It’s difficult for me to say this, especially with so many positive elements in the game, but I found Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit to be mediocre. It doesn’t do anything inherently wrong, but there is nothing very memorable about it either. My lasting impression is that the game played it too safe and colored too neatly inside the lines. Clearly, a lot of love, effort, and resources went into creating this game.
Neal Chandran · Jul 12, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewCrowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is an amazing puzzle adventure game that will be loved by fans of this genre! It has everything you’d like to find in a game like this: challenging puzzles, a great adventure, funny and likable characters, and an amazing art style. If you’re a fan of point & click adventures, be sure to give this one a try.
Anmaja · Jun 02, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewCrowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is an excellent game with an engrossing story brought to life by well-executed graphics, music, interface, and voice acting.
Erik Parkin · May 21, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewAn intriguing tale of adventure that does not necessarily reinvent the wheel, Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit pays homage to its predecessors while creating a modern experience that should appeal to fans, young or old.
Jake Su · May 11, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThis love letter to Broken Sword and Gabriel Knight-style point-and-click adventures looks great, explores a part of world history that has rarely been touched, and offers plenty of great puzzle-solving that will make you feel like a modern Indiana Jones (or Robert Langdon). At its worse it fails to immerse players into its world, or seems keen on annoying players through puzzles that will test one's patience.
Athanasios · May 21, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewWhilst the game was a little on the short side (although this is fairly typical of point-and-click games), and seemed to rush the ending — in particular, the final encounter which teases one last great puzzle, before all of it is swept under the rug as the ending cinematic plays — I genuinely hope it sells well enough that we get a sequel, and urge any fans of the genre to pick this one up!
Mike "MickSave" Crewe · May 10, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewCrowns and Pawns es un magnífica aventura gráfica que nos ha conquistado. No se avergüenza ni esconde la enorme influencia que ejerce sobre ella la saga Broken Sword, para ofrecer un título de corte similar con varias reminiscencias a aquella, y que sale triunfante por su atractiva historia, competentes personajes y en general buen desarrollo y puzles, con algunos pequeños peros en estos apartados.
Yago Lago · Jun 16, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewUn’avventura grafica vecchio stile discreta, con tanto potenziale inespresso. La storia è interessante, anche in virtù dei luoghi visitati e dei loro trascorsi, ma sembra finire sul più bello; i personaggi sono interessanti e il doppiaggio di prim’ordine, ma la direzione appare a tratti fiacca. Buona gran parte degli enigmi; qualche volo pindarico di troppo in un paio di occasioni. Consigliato se amate il genere.
Jacopo Retrosi · Sep 25, 2023 Reviewed on PC, SwitchRead full reviewCrowns and Pawns Kingdom of Deceit è un'ottima avventura grafica. Ha un'impostazione così classica che fa quasi tenerezza, ma mostra con fierezza la sua natura. Non dura moltissimo, ma tocca le corde giuste ed è anche rigiocabile. Considerando il prezzo, non ci si può proprio lamentare. Certo, il finale poteva essere meno affrettato, ma si può tranquillamente chiudere un occhio, soprattutto se è un bel po' che ci si addentra in un titolo simile.
Simone Tagliaferri · Jul 10, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewJediným kladným parametrom Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit je nemilý fakt, že vlastne nemá žiadnu konkurenciu. Nepotrebujeme hneď obrodu známych značiek, no sústo, ktoré si vývojári vzali do úst, nedokážu poriadne požuť. Menší projekt sa teší kladným hodnoteniam, pričom v mnohom im treba dať za pravdu: nie je to žiadny prepadák. Zároveň však nemáme tú česť s dielom, na ktoré budeme spomínať. Ak si na túto adventúru vôbec niekto spomenie. Škoda, tešili sme sa aspoň na ďalšie Secret Files či Lost Horizon, avšak napriek proklamovanému pokračovaniu bude potrebné Milde vdýchnuť do tela život.
