King of Dragon Pass

The storyline, the pseudo-Norse setting and the writing are quite stellar -- for instance, the comments of your advisors in particular are pleasantly varied -- and the art is very good as well. Unfortunately, the gameplay is uninviting and unfriendly to new players. Right off the start there's too many things to keep track of, and events just keep happening seemingly at random. There's little feedback -- you don't have any clear idea what you have done wrong, how should you have managed your tribe, or what would have improved your chances. Perhaps the game gets better later on, but personally, I tried playing it twice and both times bounced off. It's a pity the game doesn't have some kind of a "simplified mode" where there's not quite as many things to micromanage.

Again vary nice game, if you want to buy the game you should :D.

I've played this game before i really liked it but it crashed a lot, but that doesn't happen anymore 5 are deserved for something unique and enjoyable as this game

There's a lot of text, which I'd be fine with if the writing was good. It's not. Biggest problem though is the RNG and the general guessing - which really relies little on skill at all. You can make the perfect choice and still fail the majority of the time. Heroquests are the worst combination of the bad writing and RNG. It's like those writing comprehension standardized tests from school, though the writing is arguably even more stale. Only difference is if you get the answer right, you still fail. Sure, you can prep for this in other ways, to very minimal effect. But it's overall convoluted, unfair and no fun. Chalk it all up to poor game design and balance. Problem is, this frustrating turd is addicting, like an itch you keep scratching when the real cure is just to leave it alone. Leave it alone.

This and so many classics, like Master of Orion and Baldur's Gate 2, are what make the old days worth more than what comes out today.
