7.0
Kyn is not a flawless game but is an interesting take on the topic of isometric RPGs. Worth taking a look at it.

Critic reviews
- My biggest gripe with Kyn outside of combat is that the game itself feels very shallow. I was never too invested in the world of Kyn or any of the characters in it. It’s a bit a slow burn and quests don’t become meaningful or interesting until after you’ve invested quite a bit of time and the party has grown. ...Kyn lacks the depth you would find in other RPGs of its kind, but the satisfying combat and and forgiving nature of it’s party customization is what will keep you interested.
- 6.6Even with all of its issues, Kyn is a decent RPG featuring an incredible soundtrack. The developers are still working on ironing out the remaining bugs, but this is definitely still worth picking up if you’re craving a new action-RPG during the remaining days of this summer lull.
- 6.0There's an engaging game within Kyn that could be more accessible with just some polish and fine-tuning. But at is stands, Kyn is an average RPG that entertains but will probably be forgotten by the holiday rush. Here's hoping Tangrin Entertainment's next game will surpass those limitations. Kyn is a solidly-crafted RPG with some fun and interesting set pieces, but isn't innovative enough to stand out among similar titles in the genre.
- 6.0As a story RPG, Kyn can’t weave a legend or create a world. As an action RPG, it doesn’t have a rewarding leveling or crafting system to help me make characters my own. All of the pieces are here, but Kyn held me at a distance, refusing to let me engage. The good parts of the game, like combat and party management, aren’t good enough to overlook the frequent scripting bugs and crashes during loading screens.
- 5.0Kyn is a nice distraction from other games, but don’t expect it to endlessly enthrall you like other RPGs would. However, the scope of the game is well beyond what you’d expect from the two-man team who coded, created, and designed it. The mission system allows you to easily hop on for an hour here and there, which helps to make the game worth experiencing at least once if you’re a diehard RPG fan. Just don’t go into it expecting the story to change your life.
