I unironically would love basically this exact game for every single region. Seeing the stories and how the champions' abilities would be animated or how their mechanics would work? Just...YES please
I'm not sure I would play the exact same game 9 times buddy. I personaly got fatigue toward the end and was impatient to get to the next boss fight while doing my 100% run. It's a great game but I wouldn't push bad idea for the sake of the creator like making 9 times the same thing.
@@Golden_A I mean I wasn't going for a 100%. I was just casually playing and enjoying myself. Not everyone goes for 100% and I feel like doing so can burn people out on a LOT of games, it's not unique to this one. And nothing is saying in future games that they wouldn't evolve the formula. I'm not saying I want this game, unchanged, unevolved. I'm saying this game could easily be the first in a series for me. Like how Final Fantasy was the first in ya know, the Final Fantasy series
@@0MidnighttheDragon0 I wish they could go for the void, I mean it's underated when it comes to lore but that's one of the point why they shouldn't start with it ;(
actually a point i like to add is that the enemy champions you fight feel like equals.... they even got ultimate abilitys with the same animations as you .... that is such a great attention to detail
@@aeroanosupremo The more Shurima's pantheon expands, we could definitely see Panth taking on more Ascended and Darkin in such a story line. I'd at least like to see Panth face of against Renekton.
He likes him by the end, they even travel to noxus together once the quest was done. But that’s saying something as pyke got closer quicker to broum then yasuo did. it was surprising how close pyke got to anyone. I will add a coviot to this though. Nobody truly liked Sarah and ahri was a right pain in the ass in the beginning.
yasuo dint hate braum... he hated how ...pushy he was hell even when brom gets K.O yasuo says : "the place will be quiet with out you" he actually likes the man and also when they first spoke off yasuo sayd :"you can stay ... if you sit quitly" he liked but yasuo is not the type of guy to express that
@@chainsawboy2388 by themselves no one will notice that it's the same boss as the one Necrit censored... It can be any boss for people who haven't played the game but if someone points it out there's a 80% chance they will go back to watch it even if they don't want spoilers... It's basic human instincts
Ruined King was so much fun. The best parts to me were definitely the music, conversations and character developments (those developing relationships were just chef's kiss). Totally agree with your review and I'm hoping to see more games like this in the future for sure!
it is also great for us darkest dungeon fans, its sequal came out but ruined king feels even better (on heroic) as a sequal than the actual darkest dungeons, So we turn based fanboys got something out from it too. I hope riot will continue.
so then play battle chasers :) i am downloading ruined king now since i saw its the same people that made them and they look alike... battle chasers was great... around 30 hours of gameplay

Honestly really enjoyed the game, the story was fun, combat was a dream and really rewarding to master, the thing that really held me back from super loving this game was the bugs, I played on PC last week and unfortunately had a few bugs ranging from the disappointing (Miss fortunes third ult not loading properly leading to a ghost ship and no damage numbers half the time) to the game-breaking (I didn't get to see the end cutscene because it just would not progress past Yasuos first line in the bar) hope they get it fixed because the game is good and worth the money. as long as it works
I got the ruined king for christmas, I now have 40 hours spent on it, and the soundtrack is 10/10, especially thresh's theme slapped as I slapped him. I too have encountered interesting bugs, such as replicating side quests or even getting stuck inside stairs. But the best part of this entire game, was using Illaoi's first ult, or as I like to call it, the "Yeet & Delete".
Justa a thoght, imagine a game like Cultist Simulator, where you have to develop or discover a comspiracy, but in Noxus. You could try to join the Black Rose, get haunted by a demon or even try to murder a noble woman who is the wife of a blood mage that is your lover so you two could run away and you can finally tric him to use his powers to revive your real true lover and together you could march on your nemesis. Anyway, just a thoght..
I love how you blur out the boss and then proceed to show it fully later on xD great review though! I love this game and im recommending it to friends, I really hope they do this with other regions/stories/etc
If Riot is planning more games with a different style i'd love a game like Uncharted with Ezreal as a main character, mainly because Ezreal lore is practically writen by Ezreal. His character doesn't make much sense right now. Yes, he's a kid looking for fame in order to find his parents, but he's also an upper class piltovian breaking in cursed tombs. How much about him is talent, arrogance or luck? Is he really just a jerk? He coould be such an interesting character along with Ryze since both have traveled so much...
@@berryman5145 Probably a game like Diablo cause any 3D would need a lot of budget. I am waiting for arcane to flesh out most of LoL locations and game devs would have an easier time.
i played on the switch version. Unfortunatly had some bugs and crashes. Also the map loading took very long. But overal a masterpiece of a game. I hope you will make some videos about the lore and some journals.
Love your review!!! i love how you bring all these points up and explain small details for us to show the more in depth opinion of the game!!! PLEASE do a review/gameplay with spoilers so i can see your thoughts on the game and talk about all the lore so that if you dont have the time to go through the whole game we can still enjoy it?!!
I am about 80% through now and I've been really enjoying it. The Fight interface gets a little tedious (on PC) and the game is not that hard If you have played turn-based games before (also Braum is utterly broken and trivializes most fights), but Overall both gameplay and Story and especially the Champions are really great
Played on hard mode, was hard if i picked random champs. But I just lined up Braum Stamina Perma Taunting and Illaoi Heal Plus the Damage Dealer they force you to pick in your team, it was very easy
Airship syndicate leader and founder is Joe Madureira which is a renown comic book writer , he loves rpgs and this isn't their first game , this alone can explain why the writhing and story are so good in Ruined King game.
I usually like turned based combat, especially in games like divinity or xcom. The problem I have with ruined king is the lane system, I dislike waiting for abilities to be cast, for me it makes combat feel more clunky. I also HATE that you can only use 3 characters at the same time. I feel like most of the time I need to have a tank, a healer and a dps, which is braum + illaoi + X if I remember correctly. Also I love league characters and love having a big party in these types of games. This is all subjective ofc, it's not a bad game, but for these reasons I just stopped playing soon after finding Ahri.
u need braum illaoi or ahri (one of these) on higher difficulties but the lane system was fine to me and i come from same background as you. It just takes some paying attention and getting used to
Depends really. Illaoi is healer tank, so you can go with just her and have two dps. If you ditch Illaoi, you are gonna have to pick up Braum and either Illaoi (even though you wanted to get rid of her) or Ahri and then a dps. otherwise, you are gonna have a hard time keeping up with the damage you take. If you're a madman, you can go 2 dps and Ahri, and if you want to actually die, 3dps, balls to the walls.
The music of this game... Just mindblowing!! My favourite song it's The Haunted Clario Mansion. I'm a sucker for strings and this theme nails the melancholic feeling of the environment.
I would love to see airship syndicate take a shot at a sentinels of light game/series of games, making something officially cannon for it on this level of story telling and character development
Finally a great and enthusiastic review of the game! I was kind of confused that some people gave it a bad review because I enjoyed it way more than I expected. I thought the turn based part wouldn't really be something for me and I would just buy it because I like LoL and I wanted to play a LoL story. Turned out that I love both! Can't wait for the story video about the game
I don't agree that Yasuo doesn't like Braum. At first, for sure, but during the game his attitude towards him warms up. I would say that this is the case of Shrek and Donkey, yes the Donkey irritates the ogre, but in the end this one would jump for the fire after him
I love the game. The story, the characters, the music, the lore are amazing. The only problem I have with the game is that it is to easy for me, even on the hardest difficulty.
the review is actually perfect you spoke about everything that I wanted hear information about ur really good at this maybe you should review games more often
Yep, the audio was outstanding. After i finished the game i began whistling some songs and I was like: what the hell do i even whistle? Well, it was the battle music from the Ruined King xd amazing
will you make a separate video discussing the lore reveals in the ruined king ? and how could they probably connect the ruined king game and the sentinels of light ? there is a huge lore gap between them, like how would the ruined king - spoiler noises -
For me, I really want a game in demacia. I want a story progression on the mage rebellion, what happened to Lux between her comics and the Warriors Cinematic, and what happens after she revealed herself to be a mage. Maybe add the Noxus and Demacian conflict post Garen Novel. I want to see garen and katarina finally met in canon! So yeah, I'd like to see more of demacia.
My only critic to ruined king, beside the lore tangle that SoL brought us, is the fact that we dont have the option to refight certain bosses. They should include that upon completetion that you could fight well certain bosses (not naming any) just for the fun of it or with the progress you had in that time without saving before every bossfight on a own data slot
I dont like turned based RPGs so I had many doubts on whether this game is worth for me but I bought it otherwise. At the start the gameplay bore me but the story and the immersiveness of the game kept me playing. Then after a few combat encounters it grew on me and I got the hang of it. I now like the combat especially the animations during those encounters. Ruined King is my first turned based RPG and I cant wait for more League stories to be incorporated in this type of genre.
It truly was the first League of Legends game to make me not want to kill myself. The worldbuilding of Runeterra is by far the most interesting aspect of the IP so I'm glad that Riot finally made an RPG. Hopefully that MMO gives us more of this.
2nd try to convince myself. It was actually work for me this time, trying different play style is fun and hilarious at sometimes. I never been interested to braum in league but in this game he's a chad. Also this is my first turned based games btw.
Ahri AOE vampiric nuke was probably my favorite playstyle I've created. It makes her heal her entire healthbar when she last hits, building her with Braum who I've built for massive shields makes her extremely broken.
I come from party rpg/turn based rpg background on top of obviously moba but i don't play LoL any more cus the game is flawed, however i played this game with excitement and liked it as it is in my ballpark and im already familiar with the universe and Ahri is a top tier waifu. The game is easy if you're good at party building tho. I didn't mind the lane system, it was new/fresh and it had positives
I beat the game on veteran difficulty and I think it’s a good game indeed. It’s fun to build yourself the best party to destroy your opponents. Illaoi is a jack-of-all-trade in your party. She can do decent damage, heal and cleanse the party, and taunt your enemies. Braum is the big man with the hands. He shields your team, taunts the little ones, applies stun so your team have the advantage. Yasuo is a full-on damage dealer. Focus on getting him crits stat and watch him absolutely decimate mobs and bosses alike. Aside from doing damage, Miss Fortune can buff your team and herself by helping them get their turns more often. Pyke plagues your enemies with tons of debuffs. Like, so many debuffs you almost feel bad for the enemies interrupting your adventure. Ahri is the premier healer and magic damage dealer. Many enemies have heavy damage attacks but Ahri can effectively heal your party to full health in a few turns, no more fear of running out of potions! The scenery is beautiful, the game portrays a good image of the bad Bilgewater. Lore can be collected everywhere. A worthwhile game to pick up and play. Minor end-game spoilers about Braum and Yasuo though: - Yasuo actually want to accompany Braum back to Frejord, personally get on the boat to make sure he goes back. Yasuo may not like Braum booming personality but he definitely respects him as a warrior.
If Illaoi doesn't fall in love for Braum, I don't know what makes sense anymore. And before anyone tries to argue with me, just remember that Braum wishes to be a Poro Sheppard, which is basically working for the TRUE alpha species of Runeterra. If that isn't being worty for you, I don't know what it is...
Kinda wish this game were released before or at least during the SoL event, which would definitely make a lot of us feel less disappointed by the event.
So about Pyke customizations...I learned real quick, his debuff and stealth/crit build can easily be combined for easy single target damage in all situations
Honestly this game made me want to play it over and over again. Even if it's so buggy and there's a chance you can't go back at your saves (or forgot to save HAHAHA) TORTURE IS REAL!
This game is really good. Couple of my biggest issues are some things that felt like an afterthought or missing from the game. Not to mention the numerous amounts of bugs.
Great video and review! I agree with everything what you said. Despite the bugs I still very enjoyed this game. The game did an amazing job, I was so immersed on the lore and the world of Runeterra! Can't explain how excited I am for the other games, kudos for Riot Forge and Airship Syndicate for making this wonderful game.
the fun part about the lane system is, if ur not interested in getting ur hands dirty and being invested in the challenge of the game itself, you can pretty much breeze through it pretty easily, especially later on (and after doing pretty much all the side quests) since, with the proper set up ur pretty much untouchable, at least in the normal difficulty, unless ive subconsciously been adapting all my moves which may also be the case, but i didn't actl utilize the inspect mode as much as i thought i would but all of that can probably be fixed if you set a harder difficulty, but personally i want to see where the story goes most of all, as well as experimenting champion combinations and builds *cough crit braum cough* edit: i clearly spoke too soon
my favorite way of dealing with the bunch of encounters is to lure a bunch in the same room together so they can link up and we can just have a nice long fight, so i can roam around to loot freely, the bonus is the overload carries over after each round, so i can cast a bunch more times, this also cuts the time since there arent any in between scenes
Opening inventory to see 30 different selections of hundreds of potions... Me : (Holy heck, these are going to really come in handy for sure - might as well know what each of them do) Completed the game on normal difficulty... used a total of 4 revival potions for the whole game - sidequests included. Me : (Oh hey there, what are you's supposed to do again?)
Even though I didn't finish the game, I can still tell you all just how good and immersive it was. It felt like just the thing for a fan of the League of Legends lore as if you were truly apart of it without actually being there yourself. The gripes I had with the game was a simple bug, which is no longer present, and Riot Forge pushing the lore a little too hard for some characters. With a lot of games I really like character development and progression, but I don't like the presence of relationships in a game where it is not the main focus. It can be somewhat intrusive and when it comes to these sorts of games, I really prefer the developers to stay true to a state of neutrality like; maybe and maybe not. When it came to developing a "specific" relationship I won't spoil, i really did not like its presence because it somewhat violated what I just said. What's worse is that it felt too some degree like a minor violation against one specific person's lore and character. I know Riot has retconned lore in the past, but to do so with a certain character in particular I would not be a fan of. The main problem here is that a part of this story can feel like it's isolating true dedicated fans of a specific character. It's not nearly as bad as what Sentinels of Light did with how they REALLY violated who a character was or how they behaved, but it's there.
i really want to play riots moba after playing ruined king cause the story is soo well made and i hope we can get more storys from shurima ixthal and from the void

u need braum illaoi or ahri (one of these) on higher difficulties but the lane system was fine to me and i come from same background as you. It just takes some paying attention and getting used to
Depends really. Illaoi is healer tank, so you can go with just her and have two dps.
If you ditch Illaoi, you are gonna have to pick up Braum and either Illaoi (even though you wanted to get rid of her) or Ahri and then a dps. otherwise, you are gonna have a hard time keeping up with the damage you take.
If you're a madman, you can go 2 dps and Ahri, and if you want to actually die, 3dps, balls to the walls.
The music of this game... Just mindblowing!! My favourite song it's The Haunted Clario Mansion. I'm a sucker for strings and this theme nails the melancholic feeling of the environment.
My favourite part is when the stories referenced legends of runeterra cards like rhasa and the ghost who plays piano to impress his mom
The scenery really is perfect you can literally stop anywhere take a screenshot and your wallpaper is done
I would love to see airship syndicate take a shot at a sentinels of light game/series of games, making something officially cannon for it on this level of story telling and character development
Finally a great and enthusiastic review of the game! I was kind of confused that some people gave it a bad review because I enjoyed it way more than I expected. I thought the turn based part wouldn't really be something for me and I would just buy it because I like LoL and I wanted to play a LoL story. Turned out that I love both!
Can't wait for the story video about the game
I never knew gangplank was such a daddy when I check this game out
I don't agree that Yasuo doesn't like Braum. At first, for sure, but during the game his attitude towards him warms up. I would say that this is the case of Shrek and Donkey, yes the Donkey irritates the ogre, but in the end this one would jump for the fire after him
Anyone who could hate Braum at any point is trash!
I love the game. The story, the characters, the music, the lore are amazing. The only problem I have with the game is that it is to easy for me, even on the hardest difficulty.
the review is actually perfect you spoke about everything that I wanted hear information about ur really good at this maybe you should review games more often
Yep, the audio was outstanding. After i finished the game i began whistling some songs and I was like: what the hell do i even whistle? Well, it was the battle music from the Ruined King xd amazing
will you make a separate video discussing the lore reveals in the ruined king ?
and how could they probably connect the ruined king game and the sentinels of light ?
there is a huge lore gap between them, like how would the ruined king - spoiler noises -
He said that he will make a video in the future regarding the story at the end around min 22
The only thing I can fault this game for is making me want to play Pyke in normal League the way you can in Ruined King
Braum is soo wholesome with everybody interaction 😍😍😍
I love how at 5:03 he blurs the boss to avoid spoilers, but then shows it at 12:38 for an Illaoi slam
Can’t wait for a possible story review??
This game is so good. Im waiting for another sequel or maybe some DLC
The way he holds the flintlock 😂 love the videos necrit 👍
For me, I really want a game in demacia. I want a story progression on the mage rebellion, what happened to Lux between her comics and the Warriors Cinematic, and what happens after she revealed herself to be a mage.
Maybe add the Noxus and Demacian conflict post Garen Novel. I want to see garen and katarina finally met in canon! So yeah, I'd like to see more of demacia.
My only critic to ruined king, beside the lore tangle that SoL brought us, is the fact that we dont have the option to refight certain bosses.
They should include that upon completetion that you could fight well certain bosses (not naming any) just for the fun of it or with the progress you had in that time without saving before every bossfight on a own data slot
I dont like turned based RPGs so I had many doubts on whether this game is worth for me but I bought it otherwise. At the start the gameplay bore me but the story and the immersiveness of the game kept me playing. Then after a few combat encounters it grew on me and I got the hang of it. I now like the combat especially the animations during those encounters. Ruined King is my first turned based RPG and I cant wait for more League stories to be incorporated in this type of genre.
It truly was the first League of Legends game to make me not want to kill myself. The worldbuilding of Runeterra is by far the most interesting aspect of the IP so I'm glad that Riot finally made an RPG. Hopefully that MMO gives us more of this.
2nd try to convince myself. It was actually work for me this time, trying different play style is fun and hilarious at sometimes. I never been interested to braum in league but in this game he's a chad. Also this is my first turned based games btw.
Ahri AOE vampiric nuke was probably my favorite playstyle I've created. It makes her heal her entire healthbar when she last hits, building her with Braum who I've built for massive shields makes her extremely broken.
Ahri/Braum/Yasuo was my team of choice at the last couple of passages. Combo that had everything
@@arturoflash Yasuo pushing forward ally units also feels super good when using this build
I come from party rpg/turn based rpg background on top of obviously moba but i don't play LoL any more cus the game is flawed, however i played this game with excitement and liked it as it is in my ballpark and im already familiar with the universe and Ahri is a top tier waifu. The game is easy if you're good at party building tho.
I didn't mind the lane system, it was new/fresh and it had positives
I beat the game on veteran difficulty and I think it’s a good game indeed.
It’s fun to build yourself the best party to destroy your opponents.
Illaoi is a jack-of-all-trade in your party. She can do decent damage, heal and cleanse the party, and taunt your enemies.
Braum is the big man with the hands. He shields your team, taunts the little ones, applies stun so your team have the advantage.
Yasuo is a full-on damage dealer. Focus on getting him crits stat and watch him absolutely decimate mobs and bosses alike.
Aside from doing damage, Miss Fortune can buff your team and herself by helping them get their turns more often.
Pyke plagues your enemies with tons of debuffs. Like, so many debuffs you almost feel bad for the enemies interrupting your adventure.
Ahri is the premier healer and magic damage dealer. Many enemies have heavy damage attacks but Ahri can effectively heal your party to full health in a few turns, no more fear of running out of potions!
The scenery is beautiful, the game portrays a good image of the bad Bilgewater. Lore can be collected everywhere.
A worthwhile game to pick up and play.
Minor end-game spoilers about Braum and Yasuo though:
- Yasuo actually want to accompany Braum back to Frejord, personally get on the boat to make sure he goes back. Yasuo may not like Braum booming personality but he definitely respects him as a warrior.
Okay, Fishing got me interested.
The art especially reminds me of Dredge
I just watched this after finishing the game. I agree, its amazing. A little bitter sweet after the riot forge news. RIP
If Illaoi doesn't fall in love for Braum, I don't know what makes sense anymore. And before anyone tries to argue with me, just remember that Braum wishes to be a Poro Sheppard, which is basically working for the TRUE alpha species of Runeterra. If that isn't being worty for you, I don't know what it is...
Kinda wish this game were released before or at least during the SoL event, which would definitely make a lot of us feel less disappointed by the event.
I was never gonna play this game but after this review I am now going to check it out. Thanks!
After hearing that the music is composed by Gareth Coker I guess I just have to play the game now... I'm sold
FINALLY I CAN HEAR NECRIT’S OPINION ON A GAME I ALREADY KNOW I LOVE JUST FOR VALIDATION
Necrit Blurring out the Tentacle Boss is perfect LOOOL
the gameplay is just like champions of chaos, an old flash game, which is why i love this game
So about Pyke customizations...I learned real quick, his debuff and stealth/crit build can easily be combined for easy single target damage in all situations
Honestly this game made me want to play it over and over again. Even if it's so buggy and there's a chance you can't go back at your saves (or forgot to save HAHAHA) TORTURE IS REAL!
*There are adult jokes in this game*
Me noticing that Illaoi is in the game.
Me: *Uuuuhhh.......what kind of adult jokes?*
“You break too easily”
At least it ain't Vel Koz or Evelyn
OOOOH telling the story of zed, shen, and kusho chasing down jhin in an rpg sounds amazing.
I see Necrit is a man of culture. No RPG is complete without a good fishing minigame.
Why exactly?🤔
I just finished this game and absolutely loved it, gameplay was fun and lore was just great
It carried the story harder than the sentinel events in ALL THREE GAMES it was featured in could have ever hoped to do and dream to achieve.
I played the game and read a lot, A LOT! But I am sure I missed some details, and it would be awesome to see your review with spoilers!
I would like to see Necrit post the gameplay on the channel
This game is really good. Couple of my biggest issues are some things that felt like an afterthought or missing from the game. Not to mention the numerous amounts of bugs.
Got it over Christmas. I really enjoy it
Quick disclaimer about Manamune, it was a preorder bonus, but now is a 2$/€ add-on.
Great video and review! I agree with everything what you said. Despite the bugs I still very enjoyed this game. The game did an amazing job, I was so immersed on the lore and the world of Runeterra! Can't explain how excited I am for the other games, kudos for Riot Forge and Airship Syndicate for making this wonderful game.
“Yasuo doesn’t like braum” at the beginning he comes around to it by the end.
the fun part about the lane system is, if ur not interested in getting ur hands dirty and being invested in the challenge of the game itself, you can pretty much breeze through it pretty easily, especially later on (and after doing pretty much all the side quests) since, with the proper set up ur pretty much untouchable, at least in the normal difficulty, unless ive subconsciously been adapting all my moves which may also be the case, but i didn't actl utilize the inspect mode as much as i thought i would
but all of that can probably be fixed if you set a harder difficulty, but personally i want to see where the story goes most of all, as well as experimenting champion combinations and builds *cough crit braum cough*
edit: i clearly spoke too soon
my favorite way of dealing with the bunch of encounters is to lure a bunch in the same room together so they can link up and we can just have a nice long fight, so i can roam around to loot freely, the bonus is the overload carries over after each round, so i can cast a bunch more times, this also cuts the time since there arent any in between scenes
bro 2 specific champions can solo viego .. and i mean it let the entire team die and go hand to hand with the ruined king ON heroic
Can’t wait to play it
I really enjoyed this game. It is definitely a must play in my opinion for league fans.
they gave Pyke an actual character and personality and it felt natural and I am here for it and my psychotic baby boy
NECRIT NO! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!
I wish this game get a spinoff with different characters from Runeterra
Opening inventory to see 30 different selections of hundreds of potions...
Me : (Holy heck, these are going to really come in handy for sure - might as well know what each of them do)
Completed the game on normal difficulty... used a total of 4 revival potions for the whole game - sidequests included.
Me : (Oh hey there, what are you's supposed to do again?)
Necrit: There will be no spoilers.
Necrit 15 minutes later: Yes there is no Karthus, there is no Yorick.
Even though I didn't finish the game, I can still tell you all just how good and immersive it was. It felt like just the thing for a fan of the League of Legends lore as if you were truly apart of it without actually being there yourself. The gripes I had with the game was a simple bug, which is no longer present, and Riot Forge pushing the lore a little too hard for some characters. With a lot of games I really like character development and progression, but I don't like the presence of relationships in a game where it is not the main focus. It can be somewhat intrusive and when it comes to these sorts of games, I really prefer the developers to stay true to a state of neutrality like; maybe and maybe not. When it came to developing a "specific" relationship I won't spoil, i really did not like its presence because it somewhat violated what I just said. What's worse is that it felt too some degree like a minor violation against one specific person's lore and character. I know Riot has retconned lore in the past, but to do so with a certain character in particular I would not be a fan of. The main problem here is that a part of this story can feel like it's isolating true dedicated fans of a specific character. It's not nearly as bad as what Sentinels of Light did with how they REALLY violated who a character was or how they behaved, but it's there.
This game is x10000 more better than sol event, is sounds more canon.
I would say personally this game has quickly topped most of my favorite games. I love this game so much
i really want to play riots moba after playing ruined king cause the story is soo well made and i hope we can get more storys from shurima ixthal and from the void
