First of all, let me address my displeasure at having to stop playing to write this review! :) With that said, let me just say...WOW! I haven't been this excited about a game since Lords II was released in 1991! I have played all types of city-builders from the Anno series, SimCity, Empire Earth, Civilization, and more and none compare with this. What a breath of fresh air! The only "enemy" to fight is starvation and cold and unlike other "builders", you get to watch as your people gather materials and build their civilization...what a concept! And all this in a package less than 200MB! My hats off to the game's developer and my whole-hearted thanks for creating a game that's FUN to play! Oh, one final thought...how about a t-shirt to advertise this gem? I was thinking of something like "I was Banished at GOG.com" on the front with the Shining Rock Software logo on the back? I for one would LOVE to buy one...and lastly, don't buy this game on sale. The developer has both earned and deserves full price! Now, let me get back to my game!
I remember the days of Krondor well and this is the reason I love RPG games today! I often wonder what these games would be like using todays technology...better or worse? Sometimes a classic is best when left alone. Two thumbs up for the Krondor series (and two big toes!) :) Love the game...love the GOG!
