What players say
This is a FANTASTIC couch coop game. This is also a wonderful game if you have a friend who is like "I dOn'T PlAy ViDeO GaMeS...." Just tell them, "Dude it's like a choose your own adventure book, you don't have to do anything but choose a path." "Well I don't read..." At that point I give you permission to ditch them, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Anyways, this is a wonderful indie game, it...

Notch one up for Critical Role on recommending a fun party game. You and up to three other friends choose characters to go on a D&D-lite adventure, where you make choices by dragging your miniatures around the board, often times rolling a d100 to find out whether you succeed or fail, and the story progresses onward. This game CAN be played solo, but SHOULD be played with a group of friends speaking out the parts out...
I feel it's maybe a 2/5 - 3/5. It's a good game with animation, but I find it a little too simple and it gets boring after a while. I preferred For The King as a co-op game.
