Though I am not sure why it is called Skald, I love the game. Its old-school sensibilities appeal to me enormously and the inclusion of dice as a visual conceit put a smile on my face. I do not find it too difficult at all; rather, I am able to navigate most combats without problem. Maybe I ought to use a higher difficulty level. There are some soft-locks regarding quests and some performance issues, as well as a handful of typos in the text. I would otherwise give the game five stars, and I might change this review later to reflect that if those issues should get ironed out. I intend to play through it a second time as a different class; I am sure that there are parts of the game that I have not yet explored.
