Release Date:
October 2009

Genre:
RPG

Localisation:
Voice-Over Recordings
A nameless hero with an unknown past washes up on a seemingly deserted island ... this is how Risen begins, the RPG highlight from Piranha Bytes, the game studio that also developed Gothic 1, 2, and 3 ...
The freely explorable game world of the island Faranga offers complete liberty of action; it is up to the player which paths to take and which faction to join. An innovative combat and magic system with intuitive controls and tactical depths helps our hero prevail.

The press was very happy with the German voice recordings featured in the game: "It is rare to hear such accomplished voice acting, where every mood and every little undertone of scorn, derision, annoyance or sympathy comes across perfectly. The speakers have delivered superb, emotional work - kudos to those responsible." "Now this is the absolute highlight of Risen. Rarely have I encountered voice acting so amusing and entertaining. The gruff, natural tone of the dialogues really takes the cake."

"Der mächtige Inquisitor Mendoza kommt auf diese Insel, tyrannisiert die Bauern, sperrt das Volk in MEINER Hafenstadt ein, macht mir das Leben zur Hölle ..."

11.10.2009

"The actors are magnificent."
05.10.2009
www.gamezone.de
"Rarely have we heard such excellent voice-overs, which bring every emotion to life and let even subtleties such as mockery, contempt, anger or sympathy be heard. The actors' work is emotional and superb - we therefore express our thanks to all responsible."
03.10.2009
www.gamecaptain.de
"The brilliant actors and the realistic dialogues are highly entertaining and lend personality and emotion, and in some cases even a certain depth, to the characters."
02.10.2009
www.gamona.de
"The story has been wonderfully told, and is suitably brought to life by good dubbing actors."
02.10.2009
www.demonews.de
"The casting is flawless, the intonation spot-on."
02.10.2009
www.looki.de
"While the story is only moderately exciting, the excellent dubbing actors do a great job of telling it."
30.09.2009
www.ePrison.de
"Now we come to the absolute highlight of Risen. Rarely have voice-overs amused and entertained me as much as when playing Risen. The gruff and natural tone is just awesome. Every single sentence was recording, and all of the acting is first-class. In some cases, with their Berlin accents the actors make for the highest entertainment value in Risen. More than once I was laughing out loud, because the dialogue was just too wonderful and perfectly described the situation."
29.09.2009
www.xboxdynasty.de
"Excellently spoken dialogue."
28.09.2009
www.pcgames.de
"The VO meanwhile is beyond reproach. Every single character in the game world delivers his lines with a suitable voice, whether in a sad dialogue, a snide remark or a taunt, and the actors' performance is well worth listening to."
