  Have many good things but lacks of some elements make this game slighly disappointing

  By Mehfuz | Review Date: Nov 24, 2005 | PC

  Kult: Heretic Kingdoms is a RPG game with some novelties. If I say frankly, in first look it seems a boring game to me. But as the game progress it becomes one of my all time favourite RPG game. It has all the things tha... Read Full Review

  A familiar hack'n'slash gameplay with a unique skill-acquiring method.

  By KingLim | Review Date: Nov 19, 2007 | PC

  This is one of those budget titles that capitalises on the popular Diablo II style hack'n'slash formula with a unique twist in the way you upgrade your character. But firstly, the story touches on religion, albeit in an ... Read Full Review

  Solid RPG, sadly enough vastly underrated. Not the best RPG ever but a truly good one with innovative elements.

  By noctilucus | Review Date: Oct 19, 2007 | PC

  The basic storyline of this isometric RPG is quite simple: a weapon once used to kill a god (hence called the Godslayer) has been stolen and it is up to you, the female heroine, to retrieve and destroy it. However the ga... Read Full Review

  Good surprise: This game is very enjoyable, and offers a lot more than you may assume at first look.

  Yes, this kind of isometric RPG looks old at first sight. But the 3D characters on the 2D background blend rather well, and great attention has been given to details. I must admit that during the first hour of this game,... Read Full Review

  a good game for those times spent in-between major titles like NWN2

  By dmso12 | Review Date: Nov 15, 2006 | PC

  Not bad at all ... I played it most of the way through. If released at the same time, I'd say this was as good or better than Diablo. Basically, this is Diablo with enhancements like leveling up according to what weap... Read Full Review

  Kind of a cross between Diablo and FFIX, a strange fusion but successful.

  By malkav11 | Review Date: Mar 16, 2006 | PC

  Originally released in Europe (and this is the version I played) under the less offputting name of "Kult: Heretic Kingdoms", this little action-RPG is a criminally overlooked gem. While it doesn't quite have the immediat... Read Full Review

  Heretic Kingdoms is one of those little games that surprises the gamer with a fresh approach to an old idea.

  By chetwebb | Review Date: May 08, 2005 | PC

  Heretic Kingdoms reminds me a lot of the role playing games being served up during the Baldur's Gate period. The graphics are similar to those of the time, the gameplay is story based, and the gamer develops a fondness f... Read Full Review

  Good mixture of combat and story

  By Seerix | Review Date: Jan 26, 2005 | PC

  I always wondered how could this simple (and buggy) game get such a high score on many game sites and magazines. But when I think about it... it's quite possible. What makes this game seem so good is that it doesn't ... Read Full Review
