Somehow I had not logged this on backloggd. Well, time to correct that mistake. King of Dragon Pass is easily one of the best strategy games I've ever played, and despite not being primarily a roleplaying game, also easily plows over most of that genre in terms of actual roleplaying. To finish the game you have to build an intuitive grasp of the Iron Age-inspired culture you are leading, and use that to respond to situations appropriately. It's a fantasy setting too, so sometimes that cultural knowledge is knowing that bringing out a lawyer to sue the ghost is the correct solution to a haunting.

In addition, events are a joy to read, and the art that comes with them is wonderful. If there's any criticism to levy against this game, I suppose it would be the randomness of heroquests, which can sometimes be frustrating when you are trying to finish the game. The strategy layer itself isn't that satisfying either most of the time either, but I see it as mostly a vessel for the narrative so I was never too bothered by it.

Definitely play! The best duck warriors outside of Suikoden 3 also included!

Edit: I see now that someone else mentioned the legal claim thing, well, it is a memorable event.
