Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms

Primal. No options. No chance to call out the scammer in an ARPG game. Nothing you can do to avoid it.

When I saw the store page pass by my steam queue, It gotten me curious. I purchased it during the steamsales and let's say.. I was not disappointed. It's an atypical rpg with a ton of lore! Most of this is discovered by reading a lot of dialogues, books you find on the ground, a world codex with a lot of additional information about the world, monsters, important npcs's, etc... (unfortunately most has no voice-over) The combat system isn't overly complex, the enemy ai is pretty straightforward and the boss mechanics are quite easy to figure out. I've reset a few times in order to get all the grandmaster achievements and I discovered to have the most fun with playing several playstyles (ranged, full tank, dps melee, mage, summoner, ...). It only costs 1 specific item to reset which you can easily grind or buy. Money in the beginning might feel a struggle but you quickly overcome this. There isn't enough of a money sink in this game so you get rich rather quickly. I felt that there was a big item arsenal at your disposal but that I didn't really "need" any of it.. from the moment I got my first few legendary items from quests.. I almost never had to replace them anymore. So 99% of my loot-goblin OCD was getting all the uniques and stash em away in my chest!! They did crafting right in the sense that you could use the items stored in your stash rather than "on your hand".. which reduced a lot of micro-management, the only thing that bothered me a little.. not enough QOL features to manage the inventory better.. it was A LOT OF runs to my chest to "dump" my stuff there. (perhaps after every fight, a button to "send to stash" for reagents and materials would be a game changer (i know it's a bit immersion breaking but shrugs). The filter system felt very oldschool, which has a charm on it's own. The quests are pretty straight forward. "go to A, bring/kill B, deliver to C". But that summarizes most RPGS in a nutshell ^^ Overall it was a good game and I enjoyed it fully. Definitely in my "hidden gem" list. I recommend it!

If you enjoy isometric arpgs and have a steam deck this is a fantastic game. The build variety and the unique setting is addictive and enjoyable. Don't sleep on this. It's challenging and very fun

I really like the combat, is the fun part. But in all the rest I still feel the game is not finished. I REALLY feels like a celphone game, and for an RPG that tries to be so big in intiself, this speaks volume... For starters, "Exiled kingdoms" is a cellphone game, and the world feels much more living than in Alaloth... I guess you could say that while the devs aimed for a much, it still lacks "alaloth" (heh) I really get the promise: The game puts a lot of lore and you can see the effort in all of that, but everyone feels bland, lacks personality, and the saddest part, which is why I like RPGS, is that I feel zero character progression or flexibility. The EXP system is clompletely static, so is pretty much a lot of things. Maybe im being too harsh, but all and all, Its still an enjoyable game. I wouldnt recommend because of how niche it can be however, so its understandable a lot of people stray away from it. I may change my mind but we'll see.

Primeira vez que faço uma análise negativa na steam, o jogo não é de todo ruim, mas os devs falarem que o jogo é um filho entre BG e Dark Souls foi sacanagem. Achei as dungeons super curtas e o combate manjado, fica enjoativo rápido. Mas a maior decepção foi a construção do mundo em si, eu tinha visto que o mapa mundi era tipo um tabuleiro, mas estava esperando algo como Pillars of Eternity. Porém, o que entregam aqui é uma safadeza imensa. As cidades são pequenas, possuem todas as mesmas coisas (ferreiro, loja de pot, loja de comida), taverna, e as vezes personagens pra jogar um.iogo de dados. Tentei avançar no jogo para ver se melhorava, mas fica o mesmo loop repetitivo. É uma pena, mas infelizmente esse jogo é um propaganda enganosa

Fairly unique RPG with a strong emphasis on dungeon crawling carried by decent gear and flexible buildcraft. Would love to see how the team could tackle a sequel, or another alternative campaign mode that leverages its strengths a bit better. The competitive mode was one of the main draws for me, so seeing that expanded in some way would be great because the tension of racing against the other champions to build power and deny them theirs adds a lot of weight to every decision.

Finished the game in 10 hours. Replay doesn't seem like fun.
