Saga of the North Wind user reviews :
I tried the first three, free chapters (with ads): It is a choose-your-own-adventure text game. The story is very linear however, the choices mostly change some statistics, which later may have results on success of an action, or available choices. There are several statistics about your success factors like e.g. charisma, advisor preference, favor from gods, size and wealth of your tribe. These stats are not available from the start, but get added over the course of the first three chapters. The setting and the the story are a typical good-versus-bad survival fantasy epic, the comparatively high and deverse amount of stats, together with there impact on success, add a strategy aspect. The story telling is good, there are no inconsistencies across the choices. There are some cases where choices seem important, but have no impact, where the description of the choices does not match what then happens, or where the impact is a bit blown up.
this game is not good enough for a 4 or 5 star. for starters – No save points. terrible idea if you’re going to allow people to die in the game, restarting the entire game sucks. second – you don’t add notifications to show what stats our choices increased and decreased(By the way, why does any of our stats decrease?), this just makes the game unnecessarily a lot more difficult when I try and gain increases on certain stats. Other than that, decent Book. Great story, romance options, etc.
The story itself was very entertaining and even frustrating events turned up boosting my skills. However the ending was a problem. Despite my abilities being more than sufficient to carry ne where I wanted to be, they weren’t sufficient to accomplish my goal. It didn’t seemed fair that despite all my hard work, suddenly I wasn’t good enough to get the ending I wished for, though that itself might be a plus for other players.
Not a particularly engaging story but certainly entertaining. Cool seeing Slavic mythology. But still, it is weirdly uninteresting and somewhat dry. The writing style is good but again dry. Pretty cool villain and cool patronage system. It has it’s pros and cons.
The Story was good, but honestly the ending felt slightly anti climatic, and no matter what choices you made you were never going to really change the outcome. Honestly it felt very railroaded, which is understandable but upsetting.
