Drakensang Online is a freemium online role-playing game of the German enterprise Bigpoint. The gameplay is similar to the Diablo game franchise and is developed by Bigpoint Berlin. It is one of the few MMORPGs developed in the European Union. The title was in an open beta phase from August 2011 to July 2012. According to Bigpoint's own statement, there are currently 35 million registered accounts. However, the real number can differ because multiple registrations are allowed. A retail version was released in November 2011.
Drakensang Online is very similar to the Diablo game franchise and to other comparable titles in the way that is played from an isometric perspective.
At the beginning of the game, the player creates a character by choosing to play as one of the four different character classes (Dragonknight, Ranger, Spellweaver and Steam Mechanicus) each of which has a different set of attributes. It is possible to create a maximum of up to four characters per account and server. The player can play solo or together with other players. There is also a guild system where players can organize themselves into alliances. Communication takes place via an internal chat system.
The Drakensang world known as "Duria" is a freely explorable open world that is similar to medieval Europe. Currently, Duria has eleven regions with multiple cities, dungeons and wilderness areas.
For faster progression, a player can use the in game virtual currency called Andermant to purchase weapons, upgrade items, teleport to other locations and more. There are a few ways to get Andermant. You can find it in the game by completing missions/quests, slaying monsters or opening chests. It can be bought with real money (free-to-play principle), similar to other free online and browser games, in an item shop by clicking on the in game Purchase button. And it can also be earned by participating in surveys or deals offered by the game's sponsors.
