Tyranny

A cool little CRPG with a very neat magic system and interesting story.

A game that thrusts you into thorny choices with sweeping consequences in a fascinating world that grows more relevant by the day. Despite its aged and frustrating combat system and occasional clunkiness, years later this game shines brightly in my mind as one of the unsung greats of CRPGs. Grab it on sale, keep a guide ready for puzzles, turn on godmode, and take your time exploring this labor of love.

I remember playing a long while ago before getting it on Steam. I had completed a full playthrough and I'm happy to play this game again through Steam. It's one of the best CRPGs out there in my opinion. Narratively speaking, it is definitely a breath of fresh air to play from the persective of a conqueror, where choices are not between pure good and pure evil, but about which kind of authoritarianism you are either willing to tolerate or destroy based on your allegiances, past actions and skills. It's sad that funds for the last act were cut. If the last act hadn't been so rushed, this would be a masterpiece.

A good old style party rpg, Storywise the idea of starting as the bad guy and deciding how bad you are going to be is defiantely unique and well done. Its not murderhobo all the way through as you might expect and the plot is well written to allow you to be the hero in your own story even if others would definately see different. Not as good overall as Baldurs gate 2, but better than Pillars of eternity 1 and on a par with 2 if not better than that as well. The biggest down is the crafting side, they tried to implement it but really theres nothing other than healing potions worth crafting as the cooldown on using consumables mean your unlikely to use any of them

9/10

Very unique story and the game length is manageable and suitable for multiple playthroughs. It is interesting to see different outcomes of the story and moreover, you can really be the bad guy in this game (or you already are). Combat is quite rough. Overall, great RPG and definitely reconmmend to anyone who likes DOS, Baldur Gates,..

Игра, конечно же, топ — для тех, кто любит такой жанр. Как по мне, временами слегка многовато текста, но не критично. Сначала непривычно, что нет хороших и плохих выборов — они все плохие в это и суть Tyranny
