Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind

A good game, just like King Of Dragon Pass HOWEVER, the battles are madly stupid. The game makes sure you lose certain number of battles and it doesnt make sense at all. You can have 90 vs 30 advantage and still lose EVERY TIME. Out of spite I loaded and replayed several times and won exactly zero times. I hate games where the battles seemingly random actually is programmed for u to lose no matter what. Not only that, it is harder to win wheels than riders CONSISTENTLY. The end game criteria is also harder than KODP and doesnt seem to forgive mistakes much. The game is rather short too, not giving you enough time to do stuff. Good game and great story for the other side of Gods opposing Orlanth but the battle system is so seriously bad Im giving it a 2 out of 5 stars

I'm enjoying it. It picks up on the King of Dragon Pass setting and refines it suitably for a game 20 years later while not losing the essence of the text driven narrative clan building sim rpg big bundle of different elements. That said, it still can be pretty opaque for how things work if you're new to this, and you can see that in some of the responses it can get. This is a world of magic and spirits, where 100 men may not count for as much as the right prayer to the right god at the right time. Which can be pretty frustrating until you do figure out those systems. Where these games shine is the world building and setting. The familiar made strange. The tropes toyed with. So far, for me, it's proving to be a worthy sequel to the original.

It felt like I was playing a boardgame that consisted solely of drawing Event Cards over and over.

[b]Review: 6/10, the Art is great and the Music is fitting.[/b] I don't recommend this to the average gamer. If you're even reading this review then you may be closer to the intended audience, but the game is just REALLY light-handed in how it makes the player feel the progression of a society they're managing. There are many factors / systems under the hood that affect how events unfold but the events are forgettable.

Extremely unsatisfying to play. It feels less like a game where you're leading a tribe and making decisions and more like a what "these people suffer no matter what you do" simulator. It seems to delight it just making you watch your people lose and doesn't make you feel like you have much control over any of it. That feeling gets real tiresome, real quick.

Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind is an absolute must-play for anyone who loves deep mythological worldbuilding with rich storytelling and stunningly artwork. Set Greg Stafford's Glorantha, it not only stays true to the setting’s lore but also expands upon it, offering fresh insights and perspectives that will delight both newcomers and longtime fans. What makes Six Ages truly special is its emphasis on cultural discovery. While the overarching story provides engaging choices and challenges, the real joy comes from shaping your own people and learning about the diverse societies that inhabit the valley. Every decision feels meaningful, and the mythic, almost dreamlike quality of the world makes every playthrough unique. If you enjoy strategy, roleplaying, and the feeling of being part of a living, breathing mythology, then Six Ages is an experience you don’t want to miss.

This is the kind of game that professional narrative designers dream about creating. I would know, I am one, and I do. A work of art.

Really really unsatisfied with the ending, the whole leadup is a pretty fun game of survival-- but the payoff is immensely disappointing tbh. Otherwise liked the setting. Wish there was a free mode without the tedious story events. Linear af.

*Awesome* gem!! I haven't played King Of Dragon Pass yet BUT A Sharp makes amazing games if this is their newer work! I'm sure I'll love Dragon Pass when I get to it too, GREAT stuff here love everything about it, thanks devs for the hard work bringing these cool gemz to us all!! :)
