How's Skald? It looks interesting

It is. Very atmospheric, and I'm sure there's a whole lot more depth to things like combat and crafting if you're interested.

For me it's just an easy and accessible story RPG. The text-based dialogue and turn-based mechanics make it ideal for on the road gaming IMO. You can look up from your screen or suspend and drop the Deck into your bag at any point.

The writing is great and the game feels much, much, much more fluid than the actual old games it is based on. A lot of love and care has been put into this. It's very affordable and the most battery-friendly game I've played. So when you start up your Deck on the train and only have 15% left, this gives you much more enjoyment per battery charge than anything else.

Full disclosure: I happen to know the artist who did the character art.
