Kingsway Review
A cute little RPG made by one person. The gimmick is that your adventure is shown via a Windows-like interface with a desktop, progression bars, and, well, windows.
The RPG itself is a very simple ordeal with Diablo-like loot and random encounters. The gimmick is very sweet, with charming elements like the music being turned on/of in an in-game version of Winamp. When you fight, the window that represents the enemy floats, making you hunt it with a cursor, and sometimes you need to ‘catch’ sudden windows that represent missiles or traps. I’ve found a single enemy that actually utilizes the Kingsway‘s unusual interface: a phantom that minimizes a random window with every attack, making it harder to use items.
Seems like the game wants you to encourage multiple playthroughs, but the random quests and lack of any challenge or incentive save for clicking a couple of buttons quickly makes it unbearable.
It’s also overpriced. If you’re interested, I strongly suggest waiting for at least a 50% discount.
Still, Kingsway is charming, fun for a couple of hours, and generally a very decent game for a one-person team.
