As this little indie project stands it doesn’t feel fully fleshed out. It is, however, still an enjoyable game. More polished than earlier versions, The Great Whale Road provides fun turn based combat and a well-told story accompanied by pretty art and music, they just aren’t as well integrated with one another as they could be.

The Great Whale Road manages to balance its many moving parts just fine; it's just that one of those parts doesn't hold up its own weight very well. When it's about progressing the story, or keeping your village going, this game feels really good. Combat doesn't manage to hold itself up to that same standard, and fails to feel like anything other than an add-on.

Sunburned Games ha asentado las bases de una propuesta interesante a nivel mecánico y narrativo que, por desgracia, queda muy lejos de lo que debería ser. En el futuro veremos dos campañas más y esperamos que el estudio valenciano aprenda de los errores encontrados en este primer viaje y convierta los siguientes en algo menos tedioso y con todas las posibilidades que debiera.

The Great Whale Road pretende mejorar en poco tiempo con dos nuevas campañas -francos y frisones- que pretenden alargar varios enteros un título que ya es muy atractivo con su propuesta inicial. Si amáis la época, la temática y los videojuegos que combinan gestión y rol, creemos que es una buena opción.

Purtroppo di nei ce ne sono, tipici di quelle produzioni che, davanti a una buona idea, non riescono a svilupparla e approfondirla in tutte le sue sfaccettature, e così gli eventi casuali si ripetono ciclicamente e con frequenza, le missioni sono lineari e senza diramazioni e l’aspetto gestionale risulta una bozza poco sviluppata.
