    It lacks in originality, and the play is a little slow. But while this is not the kind of game that will take your breath away, it is the kind of game that – because of its simplistic nature – will draw you back to play it.

    An enjoyable diversion at a reasonable price.

    Not everything in Konung is bad, but the game's virtues hardly add up to a ringing endorsement. It can occasionally be fun, but by the end it's the repetition that you'll remember.

    Pro's

    - 3 Main Characters with different spins on the same over-arching story
    - An interesting and mysterious world, including some really cool areas that I just haven't seen replicated to the same degree in another game.
    - Quite humorous and yet with themes of horror and tension that blends really well
    - A combat system that's really enjoyable and with some depth
    - Really interesting Village and Alliance systems where you can repopulate villages and become their lords.

    Cons
    - Party system which becomes a bit clumsy as more members join
    - Very slow movement with no sprint, however this can be offset with game speed options
    - Some small translation issues    … Full Review »
