Keep in mind I am NOT a LoL fan nor have I ever played LoL. I am however a huge fan of the developers and their other game Battle Chasers Night War that I did beat on hardest difficulty and loved. I am about half way through the story and I will say it's absolutely wonderful. The characters, the story, the gameplay, it feels like Battle Chasers 2. But it isn't quite battle chasers. Now in my opinion, Battle Chasers was far more fun than this, it had much better mechanics and the story felt more original. The story here feels a bit all over the place and kind of bland comparably. If you are a fan of LoL and love games like Final Fantasy 4-8, you'd love this game. It does have speed up options for combat which is a must. The combat has amazing tempo to it, each choice, strategy, and action feels fast, responsive, and unique. Each combat makes you think, especially on the tougher difficulty. I'm not playing on the hardest difficulty here, only Veteran, and I have to admit it's very easy. I died once and it was to the sea serpent that needed to either be debuffed or not attacked for one turn. My build had neither, so I changed it to a debuff build. I had 2 DPS, 1 tank/heal/debuffer. Mostly tank. One dps was a buffer for crits, another used crits to stack true damage, the other DPS would then use Gale to further stack true damage. Then I'd use illoi to stack heals per damage. So against big enemies each hit did high crit chance, true damage stacks, ignite, healed the attacker, and built up for massive crit multi attack that further stacked true damage. For bursts, i'd use an ult that turned my crit to between 70-90 percent for 2 turns and do a multi attack mana burst with 2 DPS. Against the sea boss with like 4k health, as long as I kept proper rotation. I won with almost full health because he kept getting debuffed before he could use his massive attack. If you haven't noticed I sound like a WoW player, then I'll spoil it. I got over 9000 hours on WoW and this game definitely has that feel to it. I could have an entirely different play style too. Since using enchantments, abilities, and runes mostly dictate how you play. So each player will play their own unique way. I absolutely recommend the game if it's discounted which I got it heavily discounted. But if you like LoL and Final Fantasy games like 8 or you loved Battle Chasers Night War especially, then get this game full price. It's amazing and you won't be disappointed. Edit: I just beat the game on Heroic difficulty. I found veteran to be too easy. I didn't do the legendary weapons and most of my gear was level 24. I beat ruined king with illoai, braum the beast, and yasou. Im probably misspelling them. Absolutely amazing game. The last fight took me about 20 minutes and it put me on the edge of my seat. I beat him on my first try. I wanted to try to make the final fight at least somewhat tough so I did not upgrade most of my gear and just rushed straight into it. The main thing is if you are good at knowing what to attack with, when, keeping shields up, healing at the right time, stacking crits, and using ults effectively. The fight is pretty easy. I did kind of almost die at the end. I had a ruined Braum and a 13k health ruined king to contend with on top of all my characters at low health. If I didn't kill him immediately, I'd have died because I didn't have enough time to top up. So i used an ult and thankfully it crit. His crit was like 80 percent and I'm pretty sure if he didn't crit I'd have died. It did 11k damage. Then I finished him off with a good ol braum wack. I don't think I'll achievement run for this game. To be honest, once you reach the end you feel pretty complete. To be frank, if anyone made this game other than Airship syndicate, I'd probably not have beaten it. Airship Syndicate seriously needs to make more games and improve on their formula because hot damn they make good ♥♥♥♥. Seriously devs, you make it I'll buy it. But I want to admit, battle chasers was way better, this game did have a better story though. Definitely enjoyed the story more, but I didn't enjoy the gameplay as much. Even so I'm giving it a 10/10.

8.5/10 I will preface all of this by saying that I'm a League player, so I do have a decade of nostalia. Always been a lover of the League lore. They also did a great job of re-creating League abilities in ways that make sense in this game, which is fun. This game has really fantastic writing, both in the story and in the character dialogue and development. Even the moments of chatter over the fire while resting has a lot of cool development. The game also has very cool combat. It is turn-based, but it has very interesting features with the "lane" system it uses. I really enjoyed it all game through, trying to balance when to use standard attacks, lane abilities, or ults. I think the Overcharge function is also a very cool addition to this. It allows you to build up some bonus mana so that you're not expending your actual mana. The main negative of the combat was that the enemies started to get a bit repetitive. Towards the end, there are a fair number which are reskinned versions of earlier monsters. I did not mind it too much, as you mostly only need to fight things once each, unless backtracking through zones. The overworld movement is meh. The run feature should be the default, not a toggle. I didn't find it for a while and movement was really slow before that. Overall the game is very good! Honestly, way better than I was expecting.

Voice acting spectacular, art beautiful, combat pretty good, music incredible. What do you mean we get so many cutscenes that the game was practically a movie? I got the game because.... Ahri and Miss Fortune but you don't even need to know anything about League to play this game. Very addicting to play. You can't get tired of it (except maybe the teleport option and you mostly have to walk a lot).

Riot Forge having been shut down is a real shame. We may never see another standalone experience like Ruined King set within the League of Legends universe. Even if you're a complete newbie, the game brings its characters to life in ways actually greater than the way they've been portrayed in League itself. The dialogue is thoughtful and the visuals really strike a chord, while the turn-based combat is seemingly somewhat trivial yet engaging when playing around with team comps. This title is truly something special and could have deserved a star more.
