Kingsvein

An hidden gem. Great game design and story. I loved every second in the game.

Nice game, good feeling in the end, a bit of grinding for me, but some interesting moments too. Overall recommendation!

Basically perfect for me.

The story is interesting, if basic, and satisfying in its conclusion. The combat is absolutely incredible, from the extremely custom nature of each of your character builds/equipment to the environmental interactions with ledges and destructible terrain. Fire Emblem meets Baldur's Gate in the best ways possible. My singular complaint is the confusion of status effects and how many enemies flat-out ignore them. Movement reduced to zero and Blinded? I'll just teleport 4 squares and take out your backline, NBD. Once I accepted that I couldn't always rely on that it was smooth sailing. Highly recommended.

A great final fantasy tactics crossed with chrono trigger game. The combat is challenging and the builds are interesting. This indie is worth playing.

Another banger from Rad Codex! Where Horizon's Gate when broad, Kingsvein goes detailed. I love some of the new classes (such as Marshal) and the mechanics for placing interactive nodes on the grid really went deeper in this installment. If you come into this expecting Horizon's Gate, you'll be a bit disappointed especially with the light touch on the start, but this title has a nice little story and brings back the map exploration that I really loved from Voidspire Tactics. If you like Tactics style games, you are doing yourself a disservice by skipping this. From Voidspire Tactics until Kingsvein, you can really tell that they are experimenting and honing their craft. As a big fan, I'm hoping that they are taking all the lessons learned and creating a magnum opus that could be a true forever game for me. Even if not, I eagerly await the next installment. Thank you for the wonderful game!

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I found the game a frustrating and confusing experience. Hopefully I'm not missing anything obvious, but I cannot see enemy skill or intention, every turn I am shocked by what the enemy throws at me. Initially I misunderstood how the skillset/levelling up works so I even restarted the game to be mindful of experience and yet I was still losing every battle on the lowest difficulty. I liked the floor puzzle that I managed to play but have since completely lost interest to continue. It's a shame as I like dragons and the pixel art.
