Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

Manage your clans resources, choose your council of leaders according to their different strengths, decide if you want to be friends or enemies with your neighbors (and steal their cattle). Random events which you need to react to and make decisions alternate with choosing which actions to take (rituals, exploring, making war, sending emissaries...) Overall the game generates a story of your clan over several generations. Takes about 20 hours to complete (40-50 years). I think i liked the first part better, because there you are on a journey and it feels a lot more like deciding your fate. This part is rather static, you just live in your city and events come to you. Also several events happened more than once exactly the same, meybe the pool is too small.

I didn't expect it, but this actually innovates on and genuinely improves the formula set forth by King of Dragon Pass and Six Ages 1. It really does capture the feeling of being in a dying world, with things constantly getting worse and options being cut off. The inclusion of gods who were previously present but now not is nice as well, to see what you Could have if things didn't suck so much. That said, I do think a lot of my enjoyment of this is my familiarity with the Glorantha setting, so I dunno if you'd be as into it if you hadn't played the previous games (or Runequest ig, but I haven't even read that, so idk)

These games are phenomenal. Like its predecessor, Ride Against the Wind, you play a tribe in a fantasy bronze age - in fact, you can play as the descendants of the tribe you played in RATW. There are a few key differences: * In RATW, you play 'Riders' - Scythian-esque horse warriors. Here, your clan have intermarried with 'Rams' - who have more in common with bronze age Celts or Germanic tribes, but your people still remember the old ways. * There is a feeling of apocalypse in Lights Going Out - many of the Gods who were so powerful in RATW have died already, and more will die as the game goes on. Your tribe is more powerful and skilled than in RATW - but as the world decays around you from the forces of Chaos you will still watch your people succumb to starvation. This game is MUCH harder and you'll need every advantage. * There's more of a focus on predetermined characters rather than random characters here. I think this was the right choice - the bespoke events are really nice - but some may not like it. Overall this is one of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had. Get this game!

An amazing refinement of the formula of King of Dragon Pass. Less open-ended, but more focused narratively and with streamlined gameplay. Really, really enjoyed this.

I liked it. It's fairly hard to survive too which fits with the theme of a dying world. The world is interesting and I like it when a world feels unique. Wish I was notified of this game sooner.

There's nothing else like these games.

Started with King of Dragon Pass then did six ages now playing through this one. I never knew of the world of Glorantha before but these games have made me want to go a discover everything i can about the world. I hope that the next sequel comes out eventually. 10/10 game.

I never beat King of Dragon Pass though I tried for hours. So many clans. Same for Six Ages. Maybe I can somehow survive this one. All of these games are great. The best text-based game I have ever played in my life.
