Tags: Kult: Heretic KingdomsIdle Thumbs has posted up their review of Kult: Heretic Kingdoms. While there is no score, it's pretty damned postive in nature with all kinds of wacky love going on, like this:
"Do you have some pathological need to help people?" says the miller to my salty heroine. This is the kind of reaction I would, under normal circumstances, expect from a new acquaintance to whom I had just given nearly all of my recently-looted money. It is a kind of reaction I would expect — and yet — not really. You see, I have been conditioned by this damn genre to accept that the perfect stranger I have just helped by bankrupting myself will say something like "Thank you," or "Thank you very much," or maybe even "Oh, thank you so very, very much! You're a lifesaver!" — and then continue to stand there ignoring me. In that light, miller's reaction was awe-inspiring. Nothing in the tone of the game up to that point prepared me for that response.
Some people are easily impressed by something slightly different. It's also nice to notice that the <s>moron</s>nice person who wrote the piece feels the need to express his real life political views on the reader as if we honestly give two shits about what he thinks of things other than the game itself.
Thanks, chaedwards!
