Ku: Shroud of the Morrigan

This game looks like it is a blast, seems like an Irish Bastion right? It turns out to be a terrible port and not worth a 5 dollar price. Pros: -Intriging story -New setting -Great art style -Intresting concept Cons: -Terrible textures, texutes don't all match, some have darker outlines and some don't, no shadows, everything looks flat -Poor sound effects, I had to turn down the footsteps, they are not smooth and the chain hit sound blasts louder than the others -Horrible controls, says full controller support but I had issues with the controller sticking and the buttons it says to press dont work (example it said to push "a" but the actually button was the trigger) also it wanted me to middle click which is not intuitive at all -Dialouge boxes don't work well, I had problems navigating through the lines and when they closed they would flash for a frame or two -Dialouge is written like a tumblr fan fic, early on the dialouge said " *Ku walks forward and raises his had* " which brings...

I totally enjoyed this game, it plays really well. You can control the boy with a mouse as I did or you can use a controller if you'd prefer, either way it plays well, but I prefer a mouse and keyboard with this game. This Adventure game is fairly short which I like, as it does not drag on like other games can. KU is quite easy to play there are not alot of enemys coming at you, so if you dont like difficult games then this is a good game for you. The handdrawn artwork is very nice and unique. Also there are some fighting Arenas that open up at the end, so you can test your skills out there. My advise would be look at some youtube videos of the game, as thats what helped me make my choice to buy this game and see what you think of it. I have no regrets buying this game, I feel it was worth it, although quite short .... To the DEVELOPERS, this is a very nice game in my opinion, It does play really well now. I hope there are more chapters coming to this nice game, as I'd like to see mor...

The visual design is typically nice, unique and artistic. However every other aspect of this game... from sound design to npc interaction to core gameplay is unremarkable and leans toward being annoying. Your money can be better spent elsewhere.

Ku:SOTM is a point and click action and puzzle game in which you control Ku, a 12 year old troublesome boy who is sent on a quest to retrieve a ring of power to keep your village sustained with energy. Filled with puzzles, combat and set in a unique world it's surely a winning recipe, right? When you first emerge from the tunnels you are greeted with a colourful, friendly village full of interactive characters (make sure you speak to them all and you will be rewarded with an achievement). Speaking to them provides you with information about the main protagonist Ku who is an unruly youth constantly getting himself into trouble. Your first mission is to head out to find the leader of the village. Once you speak with him about the ring that went missing, he explains that it is the main energy source for the village and without it they are doomed. That is where your quest begins, you are ordered to head into the wilderness and hunt down a replacement ring from the North. As you travel th...

Graphical style and quality are very good. sadly can't say much more as the control system is horrid. 360 game pad sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Though not a £30 AAA title i still expect games to atleast be polished enough to work as advertised. Sorry can't reccomend at the moment. save your money until it's either patched and fixed or buy a different title.

I really liked this game. Yeah it is short, but it is interesting and different. The idea is very itresting and sad showing a deep and pleasurable experience that shows in some ways the plight of the Irish and celts in general. Can't wait for part 2 and considering this game is 5 dollars why haven't you bought it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZnDTsapgfY My video impressions of the game. Ku has an attractive graphic style. It features isometric action adventuring, comparable to Bastion in it's concept. Though the game shows a lot of promise and potential, it's hindered by a pile of bugs, and a general sense of unpolishness. In the video I posted, I talk about the game's mechanics, it's aesthetics, as well as some of the bugs and inconsistencies.

I purchased this game as it mentioned it was available in Irish language (Gaelige). It isn't often one finds a video game available in this langauge and as a language learner, it can be helpful to immerse yourself in the language. This includes taking advantage of entertainment in the language you are learning. The language use is great. The game play is straight forward and am looking forward to playing more of this game.While I can understand some of the concerns reagrading the audio track, I would still recommend giving this a shot.

Before you read the review be warned that I will be grading this on an "Indie curve" meaning less than 5 developers Sound 5/10 The sound is position based and is confusing as to the point of origin of the sound most of the time, not to mention the sounds are comparitive to sound samples from a bad EDM song. Battle system 6/10 Lacks any real depth, and most of the battle system is learning how to bug the enemies out so they can't hit you. Also your primary "slash" attack has the awesome ability to get you stuck in walls and in other places you don't belong and can't escape. Bosses 2/10 The bosses of this game are all incredibly easy and short lived, and feel like normal enemies, except the final boss which felt more like the first real boss in the game, but still exceptionally easy. One of my major complaints is you don't heal your health after a boss though. Artwork 9/10 The art is gorgeous and was my primary attraction to the game, however it is hindered by bad coding to fit...

In this game, developed by bitSmith Games out of Dublin, you will be playing the part of Ku a very undersized individual of a village that is in serious trouble. It turns out that someone has made off with the power ring that helped power the village, and now without it the village is in grave danger. You decide that you are the only one that can do the job so you are sent on an adventure to the outside world, a place that no one really knows about, and is said to be full of danger. Graphically the game looks like it was hand drawn by a very skilled artist. Unfortunately some of the effect of the art is ruined by the fact that the background layering on the screen mixed with your character's position is a bit all over the place. What I mean by that is that there are times where your character might accidentally lose his head, graphically, because of something that is supposedly behind the character but is being rendered in a layer in front of him. Overall, though, the enemies, other c...
