A lovely, classic RPG. I especially like the style, the atmosphere and the setting.
I really like that return to 'dark RPG', reminds me of the old War Craft I & II games and early Magic The Gathering.
What I would like to improve: Fights feel sometimes a bit 'clunky', because the battlefield is often very small. I would like to have some longer, more strategic fights.
However I am very happy with this game, kudos to the solo developer and the guy who made the soundtrack!

This game gripped me from the beginning. I love the aesthetic and style of this game. Beautiful pixel art, great bit chip soundtrack, combat that is simple but deep enough to be engaging, a story that gets better and better as you uncover of the games secrets, all of it comes together to make a wonderful experience.

There are some bugs that are reported, I for one experienced a game breaking bug once during my playthrough. I had to use the included command console that the devs encourages players to use as many of the bugs are well known and easy to get around if experienced. I only faced one of these bugs and it was only a minor set back, but I still recommend you to save a lot.

Playing this at night with all the lights off a warm drink and the silence of the world around me brought me back to a earlier time, playing Ultima and Bauldur's gate as a kid. Its a certain feeling that was only captured by a certain era of video games, SKALD: Against the Black Priory captures that feeling, that soul very well. This game is amazing, one of my new favorite Indie games, I would love a sequel or DLC or anything, take my money lol.

The aesthetics are beautiful, and the "cutscenes" are fantastic. The combat is fairly straight forward once you get the hang of it. The narrative is where the game shines (combined with the way it is told via gameplay/cutscenes), and I was pleasantly surprised with the final resolution of the plot. Breath of fresh air I might add. The devs have created a remarkable game - well done! The length of this game (23 hours) was perfect for me - just the right amount of time to keep me engaged. No fluff. I played the game with disabled random encounters.

Looking forward to any future games by this team.

Also, I managed to obtain all achievements - first time doing so after 18 years on Steam :)
