The more I play KB the more I can tell it was a labor of love on the part of the devs.
So many little touches (rats, bats, ravens, frogs, background animations), clever and funny lines (I laugh out loud more than I have in a long time with a game and b/c I'm supposed to, not because I'm mocking it)....
There are a lot of quests, interesting choices, I never know what lies around the next corner.
The rage box is simply amazing! The dialogue, winning the spirits over, how they grow....
The layers of character development: skill tree, spells, rage box, wife, items, troops, leveling .... wonderful.
I never played the original KB so have no idea what is taken from it and improved and what is new and original but this KB is a classic and will stay on my hard drive for a long, long, long time....
Great job, developers - you deserve to have this richly succeed here in the U.S. which I'm hoping will happen as the reviews pour in and word-of-mouth (I already have two friends buying it from my raving over it).
Oh, and clean up all the moved topics
no one needs them there and they make this board impossible to read.
