I honestly cannot recommend this game highly enough. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. You play as a barbarian clan of Orlanthi, a culture of people akin to Vikings. You worship a wide pantheon of Gods, all of whom can be sacrificed to, and you regularly raid each other for cattle, food, or just plain revenge. The goal is to become King of Dragon Pass (hence the name) by uniting all the clans as one into a kingdom, but honestly your primarily goal is going to be to not die, as this game is VERY challenging, as is the way with older games. The 2 most stunning elements of this game are it's atmosphere, which sucks you right in, and it's realism. Almost every turn you are given a clan situation, such as a strange omen, a horse breeder, or a rainbow. The effects of these are rarely obvious, and sometimes are based on chance. The world seems to happen over you, not around you. The decisions you make have short term or long term effects which require a knowledge of the game lore and the advice of your clan ring to figure out which answer is best. There are numerous aspects of this game which are amazing that I haven't even bothered to mention, such as the artwork, music, and world-building. The only kind of gamer I suppose I couldn't recommend this game to is a casual gamer who likes games that don't require you to think as much, such as CS;GO or Castle Crashers, because this game WILL challenge you
