Rivals the Depth and Lore of Skyrim. Incredible.
Thu Feb 11 2016 SpaceRangerAceSo no everyone is going to agree on the title, that's fine. This game lets you dive into a Nordic culture where the spirits, gods and sacrifices make a profound difference in the life of your kinsmen. This game has 600+ frames of artwork and hundreds upon hundreds of unique events. Decisions that happen two years ago may bring prosperity or run. One of the more fascinating aspects is the hero questing, where a leader travels to the lands of the gods and pays homage. This event is the highlight of the year for your tribe and can bring great blessing or your leader can come home in pieces. It also makes you wonder about your ethics if you were a tribal leader. Raid and pillage your neighbor every fall? Clearly... They came to your clan hall and dropped a duce in front of your throne (true story). Moreover, it's a world that not clearly understood by any of the characters, leading to the mystery. Enjoy the music and some of the most complex gameplay you'll find in the App Store. The learning curve is there but worth the investment.
Basically the best game I've ever played.
Wed Aug 24 2016 NCrossetteI cannot express how much I love this game. It's extremely in depth and the replay value is amazing. I don't think it's actually $10 I think you'll be charged much less, but either way it's worth it. It's a large (100mb) file, but you can play it offline. There are no ads, and absolutely no disappointments. It's a better layout on an IPad, but the game is the same on my phone. I run two games very different from each other on my two devices. Great game for getting a 12+ kid interested in reading. Has the feel of a fantasy book like dragon lance novels, with the control of civilization. It is choose your own adventure style, but unlike other games that basically end up the same no matter what you decide, this game has tons of different paths to victory and defeat. Mad props to the creator of this game. I pray for the gods to bless them and for them to be inspired to add more or create a second sage or prequel.
Great Fantasy Game
Fri Oct 23 2015 PatorikkudozzuThis game introduced me to the fantastic world of Glorantha. You take control of a clan that's part of an of Anglo-Saxon inspired folk known as the Storm Tribe. Gods and spirits have a great impact on daily life in Dragonpass, and you'll find yourself sacrificing silver, cattle, maybe even thrills to keep them happy. Many common fantasy races are present as allies or adversaries, but with a unique twist. Take the nomadic riders of Prax, who are forbidden from riding horses so they ride fantastic beasts such as antelope, rhinos, elephants, etc. Elves exist as xenophobic plant-men. Dwarves have a culture and society that is highly foreign to humanity. True dragons have the power of gods. Dragon-folk exist as the Dragonewts, creatures that evolve into more advanced forms, eventually becoming dragons over the eons, and reincarnate into new bodies as they die. Trolls are a race gifted with immortality and great strength, but cursed with infertility. This setting has such a rich and intriguing lore, it is well worth the time and monetary investment.
Crashing now. I don’t understand...
Wed Oct 31 2018 ColtonRayLakesJust recently bought Six Ages and have been playing it for the last few days. Not sure if that has anything to do with the problem I’m experiencing but I’ve picked King of Dragon Pass back up and it will not let me view tribes in my relations screen or access it via the map screen. When I do try to view tribes it crashes the whole game and takes me back to my phones home screen. I’m at loss... it never did this before. Could it be an iOS update that messed it up? Please get back to me concerning this as I would appreciate it, immensely. Really enjoyed playing KoDP. Was a five star game, current problem withheld UPDATE: Thank you so much for correcting the issues and in such a timely manner, developers. You’re appreciated greatly!
My favorite iOS game
Sun Mar 28 2021 Brautigan25More than any other game, I keep coming back to this one and playing it over and over. Six Ages (a sort of prequel in the same vein) is a great game, too, but something about the original holds my attention more. Great replayability, no button mashing, story-driven yet flexible, immersive with tons of great little flourishes and touches. You can effectively play as “hard core” as you want, but also can reset the game back to its automatic save point (once every year - or 10 turns) for any prior completed year in your clan’s history. This is also a great treatment of the Glorantha source material and a great entry point to that world or a “must have” for anyone who discovered the RPG(s) or other games first.
Addicting in an annoying way
Thu Nov 03 2022 Super man9999I tried to play this game several times and failed and kept trying. The process took time, but eventually I got everything that I needed to know. however, on my last try, I became prosperous. I built a new tribe, became as strong as I can be, and my enemies feared me. Even when they ganged up on me, it was hopeless. But somehow, the trolls destroyed my clan from the inside out. I had no idea what happened, and I wasn’t able to do a thing about it. The people wanted to disband my clan even when I tried my best to make things right again. This game is annoyingly difficult and too stressful for its own good. You get addicted to it for a couple of days only to find out that all you’ve done was wasting your time and end up losing. This is not even in hard mode either. Take my advice and don’t waste your time and money buying this game.
Thinking men rejoice!!
Wed Apr 05 2017 LuckithroeUpdate: 2017 and this is still without question the best entertainment app in the store. I will have an iDevice as long as it is. I'm amazed they even released more content. This game has so much replay ability. Get it, now! I am so happy to have found this game. I am incredibly surprised by the depth and can't put it down. I wish there were more games on this level of awesomeness for the busy minded. P.S. Don't listen to the derp who claims it's not worth the money because he only played through it 4 or 5 times. A play through can easily take you 30+ hours. A good play though much, MUCH longer.
Solid game
Sat Apr 22 2017 The Don of New YorkThere was clearly a massive amount of work put into developing the lore for this game. And once you know it, it is extremely immersive. However, that is the drawback. You have to commit a couple hours to reading the manual and lore to know what you are doing. You cannot play this game blind and have any chance of winning. The advice from the advisors is useless since between them they will recommend every option. Don't get me wrong, I throughly enjoyed the game, but it was a lot of work getting ready to play. I never really enjoyed the hero quests though since it felt like trial and error to figure out the right choices, and once you did, you could do them over and over again easily.
