    The Council might have stumbled its way across the finishing line in Checkmate, but that’s not enough to take the shine off of the title. Okay, its story descended into chaos when the daemon theme began to unravel and hindered the storytelling potential, but that should not be a reason to stop playing The Council.

    The best way to describe The Council would be to call it a curiosity. It’s plot is outlandishly stupid, and completely falls apart the longer it drags on. The off-putting visuals and inconsistent voice acting only make the whole series seem even stranger. However, the variations it makes to the adventure genre, namely the stat-building and leveling up mechanics, help it stand out from other similar efforts.
