential question for me is: Did I have fun playing the game? Yes, yes I did. I still have my disks and would love to play it again.
"Drakensang: The River of Time" is an underrated gem that deserves a place on GOG. It offers a fantastic RPG experience similar to NWN2 with a beautifully crafted world rich in lore and a unique low-magic setting based on the German "The Dark Eye" (Das Schwarze Auge) system. Since the first Drakensang is already on GOG, adding The River of Time and its expansion "Phileasson's Secret" would complete the series and allow more players to enjoy this great RPG. Hope to see it here soon! :)
