There really are not many other games quite like King of Dragon Pass, the fact this game was originally published in 1999 makes it even more fascinating. This is because the game feels ahead of its time now, let alone in the late 90s. This is partly thanks to the game being set in the world of Glorantha that feels fresh and creative (but is actually quite aged having been around since the 50's) in this post-DnD boom era where worlds closely derived from Tolkein have become oversaturated and cliche in the fantasy genre. The gameplay strikes an interesting balance between visual novel and tribal management simulation, where the main gameplay loop revolves around propitiating to the gods, learning lore to perform rituals reenacting the god's exploits during creation times, exploring and dealing with foreigners (human and inhuman) who have also moved into various corners of Dragon Pass, keeping your clan prosperous, dealing with various crises (internal and external) and warring, trading and uniting with the other clans around you. The game however does not make conquest it's main focus as many 4X games do, conquering land up to a certain point is useless and just makes your borders less defensible. Your clan will never snowball into an unstoppable economy either, inevitably splitting into smaller ones when it gets too big. You unite the lands through consent rather than conquest by creating a tribe with your neighbours, a tribe you may not always be the leader of. In the long game your ultimate goal is to lead your tribe and be crowned as King (or Queen) of Dragon Pass by everyone else by progressing the game's story and securing the loyalties of the other inhabitants of the region. Because of this, the game revolves far more around diplomacy and story telling, war becoming merely a means to these ends rather than the other way around as is common in most games of its kind. This approach towards warfare is reflected in the limited gameplay around war, battles being text based with only a few options here and there to influence their outcomes. So if you are looking for in depth warfare like in Total War games, you won't find that here. If you are looking for something a little retro with diplomacy that outdoes the rudimentary systems found in Total War and Civilisation games then you will find that here, and a lot of neat worldbuilding and story telling while you're at it. I haven't even played the original 1999 version yet as sadly it's only available on GoG not Steam, but I have seen screenshots and I think it looks even better than the Steam Port that I have already had alot of fun with.

It's a classic, the sort of game you have on the edges of your memory and try to recollect its name every once in a while, and my playtime on Steam is just my playtime now I've picked up this Steam/mobile version. Really, even with this release, for me the game is all about the world building and unpicking the lore and myths to it. The actual management side and navigation through the perils of Dragon Pass reflect design choices from a quarter of a century ago, slightly altered a decade ago for this release, and can grate at times when the game's systems aren't quite feeling cohesive or throw out results which raise an eyebrow. If you can get it for buttons and want to buy into that world building and the narrative choices then I'd recommend it. I've obviously held off this version until an 85% off sale so expectations for me were already suitably set.

i have significantly more hours on mobile, but figured i'd review here too. while i dont like the art nearly as much as Six Ages, this game's world is beautiful and fascinating and I feel forced to fully immerse myself in order to succeed. like my modern notions of ettiquete and morality do not work here, they do not keep my clan happy or healthy. you gotta adapt to what works in their culture

June 2025

Immersive narrative, with the lore and dynamics of the clan in Dragon Pass, truly addicting for me.

March 2025

This was, and is, an excellent start-to-the-trilogy. Buy them all, not just this one.
