KickStarter SKALD: Against the Black Priory - retro RPG inspired by Ultima

[Abu Antar]

What class did you guys go with? I chose Hospitaller.

So far, so good. Not much to complain about. Impressions will have to wait until I have more hours under my belt.

What classes are you all playing?

I ran a pure mage. Most of the time I stood back and nuked with fire, or just worn down enemies with magic missiles.

VGA patch when?

After the orange and green monochrome patches.

I went for officer savant. I'm playing on hard.

 

[Tyranicon]

I'm a fire-focused battle magos.

Seems to be somewhat weak at lower levels, but I'll stick with it and see if the more advanced spells are better.

Everyone playing on Hard difficulty? Read the game poses a very nice challenge on it.

Starting on hard, and if I turn out to be a chickenshit, I'll lower it to normal.

Playing as a ranger: is there a way to learn spells (e.g. scrolls / spellbooks / teachers / etc),or do you just get spells when you put points into skill? In the ranger's case it's nature magic.

After the orange and green monochrome patches.

Uhh, excuse me, but it's amber not orange.

Bought. Looking forward to checking out little guys bopping along at the gay bar.

But, when are you going to play Skald?

 

[Comte_IV]

Just bought this despite the fact I have bitched about what year is it coming out for years under my various alter egos

Playing custom with all dice-fudging turned off. I don't like dice-fudging. If it turns out to be too easy without dice-fudging I'll probably turn it back to Hard (and be disappointed).

Started an hour ago with an Officer. Impressed with the game. Quality shit.

 

[Incognito]

The balls on this dev. Not only he has two genders on character creation, they're male and female.

 

[Rephyrnomicon]

Started as battlemagos on hard, focusing on fire magic. Definitely tough battles through the first couple of hours since I dumped everything into talking all nice and shit, but it’s a very solid game so far. I think there’s something here.

"Additional Vendor: (((Malachai the Magical Item Merchant))) - A vendor that sells a handful of unique magical items, available from the Refugee’s Camp and beyond." locked behind deluxe dlc...

trash.

 

[Takamori]

Its on my sights, can I do a HUMAN, WARRIOR, TWO HANDED and HEAVY ARMOR meme?

 

[Tyranicon]

->Begin le epic adventure of swords and sorcery

->Me, two hours later, desperately stealing fish like a hobo

Game seems good, but combat is pretty much unreadable.

 

[AdolfSatan]

Yeah, I just fired it for a test run and combat screen is a spastic mess. Gave the hierophant a shot but the spells and buffs look pretty boring, might restart with a warrior class.

/E fwiw, if you’re on Windows, activating the greyscale or tritanopia filters improves the screen’s readability quite noticeably. That’s how botched the color palette is.

 

[Jenkem]

waiting for bandersnatch's review

 

[mediocrepoet]

Is there any documentation about this game anywhere? Like a spells list, etc.

It's clunky mucking around with chargen to have a look, especially since you can't go back a screen, so every time I actually have to start a game over and then abort it after checking out the feats screen.

 

[pakoito]

What's the combat like? Is there any meat to the encounters, or is it at least aggressively skippable? Does it have puzzles too, or just CYOA scenes?

Wait, dice-fudging is turned on on hard? That's disappointing
