As one of the original Kickstarter backers, I have played the game quite a lot even before its official release. KOTC2 can be very challenging and I would recommend everyone (even veterans) to start with the tutorial campaign, which is about 10 hours long and explains a lot of the core concepts. As for the main adventure module, you get to guide a party of initially six characters through levels 1 - 20, carefully managing their growth, equipment loadout, and limited resources as they face a multitude of increasingly challenging encounters (some of them are very hard and will require mutliple attempts). The game also comes with a module editor; there already is one finished adventure, with few others in the works. If this is your type of game, then it is well worth the price.
Great adventure game from the days when they knew how to make them. Gripping story, exotic locales, well crafted puzzles and well balanced overall dificulty. This game can measure against the best of the genre: GKs, Monkey Island, Longest Journey, etc.
Buy this game only if you want to be brutalized by its punishing difficulty. After spending hours of being repeatedly one shotted by a group of three wolfs, I have had enough. Other games can be difficult but at least they give players a chance to look around and explore a bit before ramroding it in! Asking for a refund - its unplayable.
