As good as the classics!

Old-school RPG with innovations, set in the dark ages. Important: this is an RPG, not a survival or tactical game. A clan leader, who has to prove her worthiness, finds herself entangled in conflict, in Fistful of dollars fashion between saxons, picts and norse over in Britain. PRO - This is among the best representation of dark ages I have ever seen. A bit gritty, but folks are not portrayed dumb, and there are quite a few merry moments. - campaign structure is very nice. Can work for all parties until a break point. Similar to New Vegas or Deadfire. - reacitivity is very good. Tailor made responses instead of relationship counters - there is a (leisure!) time limit in the game. Elegant solution for rest spamming - roleplay as you want, the game doesn't force morality on you. Acting like a pillager, mercenary or a trader all work. Greedy choices often worth a considering, consequences never feel "evil tax", but are there - multiple solutions to quests, fights can be avoided. Pacifist playthrough not possible, due to the initial setup. A diplomat-support main character is viable tho. - choices matter in this game - companions provide background and minimal banter. No Bioware whiners :) - partial voiceover, nice for replays - low key plot, not saving the world - the battle system is very good. You can jump in instantly, and you add more complex team combinations during the game. CONTRA - loading times at select places are very bad (ie. Ribe) - it would be nice to have a compass on city maps. Easy to get lost when entering and exiting a building changes the orientation without notice - the AI never gives up. It means you have to chase the hopeless bandits around the map - minimum ability point spend to unlock ability tier: a tax for the player who knows what is needed for the team. Ie. you cannot create an artisan hireling, because to unlock talents you need to spend surplus points. Not very nice. One of the best CRPGs of the last ten years. Well done!

Old School in the Right Ways

This game feels like a classic but not in that it has deliberately de-made graphics or a bad UI. It's the sheer amount of stuff packed in, the amount of meaningful choices, and the clear attention to detail on display that made me feel like I'd cracked open a big box game from the glory days. This is turn-based combat perfected. Short and sweet, hard hitting, you always feel you're in control, it's challenging but RNG is never an issue. Archers troubling you from cover? Smoke them out. Use spear fighters to jab around your swordsmen and axemen. If you're failing it's usually because you ran into a tough challenge or YOU made a mistake in tactics, not because chance wasn't on your side. You've got the reigns of choice here. The first major decision has several shades of choices interlaced depending on what you decide counts as an honorable duel. It would be a meaty enough game without the manifold components opening up soon after the first few quests. You do indeed have expeditions, but you also manage a stable of warriors and allies you need to keep in the zone for when they're called upon, materials gathered for crafting and trading, and eventually a homestead to guide and upgrade. There's some scattered voice acting, but the amount of reading is thankfully offset by the interesting characters and a story that feels authentic and dependent on your pathway to leadership. The 'good' option isn't always the one your allies prefer because it could be a sign of weakness. If you suggest something typically viking-ish like a raiding party you might flat out be told to keep your head out of the clouds and your mind on the problems at home. The 'correct' path isn't the one that satisfies everyone or the one the game rewards karmatically, it's the one YOU decide based on your playthrough. If you like deep roleplaying, great turn based combat, AND tons of systems, check it out!

A gem

Be warned. It is hard to grasp the mechanics of this game. I came here straightforward from Conquistador and the first days I was really close to uninstall this game and start over a new game in Conquistador. And boy, I am glad I didnt do it. Shield factor is important and changes completely the way to aproach battles. Archers factor, they are lethal. You will have to learn how to deal with that (demoralize, mostly) Setting camp, asigning chores to your hird is not a copy of Conquistador. Is more complex and will make you think things twice. Very good story. Amazing music. This time, unlike Conquistador, your main character has a real presence in battle. You create him/her from scratch assigning points to stats (similar to other rpgs) and choosing a few abilities. As you progress you will be able to choose more abilities (there is a huge lot of abilities). Your main character will play a major role in all your fights, be warned. I disagree with people claiming this game is easy. I played in Ragnar Lothbrook difficulty (not even the most difficult)and get my ass kicked too oftenly. Even when you are really strong and well equipped some random encounters can be an insane challenge (I am looking at you, wolves in England...what where devs thinking?) So...easy? My halls. The game provides a few characters which are totally fine. If you dont like them, you can ditch them later. And you can even create almost every member of your hird (very early in game)if you feel like it. Total freedom. I came here expecting Conquistadores 2 and I found Wasteland 2 in viking era and I am so happy about that.

Would be good, but game breaking bugs

I loved conquisitor and really enjoyed this game, but after only a few hours in when you try to visit the city of ribe, the game crashes. Whilst I didnt have the cannot load issue that many have, i had the game just crash whilst you are running around the town. Again and again and again, no matter what the settings are. Sad, as was enjoying the game, but considering how old it is now and that these bugs are not fixed, it shows that the makers do not care and i doubt they will fix it. Many complain about problems like this in the game in the large towns. Such a waste.

Excellent historical RPG

The game surprised me in many ways: + Excellent script/writing; good range of options (words and actions); not black & white + Incredible immersive soundtrack + Excellent combat system, very funny and challenging + Very interesting characters + Homestead and camping management systems are a treat + Great historical immersiveness, though many liberties were taken. Well done. - Minor UI issues, like ambiguous descriptions (especially about skills) - Combat skills UI bugs (some skills just never appeared in battle, others were dupplicate x10) -A bit predictable ending, and sometimes, but only very few times, the answer I wanted to give was not among the choices. It is still a very minor negative point. Overall, it is one of my best RPGs from the last years. Definitelfy a great historical game, more about what it could have been to live/die as a Viking in that era. Good representation of religious point of views with a modern and mature understanding. I had a blast and will remeber this game for sure. Thank you Logic Artists!
