Narborion Saga

Narrative, turn-based RPG in the style of a storybook adventure, combining random events, tactical combat, and roguelike elements ✅Good soundtrack in the background, I like the "war" one ✅Multiplayer mode, but no one plays this game ✅Character development and various builds ✅Simple graphics, graphics arent the most important thing in this game ✅Tactical combat that requires strategic thinking ✅Different worlds forest, deserts ✅❌The game is slow, with a lot of reading and clicking, so everyone has to answer the question for themselves whether they like this type of game ❌The biggest downside of this game is that after the death of the party, the game ends and you have to start over, without checkpoints or saves ❌The game's economy is very poorly balanced. The financial rewards are disproportionately small compared to the risk, and the high costs of healing and maintaining the party quickly lead to failure ✅✅Verdict: [strike] Very Bad [/strike] , [strike] Bad [/strike] , [strike] Average [/strike] , [strike] Decent [/strike] , [b] Good [/b] , [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for tested games) If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask.

Narborion Saga is an indie fantasy role-playing game that deliberately embraces the spirit of classic gamebooks and tabletop adventures, prioritizing narrative density and player choice over visual spectacle or fast-paced mechanics. Developed by XLiber Primus Games and published by Volens Nolens Games, the title positions itself as a sprawling text-driven saga where reading, decision-making, and imagination are the primary tools of engagement. From the outset, it makes clear that it is not attempting to compete with modern cinematic RPGs, but instead offers a slower, more contemplative experience rooted in traditional fantasy storytelling. The narrative framework is one of the game’s strongest defining elements. Players begin as a relatively unremarkable character whose journey gradually expands into a wide-ranging epic involving forgotten shrines, ancient evils, political tensions, and mythic creatures. The world of Narborion is conveyed almost entirely through text, with extensive descriptions of locations, events, and characters that encourage players to visualize the setting rather than rely on explicit visual cues. The story unfolds in chapters that feel episodic yet connecte…

I played for 20min (I'm assuming the 3.5 came from getting cards), and this is incredibly janky and bad. Walls of text. Just.... Walls of text. The dev clearly wants to write a novel, and should have done that instead (I read a lot, but I don't play videogames to read tens of thousands of words with no choices breaking up the paragraphs). On top of that, character creation is either terrible or broken: I decided I was going to focus on a mage, so built my stats accordingly (10 in Str, 18 int, 12 in the rest). Going to feats: they're all either for Dex or Str, and nothing else, and all require a 16 or more. So ♥♥♥♥ everyone who doesn't build a fighter, I guess..... The game, after a wall of text, dumps you striaght into a fight. There's no pre-fight inventory screen, so you have to equip all your gear in the fight. Which it lets you do, but is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird. The combat itself... it's extremely basic. Sometimes enemies didn't vanish for 10+ seconds after dying. This is not a graphically intense game........... Worth playing if paid to do so, maybe. Otherwise don't waste your time (or worse: your money).

The "Pay or Quit" wall

If I understand correctly, you need to play this game with your friends, because online is already dead

A fun little time-sink
