The Dark Eye is Germany's best-known tabletop role-playing system, and this is the run of video games built in its world. It spans several strands: the party-based Drakensang RPGs, the magical point-and-click adventures Chains of Satinav and Memoria, and the turn-based tactics of Blackguards, all set in the same fantasy realm.
It is a games-only collection that shows how flexibly one pen-and-paper universe can be adapted, from sprawling character-building RPGs to puzzle-driven adventure and grid-based strategy. The throughline is the shared world and its lore rather than any single genre.
The The Dark Eye franchise spans 10 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
