Reviewing an RPG it’s actually not an easy job, because they demand a long time of gaming to basically understand the principles of the game. Betrayal at Krondor it’s not the exception of this rule, since it offers us a huge amount of hours of gameplay. The main plot is based on the famous book saga called Riftwar that takes place in two different planets called Midkemia and Kelewan, a place of magic and brave warriors.

Betrayal at Krondor is a strategy/RPG game based on the Riftwar saga, a series of fantasy novels written by Raymond E. Feist. Even though the story of the game and the characters are based on these books, the actual plot of Betrayal at Krondor takes place ten years after the last book and of course the riftwar was over, but there are still a lot of things to tell and that’s why we start this adventure with Seigneur Locklear, one of the finest swordsmen of Midkemia.

One of the best things of the gameplay of Betrayal at Krondor is the fact that the interface allows you to basically do everything you need with your mouse. Left click is used to select and activate stuff, the right click is used to look at things and secondary actions, if there is any, double clicking is meant to activate things that you have to select before and clicking-and-dragging is designed to choose and move items.

Betrayal at Krondor offers real time combats; if you want to win most of them, the trick is to surprise your enemies with a well calculated plan of attack. Stand behind them, far enough to not be noticed, select them and then plan your attack to get the first blow. If they are not surprised by your attack, they might steal the first blow from you so be careful.

There are literally 384 pages of a novel that tells the history of the events in Betrayal at Krondor, but we assure you that the game is way better than the novel so go ahead and try it out right now.
