Description
In the world of the Heretic Kingdoms, a world where God is dead and religion heresy, you are cast as a young female inquisitor, working to stamp out the last remnants of religion. On instructions to destroy a relic which the Inquisition considers to be a significant threat, you are drawn into a war between two warring secret societies – a conspiracy of mages whose goal is true power, and a shadowy cult who seeks to resurrect the Dead God.

As the story progresses, you will be placed in an amoral world and left to decide your own morality. Just like the real world, your actions have consequences, and it is up to you to decide if you can live with them or not. Play as an altruistic heroine, a vicious and selfish egotist, or just a woman trying to get her job done – your actions will lead you to one of six different endings depending on where you decide your loyalties lie. Will you crush religion underfoot, or become its savior? Only you can decide!
  • An engaging story line written by a script team lead by critically acclaimed game writer and designer Chris Bateman (Discworld Noir, Ghost Master)!
  • Features a simple but rewarding combat system that keeps the action flowing thick and fast.
  • A vast world to explore containing around fifty locations, scores of unique monsters, and tons of loot!

Might be nostalgia

This might just be a surge of nostalgia but i played this ALOT when i was around 10 years old. This was an amazing addiction at the time and i still love everything about it. The lootwhoring, the MASSIVE amount of quests, the dreamworld switching and the attunements/skills that make you create 6 characters to test out everything. The combat isnt amazingly innovative, the graphics arent great .. but the feel and storyline of the game are really nice. Loved this inmy youth and still do 10 years later. Also i would recommend checking out Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms on Steam Early Acces. Its the same developerteam, the same kind of game with the same style and also focussing on dreamworld swithcing (or demonswitching in this case) but using a graphics-engine and features fitting any AAA game released nowadays

Great disappointement

When I buyed this game, I did it based on the very goods reviews on the site. But in fact, all the "goods points" are in fact false. The combat are just painly boring. You have only to maintain the right click and that it. No tactics, no real choice. In a game where all the character developpement is centered on combat, and the combat are 99% of the game, that's an epic fail. The story, the "quality" of this game, are under exploited. Yes there is some good ideas... But spoiled by the fact you have absolutely no real choice until the last five minutes of the game. All the 6 ends of the game was decided at the end, your previous actions have no consequences And the only difference are one line of text... So all the dialogs are useless and frequently used to make some jokes...

A hidden treasure for ARPG fans

The mechanics of this are quite good and reminiscent of Dungeon Siege, but the thing that stands out is unlike most ARPGs there's actually a very good story driving the gameplay along with real moral choices.

Game crash closing

I like this game quite a lot but it crashes and closes itself from time to time which is annoying

The engine, UI and combat are nothing to write home about. That much is true. Even the story isn't as well written as the 5 star reviews might indicate. But I really enjoyed the witty, tongue-in-cheek dialogue. Sometimes, when playing with the expectation of the reader, it even reminded me of Joss Whedon's style. Sadly, that's very, very rare (and equally precious).
