Errant Kingdom Reviews

I put off playing this game, hoping that there would be an eventual update, but given the dev's silence I figured I might as well try it out given that it's been gathering dust in my library for some time now, and I really enjoyed WTNC. All in all, I have to say that I was really quite pleasantly surprised. I binged the game (ambassador - raiden route) over two days and was pretty hooked. It's clear where budget cuts had to be made and corners had to be cut, but all in all I think it's a really solid story with some wonderful characters. The fact that there are three full storylines/paths was incredibly ambitious of the team, and while I wish that there had been more romance content (and perhaps a proper epilogue?), I overall am pretty impressed. The big downsides for me are the music (I loved the music in WTNC, and for some reason the music in this game just doesn't... go that well with the scenes?) and the occasional typos, though those are (strangely) more prevalent at the start of the game, when that sort of thing would make an impression on a reader. At times the character expressions also don't match up with the writing. But given that the devs already cut the price of the game considerably I'm willing to forgive them these slight downsides. It wouldn't be hard to fix up the game, but given that I'm not sure if we're ever getting Call Me Under, I assume that this probably isn't high on their to-do list.

characters, art, plot.. some are better than others but each nice in their own way. It needed a bit more I think for the main character development I think if it had been a bit longer it would have been better but i still enjoyed it

I wanted to love this game as much as I loved When The Night Comes. I cannot. The story falls completely on its arse by the last few chapters. there are a few things more eloquently said in other reviews and even though I didn't read them until I tried the game myself I am inclined to agree with a lot of them. World building, character development, and romance all take a significant nose dive at the halfway point and I lost almost all interest in completing the game. It isn't worth the money.

The game started out with fairly good writing and I liked the art and characters well enough. However, halfway through the game the quality of the romance and story just drops dramatically. I simply can't recommend this game.
