Well it is in my wishlist but didn't tried it yet. From the little I saw it felt like the same game but with weird gods and a bit more water management. So yeah surely will not get it until it's on high discount since I dont really feel like there's much more to it, maybe I'm wrong tho. Recently I started playing thronefall, very good surprise and very good game but quite different of course.
I remember K&C not having much optimization issues, sounds weird that a simple game like that would have some indeed.
