<A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/">RPGDot</a> has posted <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=1063">their review</a> of <A href="http://www.kult.3dpeople.de/">Kult: Heretic Kindgoms</a>. It's overall positive with complaints about passive attunements and the like, but it scores a <b>79%</b>. Here's a bit on the attunements:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>There's a key strategic twist: many Attunements have a condition that must be met for the Attunement to work, such as "No Armour", "Melee" or an elemental alignment. In the case of elemental alignments, the character must be using a weapon of the correct alignment. For example, Fleet of Foot increases movement speed and is an air Attunement - it will only work in combination with an air weapon such as a Militia Air Bow. On the other hand, changing to a different weapon - say, a fire-aligned Shaman's Staff - will deactivate Fleet of Foot but any fire Attunements will instantly switch on. This opens up a gamut of possibilities: players may choose to specialise in one type of Attunement or combine different alignments, which can be accessed by switching weapons.</blockquote>

Which would confuse the hell out of me, and force me to just deal with one element.

But see, Saint, that's the beauty of attunements. They sound confusing and daunting, but they really aren't. Once you get into the game and start using them, it all becomes clear. Sure there's a bit of a learning curve for some of the more extensive uses, but by the time it comes to needing that knowledge, you've pretty much got it down pat.

And I think 79% is a fair score. That's about what I would give it.

I guess my score would land somewhere above ~70%ish. Game was very promising for a first, hope it sells well enough for the guys to make a sequel or a brand new game with a little bigger budget. A developer to watch for the future, absolutly.

The idea behind attunements is a nice change from the standard fare and the graphics appear quite good, but it really needs to be more than a hack'n'slash to attract my attention. I guess my time for gaming has become so scarce that I don't want to spend 20-100 hours playing whack-a-mole unless it's a first-person shooter. Still, I wish the developer well and hope that they come up with an even better game in the future.

Most action RPGs are totally unoriginal with zero story, so its great to read of one with an original story, meaningful quests and different game mechanics. But that's just a bonus because I'd buy it anyway just to hear Tom Baker.
