Kingdom: The Far Reaches Reviews

its a best dnd typ game

This was a bit of a weird game. It's kind of a precursor to point and click FMV games. The gameplay really isn't that good, but I thought it was interesting enough to play through. If you like the style of animation and have the patience to put up with some old game BS, then this isn't a terrible game to pick up. You'll probably want to get it on sale, though.

A hidden piece of FMV gaming, and a way to experience an arcade classic, the game is challenging at times, with some sections having you to think about what you have to do in that given situation.There are a few problems i found recently, such as the window size of the game, i don't know what happened after i finished it and didn't play it for months, but when trying to play the game again the window was shrunken down to a less than managable size, and the games loading was changed from a smooth fade to black to a loading screen similar to a picture trying to load very slowly, also worth mentioning that the game is confusing sometimes even to the point that if you do something or go somewhere wrong you're screwed, on one play-through i went to location and thieves showed up and took my stuff(that can happen at least 1 time in each play-through),which was fine except the location i went to would trigger an event in which you would have to show one of two specific items in order to be safe, however my important items were stolen and i was forced into giving an item i wasn't supposed to give up, and thus it rewound my progress a bit.The game punishes you a lot from just walking into areas, forcing you to either die or find a temporary solution.Also once you beat if you've basically seen it all.However i still give this a positive review because i rarely ran into problems playing the game on my first play-through, the difficulty of the game is fair at many points(There's even a place that once you have acsess to it can even give you back your lives!and in a no-continue game its a major help),the story is rich and deep and the game makes me feel like i'm going on a journey around this place,and the game has a clear objective that you have to reach for instead of not telling you what to do.this a specific game belongs to a special group of people, BUT for those who can be a part of that group, the game is actually pretty fun.

Sorry to say this game is a p.o.s. Unless you are someone that enjoys memorizing sequences. Bc that is basically what this game is, you need to memorize which path doesn't kill you and how to get to items you need without it killing you. Traveling around the map is a horrible convoluted mess that has you going through the same areas and the same animations (thankfully skippable) multiple times. And likely bc of certain restraints at the time you have to do certain parts multiple times bc people will not remember you giving them an item to progress. Also the audio is shite which can make you miss clues. This happened to me in the first part of the game and since I was already getting a bit frustrated with the gameplay I went to YT to view a playthrough and never went back to the game. And that is my recommendation if you are curious about this game; go watch it on YT and don't submit yourself to this game. Go play Toonstruck, Loom or Sam & Max, but not this. It's not fun to play.

very decent despite the fact that is is an old game. A very rich storyline too. It's a shame that the manual is not included. Also there does not seem to be the sequal, Kingdom Shadoan. Hopefully, it could be released here
