[h1]Before I played The Throne of Bernicia, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

your average jrpg.

A well-crafted, enjoyable game. It's not ground-breaking, but it has its own charm. A real point of strength is the characters: their expressions change, their interactions are humorous, and they each have their own side-quest, which was a great addition. You can name your hero, select one of two portraits, and choose options in the dialogue. A few suggestions for improvement: - Gail's text is very difficult to read against the background. - Gail wasn't actually a useful character in combat. She doesn't deal much damage and I didn't need to use her as a shield for the others because the battles were so easy. - Money was so plentiful you could buy 100 of anything you wanted by the end! Overall, I really enjoyed this. Many thanks to the developer for their hard work and for generously offering the game free.

The Throne of Bernicia is a delightful, charming, classic rpg. Entertaining and simple, I found myself eager to get back in and progress every time I stepped away. I highly suggest this for anyone thinking about making an rpgmaker title of their own, as it is a poster child for the kind of engaging work that can be made using stock or community assets; and of course anyone wanting a low-stakes but rewarding turn-based rpg to play. I was able to get more than ten hours of enjoyment out of it (my long playtime is because I left it running overnight a few times, a bad habit of mine) while pattering around and completing all sidequests. You won't find any revolutionary takes on the genre; but there are a few interesting things to find, solid writing, horse jokes, and memorable characters, fools! The second half does have some rough edges - typos and syntax errors begin cropping up, one sidequest couldn't be completed to satisfaction despite meeting the requirements ([spoiler]the necromancy tomes[/spoiler]), and one or two collision issues, a classic bug for rpgmaker titles. None of it is gamebreaking. It is also not particularly challenging, as by midgame you will be well-equipped to handle any encounter. The economy - for XP and gold both - is quite generous: while your characters stop gaining new skills around level 25, I entered the final boss fight with them all at level 40. I don't consider this a negative at all, and if you find encounters becoming more annoying than they're worth, you'll have plenty of funds to purchase consumables that protect you from random encounters; just know you won't have your socks blown off by any of the fights. All in all, this is a solid recommend, and by the time any issues rear their head, you will be thoroughly invested and determined to finish the game.

Игра 'The Throne of Bernicia' - это захватывающая пошаговая стратегия в антураже ранней средневековой Британии. Игроку предстоит взять на себя роль правителя одного из королевств и привести его к процветанию, попутно отбиваясь от набегов викингов и враждебных соседей. Глубокий геймплей сочетает в себе дипломатию, экономику и военное дело. Необходимо разумно распределять ресурсы, развивать поселения, вербовать войска и заключать союзы. Боевая система тактическая, с учётом ландшафта и типов войск. Приятно удивила историческая достоверность: упор сделан на реалистичные события и культуры того времени. Несмотря на кажущуюся комплексность, игра довольно быстро осваивается благодаря интуитивно понятному интерфейсу. Графика, хоть и не передовая, выполнена в приятном стиле и хорошо передает атмосферу эпохи. Среди немногочисленных минусов можно отметить некоторую однообразность заданий ближе к концу игры. Но в целом, 'The Throne of Bernicia' - достойный представитель жанра, способный увлечь на долгие часы любителей истории и пошаговых стратегий. Рекомендую!
