As said in other reviews, the game is *very* dated. No tool tips. If you alt-tab to view the manual, when you try and alt-tab back, the dosbox is no longer full screen (it comes out to about the size of a youtube video).
After more than about 10 minutes playing, the game starts to get jumpy.
It's good if you want to see what the older generation had to deal with when playing older style video games (up hill, both ways).
I can't comment to the quality of the story\/quests\/etc - the game itself is pretty much unplayable.. DosBox hasn't been setup to run this game particularly well. Games goes slow after a while.. Realms of Arkania (RoE)
The series is an interesting oldie, not saying it isn't good, just that it is interesting.
More for the older RPG gamers, and those that enjoy the older style CRPG's.
Worthy for the collection.

I should elaborate on my review.
A must with this game is a copy of the Game Handbook\/Manual, as it will explain and clarify a vast amount of information with the game and gameplay.
Also with this game is the combat, you need to spend quite a bit of time with it before it not only makes sense but you understand how it flows (It may a seem confusing on the entry level)

***. I see Blade of Destiny as a preview to the main adventure -second part of the trilogy Star Trail where lots of secrets and suprizes awaits you.Blade of Destiny just shows you some game mechanics , plus you can train and test your heroes in oder to import them to the next part of the trilogy.Still it is a fun game to start on your introduction in the Arkania world.
A bit late , but i reccomend to edit - dosboxrealms1.conf - this file can be found in the game directory, few lines have to be changed: scaler=advmame2x ; cycles=18000 . scaler makes picture a bit softer and 18000 cycles looks like the optimal speed.. Usually I have no problem with poor graphics and retro games. BUT the town view is too poor and handling brakes the game\u00b4s charm. ~5 Textures for buildings in town view overall and no way to see what building you are next to in the area map that shows ~6 colored boxes for house categories but nothing else is a joke. You are in a town, you have an area map, you have NO IDEA where to go even if you know the building you are supposed to look for in your quest because
a) the map won\u00b4t tell you and doesn\u00b4t allow movement in map mode to use the try & error method faster
b) all buildings look the same
. If you wanna spend $4 just to see how poorly the RPG world was back in the early 90s, then this is the game for you. It maps poorly, the interface is all over the place, and the melee combat and spell options are absolutely unusable.
One small example, is you can only fire, attack or cast spells in vertical or horizontal directions; no diagonal options.
I found it frustrating and a waste of good money, but you may see things differently and it'll only cost you $4 to find out :-)
