This looks like a really simple and easy to get into game. What could go wrong?

Tackling modern issues in fantasy steampunk land!

The gameplay in this kinda looks like a hot mess though.

This game hasn't been received too too well, but I've been enjoying the hell out of it.

Same here. The RTS aspects aren't particularly deep, but I've found the campaign really enjoyable.

I'd read a book about jetpack dragons, skeletons wearing wigs, and steampunk Elves; but have no interest in playing a game about it.

The pseudo-political stuff looks fun though.

Is the world ready for a black (dragon) president?

It's a spinoff from an RPG series, they're also working on an RPG right now (Divinity: Original Sin, I think) so you could play that instead.

This game looks fun. It has Dark Crusade's style of risk-esque map with Starcraft 2's ship talking mechanics.

Why please? Unless you have 'super-duper pc power go!' then it's an unnecessary tax on your machine.

@domineeto: I wouldn't call 7.5 "hasn't been received too too well." That's about what the average score is right now.

I have enjoyed my time with this game. The characters and general aesthetic are fun, and combat is acceptable. 40 dollars is probably a little high for how much I am enjoying it, but for say 20 it's a no brainer.

Sea of Sorrows, man had a flash of hope for Ravenloft there.

This game looks like a pretty deep dive out of combat. Looks intriguing.

Well you'd still be stuck with that broken leg or whatever. I'd figure even if undeath were an option, you'd want to be the most pristine dead person you can be.

Just so everyone knows, shit gets real at 16:47.

The fact that it took 16 minutes and 47 seconds for the dragon to finally show up does not make me want to buy this game.

I WILL say that I LOVE the art style.

I think I'll just wait for the next proper Divinity game.

I think the political aspects are a bit too gamey for my taste (despite the crazy and fun characters they've done a really good job with). As far as the game's reception, it's getting scores between 60's and 80's but mostly in the 70 range so yeah, nothing crazy good but not bad either.

I'm glad someone took the Starcraft II ship talking element and made it fun in their own way.

I wish I could skip the actual RTS combat like I do in Total War games and just focus on building up the realm doing the weird social interaction stuff.

The combat looks pretty unfulfilling, but the world seems super interesting. I wish it were just an action RPG...
