DTP Entertainment at a Glance

DTP Entertainment operates from Hamburg and has been active in the market since 1995. The company employs over 140 staff members and identifies itself as a leading German publisher and developer. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 36 titles, with 33 listed under their publishing arm and only four under development. The bulk of their activity occurred between 2004 and 2011, though they released games in the 2000s as well as the 2010s. Their output was slightly heavier in the later decade with 20 releases compared to 16 in the previous one. The company covers a wide range of genres including adventure, music, point-and-click, role-playing, sport, simulator, racing, and real-time strategy. PC is their primary platform with 16 titles, followed by the Nintendo Wii with 9 games. They also have a strong presence on Xbox 360 and various Nintendo handheld systems like the DSi and DS. While they claim to support mobile platforms and browsers in their bio, their PlayPile data shows a focus on console and PC hardware. Quality varies across their portfolio. The average IGDB rating stands at 63.1 out of 100 based on 11 rated titles. This score reflects a mix of performance where one game achieved great status while six others fell into the good range. Four titles landed in the mixed category, and none were rated as poor. Their highest-rated release is Giana Sisters DS from 2009 with an impressive 93 score. Other notable successes include the Black Mirror series, specifically Black Mirror III: Final Fear and Black Mirror II: Reigning Evil, both scoring above 75. Drakensang: The River of Time and Divinity II: Ego Draconis also received solid scores above 70. Recent releases from their active period include Theatre of War 2: Battle for Caen - Special Edition and various entries in the Just Sing! music series. While they have a history of publishing high-quality point-and-click adventures and RPGs, their overall average rating suggests inconsistency across their entire library. They do not seem to maintain a single dominant style but rather shift between sports simulations, music games, and narrative-driven adventures depending on the year.
