What ho, traveler. This game rules. It has a really fun combat system and a great ruleset, the story is amazingly fun and the way you interact with the world is fantastic, making a character build feels really thoughtful, a true cross between Fallout 1 and Baldur's Gate. The art and music, too, are truly incredible. Major downside? This game is, unfortunately, very buggy. I lost my progress multiple times. Maybe...

7.5 hours in, serpent in the staglands is great. It's not quite the same as darklands, in that there is a lot more isometric party based stuff and not really any of the menu based city stuff. It's like a cross between fallout 1&2 and darklands maybe with a little baldurs gate 1 thrown in there. It's more fantasy themed, and less medieval than darklands. Real time with pause. It's awesome. Highly recommend it, all...

This is a game that demands a great deal of patience. There is clear passion behind it, but its commitment to tabletop-style design often works against the experience rather than enhancing it. The lack of a quest log feels more frustrating than immersive. Other games have shown that it is possible to guide the player without removing challenge, but here it often leads to confusion instead of discovery. The game...

Ending seems bugged Octavian accused me of a doing a bunch of evil stuff (slaughtering a town, binding the will of my companions) when I didn't do any of that. And his argument was so stupid: you did bad stuff, so help me commit genocide. And Necholai goes I guess you're right, ok I'll help you. You don't get to make a choice either, which is frustrating. Wish there was the option to say no just to spite Octavian....

SitS has its heart in the right place, but unfortunately there are too many severe problems that drag it down. The game's many areas are either stuffed with trash mobs (in the wilderness) or with nameless NPCs and empty houses (in the settlements). Unique NPCs and puzzles are relatively rare. Meanwhile, most side quests are bounty missions of the "go there, kill that" variety. As a consequence, exploration is rarely...

This game is great. A little different, but different is definitely good. It reminds me of when I was younger and get a new game, like Darklands, Dark Sun, Wiz 7, or Realms of Arkania, and I had to take my time and figure out the rules and not know what was going to happen. We have kind of been indoctrinated now to know our hands will be held and we can just click through everything or not worry about the...

Firstly, everything that you've read about this games opacity and difficulty is true. I never played Darklands, it's 'spiritual predecessor', but just about every other 16bit classic I have - including Ultima VII again, only recently. I liked: The setting, character and the writing of the game. At times knowing or literate or funny, and at others merely enjoyably silly. It felt like the strongest part of the game. I...

What a beautifully crafted game, I truly regret I didn't hear of this when it was on Kickstarter. So, Serpent in the Staglands is a CRPG made by 2 people, a couple, who are pretty amazing at what they do. One makes art that is in the same style of old 90s games aesthetically, and the other creates the assets/rules/codes like some wizard determined to bring out a really great game. For the game itself; it is truly a...

They did not lie the game is really a throw back to the 90’s rpg like darklands , only adding more things over it, a melting pot from the best classic rpgs ,some bladur’s gate influence a fallout like overland map with events , and a whole flexible and customizable at will combat and spells kill set in an unique setting. Unique is indeed the best word to describe it , the beautiful pixel art gives an eerie and alien...
