In fact, it closely resembles Fable in a lot of ways, except that this is a turn-based strategy RPG.

:lol:

Oh my god

Andres Ruiz is currently studying advertising at Florida International University. Some of his favorite series include Tekken, Legend of Zelda, and Katamari. He gets most of his writing tips from his golden retriever, Maya, who also has more facial hair than him. He will have a beard one day, as well as the last laugh.
Sounds like a bunch of console gamers that suddenly decided to sample some PC games.

And yet he can't read a manual or play the fucking tutorial.

Bragging about supposed videogame experience before saying anything of useful: easiest way of spotting a hipster.

Bros, Chapter 2 of the game is out now.

Hi there, we are proud to tell you that you can play chapter 2 from now on. We want to thank you very much for your detailed feedback and your bug reports. We are constantly improving the quality of the game and keep discussing your feature requests.

Chapter 2 is of smaller scope than chapter one and thus will take less time to play through. This is not because we were too lazy to produce content. But our writer and game designers agree that this, at least in our humble opinion, is the best way possible to present the story. The good news is that chapter 3, all sidequests included, will be around twice the size of chapter 1. So stay tuned for new content!

This Chapter abandons the kiddy gloves and starts the trully hard battles, so prepare for some fun and for MASSIVE butthurt on Steam forums.

Has anyone been able to complete the lizardman assault without a single fisherman dying? It seems impossible, but I have to wonder if there's a unique reward for success.

I don't see how that would be possible, as some will get one shot by javelins well before you have the opportunity to prevent it.

And there's the issue of falling rocks as well.

I found the second chapter rather disappointing. All of the encounters were easier and felt less thought out, no side quests and practically no meaningful story - and I wager that the story it did have will be unimportant overall.

Really? The Takate, Crocodiles and Final fights were very hard during the closed beta, with people complaining they were impossible and all that... Darth Roxor, did you tried it again? Do you think they nerfed it?
