Amiga Format
It's certainly a game that will take a long time to solve, and it's challenging enough to make it worth coming back to. This game is the first in a trilogy, and the future for the realms of Arkania looks extremely bright...

Kurz und sehr gut, die Computer-Premiere des Schwarzen Auges ist wirklich rundum gelungen, bessere Rollenspiele kennt man allenfalls von einem Lord British. Wenn die geplante Fortsetzung nur halb so gut wird, kann man schon zufrieden sein!

It would be impossible for me to go into detail about every aspect of Blade - it really is too huge to do that adequately here. There are over 70 statistics and skill areas unique to each player. But it is safe to say that if you have ever played a computer-based RPG and felt frustrated that it did not do something that you know it should do then Blade will not frustrate you in the same way. There are limitations, after all it is governed by the coding and not by some Dungeon Master’s imagination, but it is the most comprehensive RPG ever to appear on your Amiga.

The One
The best thing you can say about Blade is that it's nothing if not thorough, so it'll no doubt cause RPG addicts to perform cartwheels. But it doesn't really make any concessions to the average gamer, which leaves the majority of us standing out in the cold.

Blades of destiny är egentligen typiskt tyskt. Det är sanslöst stort, otroligt avancerat, bedövande detaljrikt, massivt systemkrävande. Och mördande trist.
67
Amiga Power
There's little to encourage all but the most dedicated fan here.

Games Master
From what seems a very complex and rewarding RPG game system, the programmers have managed to produce a game that is neither fun, involving, exciting nor interesting. There are many better RPGs around - don't bother with this one. You'd spend longer reading the manual than playing the game.
