Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny Remake Released

Without much fanfare, the Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny remake has been released, and is now available on Steam for $19.99/€19.99/£14.99, on GamersGate for $19.99/€19.99, on GreenManGaming for $19.99/€19.99 (though it's currently discounted and available for $15.99/€15.99), and presumably on a few other digital download services I missed.

The game promises to be a faithful remake of the original title, which has often been praised for being a pretty faithful adaptation of the The Dark Eye pen and paper system, so old-school RPG fans are potentially in for a treat. At the very least, the devs are convinced they are:
