Skald has released it's v1.0. I really enjoyed the early access demo so I thought we should dive in and see if the game can deliver on it's early promise. According to Microsoft CoPilot, Skald is an "old-school roleplaying game that combines modern design and a fully realized narrative with authentic 8-bit looks and charms. The game is set in a dark fantasy world, full of tragic heroes, violent deaths, and cosmic horror. Players can explore environments, interact via dialogue, engage in tactical combat, and develop a party of up to 6 characters."
It is a good game and the retro look is both its best and it's worst feature. The game play itself is solid and the storyline is good, but the Ultima-esque graphics are the party trick that are going to hook people or drive them away.
