Description
Tyranny - Standard Edition includes the following:
- Base Game
- Ringtones: three notification tones and one ringtone
- Commander Edition Forum Icon (for Paradox Plaza only)
- Forum Avatars (for Paradox Plaza only)

In Tyranny, the grand war between good and evil is over – and the forces of evil, led by Kyros the Overlord, have won. The Overlord’s merciless armies dominate the face of the world, and its denizens must find their new roles within the war-torn realm... even as discord begins to rumble among the ranks of Kyros’ most powerful Archons.

Players will experience the new world order under Overlord in a reactive role-playing game (RPG), interacting with the populace as a powerful Fatebinder in the Overlord’s forces -- roaming the lands to inspire loyalty or fear as they bring control to the last holdouts of the Tiers.

Also Available on GOG.com:

Tyranny - Deluxe Edition

Tyranny - Deluxe Edition Upgrade
  • Branching, unique stories in an original setting: The battle between good and evil has already taken place, and evil stands victorious
  • Choices matter – make world-altering decisions with far-reaching consequence: As a Fatebinder in the Overlord’s army you wield a vast amount of power in the occupied lands of the Tiers. Will you use that to inspire stability and loyalty, will you be feared, or will you seek your own power?
  • Challenging, classic RPG combat: Tactical real-time-with-pause combat with new party-driven mechanics and modern presentation
  • A rich original setting: Not just another “hero’s journey” -- Tyranny turns the archetypal RPG story on its head and allows players to explore a new take on good and evil

8.3/10
Tyranny is a memorable RPG that looks great and feels fresh, even while largely working in the confines of the old Infinity Engine style. It's also the rare sprawling RPG that invites you to replay it, as its comparatively short running time and significant changes based on choice greatly change the experience from playthrough to playthrough, and combat is deep enough to last. With Tyranny, the old feels new again.

Tyranny's depiction of evil is fascinating and thought-provoking, albeit somewhat obscured by convoluted quest-lines and repetitive combat.

Good game, bad work.

I gave 5 stars. It is good game. but... MAJOR ÍSSUE: Graphic is awful. Everything is BLURed. Characters looks extremly BAD and wierd. Movement looks like they got some movement DISEASE. Combat is total MESS, it is not posible to know, who is who, what is he doing and where he stands. User interface is EXTREMLY BAD. Everything is MESS. BORING uninspiring loot. No romances, relationship, or friendship. Character leveling system doesnt make sense. To be honest, much much older games got better graphic, better user interfece, better characters etc... The GOOD stuff: Story is very nice. It is (warning) very childish, but it is GOOD. Combat mechanic itself is VERY GOOD and fun. Companions are very UNIQUE and more alive then in other games (similar to Dragon Age). Very COMPLEX storyline. Very complex. Choices matters! HAND MADED combat scenes (not generated}. Complex character skills and very nice SPELL creation. Actually it IS funn to play this game, even if it is not perfect, it is definitely worth of time and buy.

Better than PoE

Great story that makes you make decisions that actually matter. I like this way more than PoE.

Good but very short

I enjoyed the game but felt for the price it was far, far too short. The 'replayability' touted as so central to the game design is mostly just a way of saying the game has some narrative responsiveness to your choices. You'll get some replay value out of different decisions, but not enough to justify just how short this game is for an rpg - think 15 hours or so if you read at a fairly average pace. It doesn't help that the ending is abrupt and a direct cliffhanger to a sequel. I personally would recommend waiting for a sale/package with possible future dlc to pick it up, as at full price it is definitely not worth it.

Who honestly likes this type of combat?

Maybe I'm too oldschool but who actually finds this stat/combat system fun? Are reviews by normal people just complete deleted from the site. I get that some poeple like this, and that is cool. I am not telling people what to like. I am just writing this review for what I think are normal people. In my opinion most people wont like this, AT ALL. It's just crazy weird and complicated. I see a lot of games going this route. It's like button mashing without mashing buttons. Who has that much time and energy to deveote to a mass of automated stat-crunching automations? I prefer the combat in something like the original goldboxes to this. Seriously. Even with all the clunk and silliness that had. I can't recommend this game to anyone because of how combat works. It's just not fun or interesting in anyway. It's not strategic, it's not challenging, it's not easy either. It's basically a little bit of studying to figure out the number crunch then spamming the right abilities. That's it.
