Description

This is part two in the computer version of the trilogy based on Germany's N°1 RPG "Das Schwarze Auge", and the sequel to Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny.

The game uses an advanced version of the interface first introduced in part one. You create a party of adventurers, navigating them from first-person perspective, and entering isometric view when in combat mode. The combat is turn-based and allows you to move your characters freely over the battle field.

The player has to end a dispute between elves and dwarfs and must find a stolen relic, called "Sternenschweif".

Alternate Titles

  • "劍留痕" -- Chinese Title (Tradition)
  • "Star Trail" -- Common abbreviation
  • "DSA 2" -- Common German abbreviation
  • "Das Schwarze Auge: Sternenschweif" -- German title

Trivia

The image Elvenking during the end scene was inspired by David Bowie!. There was a contest about this image. The first player who would send the correct answer to the designers could win a prize.
