Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat Kult: Heretic Kingdoms. We can make our own games!

The only publisher currently is P3 Interactive for Europe. I'm afraid there is no release for the UK, US or Aus at this point (other than imports) - I will ask 3D People for more info on other regions but don't expect any quick releases in other regions.

I'm not sure how much weight to give the editor - I have played a preview version, which didn't include the editor (to my knowledge) and I have interviewed 3D People and iHobo who didn't raise it at all - I suspect it's not really a major feature but I stand to be corrected.

You can find my hands-on preview here, which may be useful for the general gameplay:

The Kult-Demo is out:

Sounds nice this...
The main question is if the carractre system works, though... As a huge fan of the Arcanum carractre system I get the feeling it's a little bit too randomized but I don't know. It seems to be a rather good game though and I might try it, let's say for chistmass? That's a nice time since I don't have to pay for it myself, and I'll get plenty of time to finnish BD. If anyone would happen to play it, I think this is a nice place to post some comments, though (I wonder when RPGdot will release their review).

2-3 weeks for the review. I'm waiting for a final version to travel from The Netherlands to me in Australia (there were 11 new release candidates after the version I previewed).

Good to hear it Dhruin. I have been waiting on this game for almost.. a year? Something like that. I look forward to the reveiw. Cheers!

The patch upgrades Kult to v1.1. and fixes all problems with containers and even
contains a major improvement in using the containers. Several other minor problems will be solved with the patch a.o. some Spanish version bugs and a memory usage

I downloaded and installed the Demo and I must say I like it!!!

I only have 2 wishes:

I wish the game had a Mini Map so I could know where I’ve been and where I’m going.

I wish there was different camera angle choices so I could zoom in a bit closer on my character.

Other than that, it’s an interesting and fun game.

I've found a link to an interview Interview at RPGDot ... Chris Bateman ... wasn't he at Perfect Entertainment a few years ago, responsible for the Discworld Adventures ?

Yep, he was lead designer on the brilliant Discworld Noir for starters. He has since started International Hobo doing contract consulting on game scripts and dialogue. Definitely had a big impact on Kult.

Yes, I've read in an interview (linked by RPGDot), that he indeed is involved ...

A thing that slightly surprised (mildly speaking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) me was that only female heroines can be played ... is that true ?

If so, then it is... unique.

it is true alrik
the hero is female...
just bought the game... don't know if it is worth yet...

does anyone know how to get out of the monastery... in the beginning?
i'm stuck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

My wife played the Demo Master Guroth and I remember, as I watched her play, that you need to go into Dreamland/Dreamworld to see things too.
In Dreamland/Dreamworld you'll encounter other creatures and you'll see chests and other doorways.
Your master will let you leave as soon as you have completed all of the taskes in there.

Good luck

just finished the game (very short 15-20 hours in normal setting i think with all quests completed except one... well two but one is a bug...)...

liked it... good Action/RPG game...
good story. good sense of humour.
some opportunities to roleplay (even if it is mostly an action game IMO)
very simple but efficient and often funny skill system.
i was not convinced but the stat system though as i finished the game with 3/4 stats @ max lvl... (ok it's more an action game than a rpg but yet...)

i was disapointed by the ends though... there are several ends but there are all decideable in the 30 last seconds of the game by dialog boxes and not inducted by the consequences of our acts (i think it could be though... but as it is we can choose an end in complete contradiction to what we've done...)

even if there are some terrific fights in the game the "bosses" are surprisingly weaks...

ok i had some fun with that game anyway...

I just read on RPGDot that they are finally bringing this game over to North America. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> It looks like they are dropping the "Kult" part of the title and instead calling it "Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition."

w00t! I will probably buy it then.

Suddently all I can think of is Monty Pythoon...

Nobody suspects the Spanish inquisition!
