Got the game on sale and it was worth every Cent. Albeit you play it a couple of hours on a few evenings you dont notice the time clocking. Every week you have to decide on the petitions your Subjects and other Lords forward to you as well as some family drama with 3 daughters producing plenty of it. You face the grim alternatives between making naive to ruthless decisions and every sinlge one somehow influencing your personal and Kingdoms fate. There are rather bleak outcomes at times and if you do not play careful at times you can sink your boat quite easy. Usualy the game puts no time constraints on you but there are moments when a very slim blue bar ticks down leaving you with limited time to decide. In the end i reloaded once bcs i missed a decision for a lack of understanding the controls but lived with all the decisions i made and barly survived with some personal losses all crisis that was thrown at me. It felt good with some grievances and i think that shows that the game makes you care about your life as King, your family and kingdom. The game entertained me to the end but be aware that there is a very high probability that you have to sacrifice what is dear to you and you need to be able to stomach that! I liked it as it made me care the utmost for the consequences. I would buy it again!
I remember playing Rüsselsheim (Detroit) back in the days for a long time developing cars and the best was the multiplayer ability via Nullmodem that worked quite well. So nostaliga made me buy this game and the hunger for something else than a smash, kill, burn game. Although bad car design would probably have the same effect? Well that is up to me isnt it? So lets dive into the world of quality car design and manufacture and storm the markets!
So, first i am not into Horror but boredom led to curiosity and curiosity led to a purchase. I mainly tried to make myself comfortable with the controls but i am not sure yet if i like Keyboard and Mouse less than my X-Box Controller gameplay or vice versa - i probably dislike both more than i like them, i am a PC Gamer and this game feels like a clumsy Consolegame. The combat is pretty brutal but chopping of limbs and heads off is not that exclusive anymore as it was way in the past and making NPCs cry in pain...it is a cry of pain more in the thousands of them that make the background noise. The uncensored patch is avialable on the Homepage of the Developer and works with the GOG Version - no more pixelation. All in all the game is not my taste but i try to be fair and give it a 3/5 for working ok and having the decision to uncensor the game at the players discretion.
