Of course, I’ve done one of each. However, I don’t know how to put new people in my klan ring, for as I try, the original people appear to be there. There was a person on YouTube who did this easily, but I cannot for some reason. This othere person was also visually impaired, as I am and used his vision whereas I use VoiceOver from Apple. I also can’t see how to safely complete one of the hero quests and remember all that happened in the myth at the same time. Good game, though/worth its money if a little frustrating at times. Ashleigh Piccinino P.S. I’ve noticed some very strange things happening with the game. If too many things are open, the game can crash/have to reopen the game. Plus, it’s hard for me to constantly scroll through all the options as I’m using the VoiceOver system on my iPhone to do so. I think this game needs major improvements as far as being more accessable with VoiceOver. The map doesn’t work hardly at all, saying “unknown hex” or “explored hex.” What does that mean? And why doesn’t VoiceOver speak the plaes on the map—it does but very rarely. I need to know where I’m sending my people to, in cardinal diretions, you know. Also, if you need to read an entire manual to play a game, it’s not a game at all...I don’t think. Why can’t the manual be in a few brf files you can save on your computer and read with a Braille display? That way, you have something to refer to without having to go bak into the menu, back into the manual, and back into what you’re happening to have trouble with. Not worth the ten dollars, in my opinion until these things get fixed. ### 5/5 — g *2018-12-21* when will you have is the Russian version games **Developer response:** Спасибо! Unfortunately, translation to any language is not practical, and Russian might be a little worse than some (я немного знаю русский язык). The code is not designed to handle grammatical gender or case, and there are also well over 640 000 words in the game. http://kingofdragonpass.blogspot.com/2013/11/loss-in-translation.html ### 5/5 — Who would thought? *2018-11-05* Who would thought that the game made in very late 90s, would blow up as one of the best experience, lying baked af, and pattering throughout the story that is puzzled by the player. 20y later! ### 5/5 — Crashing now. I don’t understand... *2018-10-31* Just recently bought Six Ages and have been playing it for the last few days. Not sure if that has anything to do with the problem I’m experiencing but I’ve picked King of Dragon Pass back up and it will not let me view tribes in my relations screen or access it via the map screen. When I do try to view tribes it crashes the whole game and takes me back to my phones home screen. I’m at loss... it never did this before. Could it be an iOS update that messed it up? Please get back to me concerning this as I would appreciate it, immensely. Really enjoyed playing KoDP. Was a five star game, current problem withheld UPDATE: Thank you so much for correcting the issues and in such a timely manner, developers. You’re appreciated greatly! **Developer response:** Version 2.4 is now out and fixes the tribe map under iOS 12. ### 3/5 — ?? *2018-10-16, version 2.3.2* I really hope seeing how I paid for the game just to finally finish the making the clan u guys won’t just forget about us n will update ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-08-23, version 2.3.2* Very fun game. Still haven’t beat t although I have tried many times. Great replayability. ### 5/5 — The Classic, and still improving *2018-06-12* This iOS version has become the de facto version of the unparalleled open-ended narrative-based culture builder from 20 years ago. Great implementation. Let's hope some newer games finally go in the KoDP direction since it's gotten so much more visibility thanks to iOS. **Developer response:** We’d love to see more games in that direction too! In the mean time, we made another. Check out Six Ages (coming this month to the App Store): sixages.com ### 5/5 — Great *2018-05-03* A real challenge, makes you think carefully and keeps you interested. Really good purchase. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2018-05-01* It’s been quite a while since this game as been updated. But, you should all give it a try! I have been playing for almost 3 years and it is still on my phone. Great lore Great writing Great art Lots of rng **Developer response:** Sorry, we’ve been busy making Six Ages… ### 5/5 — Still great *2018-02-18, version 2.3.2* Great entertainment. Wish it had iPhone X support. Best money spent in the App Store. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-01-24* Please, update for iPhone X **Developer response:** I understand your desire, but it works well enough on my iPhone X that we are putting our effort into the sequel, Six Ages. So this is on our list but not high priority right now. ### 5/5 — Best *2017-12-29* Of the best. ### 5/5 — Timeless pleasure *2017-12-22* This is without a doubt one of the greatest game of all times! **Developer response:** I don’t understand what update you are asking for — please let us know at bugz@a-sharp.com if there is a specific problem ### 5/5 — Perfect!!! *2017-12-13* From all aspects!!! ### 5/5 — Screw those One Star Guys *2017-11-30, version 2.3.2* I’ve play this game NUMEROUS times each with a different play style. The variety of what you wanna do with your clan is limitless. ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-09-05, version 2.3.2* I enjoy how every game I play has new outcomes. Really a great story. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very little game here *2019-09-28, version 2.4* Lots of screens, lots of choices to make, but it all feels random and outside of any logic. Boring from the get go and didn’t improve. ### 1/5 — Work *2015-12-17, version 2.3.2* If you love homework and don't have anything better to do you might like this. But in my opinion if you really wanted to work and study you're better off getting a second job or going to school as this would actually help your life and probably be more fun. ### 1/5 — Completely arbitrary *2014-12-14* Everything about this game is completely arbitrary. Send 25 weapon thanes and 150 men against 6 weapon thanes and 40 men. You lose and 30 people are taken hostage. Send half that. You win. Events pop up and outcomes are random, much like everything else you do in this game. It's mediocre at best, but a complete waste of time for anyone who likes actual strategy games ### 1/5 — Put an easy mode now! *2014-04-27, version 2.2.2* Make an easy mode because some of us are struggling I keep getting attacked by the chaos monster and killed all my thanes everything don't even waste your money. I want my money back now! It is the worst app ever whoever made this should give me my money back. You call this normal mode I call this extremely hard mode. I hope your customers curse you. ### 1/5 — Simply dreadful - avoid *2013-08-24, version 2.2.1* Tedious, repetitive. Makes Solitaire seem an action packed adventure.... ### 1/5 — Ew *2011-10-26, version 2.0.4* Doesnt worst 10$ ### 1/5 — Just Plain Awful *2011-10-22, version 2.0.3* Horrible game. Too much going on and very convoluted.. I want my $10 back. I played for about 20 minutes and shut it off. Avoid this expensive download unless you love long winded, text based games. ### 2/5 — BROKEN *2022-12-29* Good drawings and details. But when I started playing the game I was doing something and It kept going back to the same page!! **Developer response:** If you ran into a bug, can you send us more details (at bugz@a-sharp.com, or better, from inside the game, see https://a-sharp.com/kodp/bug.html)? There are places where you may try something and not succeed, and have to try something else. ### 2/5 — Addicting in an annoying way *2022-11-04* I tried to play this game several times and failed and kept trying. The process took time, but eventually I got everything that I needed to know. however, on my last try, I became prosperous. I built a new tribe, became as strong as I can be, and my enemies feared me. Even when they ganged up on me, it was hopeless. But somehow, the trolls destroyed my clan from the inside out. I had no idea what happened, and I wasn’t able to do a thing about it. The people wanted to disband my clan even when I tried my best to make things right again. This game is annoyingly difficult and too stressful for its own good. You get addicted to it for a couple of days only to find out that all you’ve done was wasting your time and end up losing. This is not even in hard mode either. Take my advice and don’t waste your time and money buying this game. ### 2/5 — Great game but now crashes *2015-09-28, version 2.3.1* Wonderful and addicting game but since I got the new iPhone 6s Plus it constantly crashes for different reasons. Makes the game unplayable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Immersive story telling experience at its best! *2025-07-26* Amazing game which has laid the foundation of an under appreciated series. Dont pass up the chance to begin your journey into this style of game/world of lore. An easy 5/5 that I often come back to. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-02-19, version 2.4* I laughed my butt off at the goofy names I made for my tribes ### 5/5 — Awesome classic perfect on iOS *2023-12-08* KoDP is a cult game among hardcore veterans of turn-based-strategy and role-playing games. Set in the well-established world of RuneQuest, you manage a clan on its quest for survival and, hopefully, glory. Epic battles, cool characters, powerful artefacts, vengeful monsters, creeping starvation, realpolitik diplomacy, roguelike iteration - this game has it all, elegantly woven together. And it’s just perfect on iOS. Big kudos to the devs for developing this gem and porting it to iOS. ### 5/5 — Still a great game *2023-01-22, version 2.4* And it has a lot of replay value. But I’m not sure what to do next! ### 5/5 — Mythology/History/World building fans *2022-04-17, version 2.4* I love these games. ### 5/5 — Best game in App Store *2021-10-14* Worth the money!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game. *2021-08-18, version 2.4* Hope soon this game update to the m1 Macs. ### 5/5 — My favorite iOS game *2021-03-28* More than any other game, I keep coming back to this one and playing it over and over. Six Ages (a sort of prequel in the same vein) is a great game, too, but something about the original holds my attention more. Great replayability, no button mashing, story-driven yet flexible, immersive with tons of great little flourishes and touches. You can effectively play as “hard core” as you want, but also can reset the game back to its automatic save point (once every year - or 10 turns) for any prior completed year in your clan’s history. This is also a great treatment of the Glorantha source material and a great entry point to that world or a “must have” for anyone who discovered the RPG(s) or other games first. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-05-14* The better of the 2 games I have played this many many times, I once annexed the whole of the dragon pass! That was such fun so many things that you can do. It’s amazing this exists in the same universe as me! Only one glitch has ever happened to me 10,000 weaponthanes where added to my army witch was very frustrating seen as everyone died of starvation... other than that well worth the price. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-06-19* I’m a huge strategy gamer, playing crusader kings 2 on my PC. This game is like the mobile version with its depth. It’s actually a port of the PC game. But oddly I liked the mobile version more than the PC one. That’s strange but nonetheless this game is a must have for any serious strategy gamer.
