I supported this game back on patreon up until it's first graphic change when all the character models were changed the first time. I still stuck around for the story. As I really liked it. But now I come back after a while to discover the new game. The "remake". I'll be honest I'm not really sure what to think(if I should consider it good or bad). the original version of corrupted kingdoms was what got me interested in mystery/supernatural themed games. The character models are worse(I swear every time the models change it's for the worse.). The sound that's made when they talk gives me a headache. I didn't mind it as I already knew I was going into a remake and fisherman gave me a laugh. Until The grid system. I've always hated grid systems and the fact that In all the encounters(at least the ones I had) all characters had boxes on their heads were a major turn off for me. I will play the game again later . I will update this later when I do.
Current review
Overall: 3 stars out of 5
Character design: 3 star
reason: the noses look way too out of place.
Story: 5 stars
Reason: I'm biased sue me.
(In all seriousness I didn't mind a lot of the changes to the story at least the ones I got to as I was expecting it as I already knew I was going into a remake. So I was more accepting of it I think is a good way to put it. Also from my experience with the previous version I know that arc is likely to explain choices or why/how certain things happened via the story/plot. For example how exactly everyone knows about the fey in the remake. I'm sure that's going to be explained once you get far enough.).
New features: 3 star
Reason: let's start with the positive first . I thought the speech bubbles were a nice addition and the fact that it was made so you could change it back to the classic style bus settings was a nice touch.
Now onto the negative. I hate grid systems with a passion and the boxes on all encounter characters heads just seems lazy to me and we're a major turn off. Also the little audio thing that happened whenever someone talks gives me a headache.
So all in all as a former supporter you do you arc.
Don't let the haters or life get you down. I'm sorry to hear what happened with patreon. And I hope things get better for you and corrupted kingdoms.
Ps: sorry if this came across as pessimistic or mean. Didn't mean for it to. I'm just not the best at explaining things.
