Have no idea why this isn't rated a 5 star. Amazing game!
Love this game! On my third play thru and I can't get enough! Your choices do change the story and shape who stays with you and who doesn't. After a couple hours I realized how important each decision was I started stepping away and thinking about them before I decided. The Characters are likable and unique. It was upsetting when one would go their own way or I lost one in battle. Good work Devs. Well worth the price in my opinion.
I bought this game in 2015....didn't get around to playing it, but since then I got married and had kids. This game is now providing me some much needed escape from the life of a family man.
I played it on PC and this game is amazing! Purchased it without a second thought for my phone but sadly it won't open. Black screen. Had to refund it.
Awesome game. Beautiful. You master the combat after a while but really have to cheese it. The last decision kinda comes outta nowhere.
Game is broken and refund was refused.
I'm sure the game is great but it keeps freezing and I can't play past the second battle and google won't refund. I got this game on pc and android and i feel ripped off. Edit: After my review I contacted the company, they were really helpful and they issued a refund.
This is exactly the game I was looking for. A compelling story with in depth, complex characters that can die if you make the wrong choices. My one complaint is the morale system. I can make good decisions and have weeks worth of food saved up but morale always plummets after a day or two. I know not everything has to be super realistic but it's annoying winning battles regularly but having medium to low morale because people are upset over eating into supplies slightly. Still a great game tho.
So in my runs I've never been able to recruit ekil and I don't even meet onef when I reach frostvellr. When I breach the city and decide to side with ekil in chapter 4 he just attacks me and it's so disjointed. I'm guessing this is a major bug as I'm pretty sure being able to recruiting ekil gives a lot of supplies.
Repetitive
