Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind

As usual this is an utter masterpiece, combining real gameplay decisions, great music, fantastic lore, and interesting art (although I liked KODP's art style better). The only thing I was sad to see were that there were no DUCKS! or Durulz from the previous game and Glorantha lore. I understand this is NOT where the ducks live, so they can't be here, but I miss the hilarious Donald duck looking chaos fighters. As this is not a real weakness, I have not taken a star off. But remember to buy King of Dragon Pass for Duck goodness, and also buy this game so we can get a sequel, hopefully with ducks. The ducks will thank you.

(To start, apologies for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker. >.<) If you are searching for a diferent type of fantasy world, far from that generic Middle Age type fantasy, this is definetly your game! Me and my wife are graduated of History and Arheology of the Acient Age respectively, and we have been analysing both the images/representations and the texts, and we have determined that are very close to both the material culture and the ideology of the bronze age, at least in Oriental Europe. Also, the religious part of the story is very close to the interpretations of the investigators about this, with some changes to make it more rich. An overall good Barbarian Clan strategy game, with a good story and a diferent ambientation.

What can i say? After i completed King of Dragon Pass ages ago. I tried looking for another game like it and never found one and Trust me... i really searched all over. Awesome game and that mixes Civ Management with killer narrative game play. Waited 19 years and it is seriously one of a kind and will not be able to find anything similar. I am not sure if this is true but the Spirit Quest seem alot more balanced now as back in the King of Dragon Pass days, that was the one thing that WAY hard to get right and hope your Journeyman did not kick the can after. A welcome change for sure. A definite recommend. Having a great time with it.

Everything about this game is great. It's complex, interesting, and can be played in completely different ways on each playthrough. It's one of those games that not millions of people have played, but those who have played it love it. Playing this game is like reading a good story, but it doesn't ever forget that it's a game and that people are playing for that aspect as well. It's not very expensive and you're guaranteed to get more than your money's worth.
