CatQuartetGamer Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I can't wait for mine to arrive. I got my first Jaguar less than a month ago and this will be my second game. It looks awesome from what I've seen posted so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be all caught up after the weekend and have enough to meet demand going forward. This is fantastic news! I pre-ordered a copy back in early November just in time for the second run in December. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Did anyone here receive their game from the recent pre-order yet? Mine was shipped, so I am waiting patiently for it to arrive. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered something from an eBay seller in China back in October and it took seven weeks to arrive! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! Seven weeks is an incredibly long time to wait for a package. Well… luckily I’m patient. It arrives when it arrives. The wait will just make the experience more exciting. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottlinux Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Hey my copy arrived (I'm in the US) and this game is fantastic. Amazing job all around and I can't put it down. Thank you so much, 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So I’ve completed the level one map a few times now but buggered if I can find the thing you are meant to find. Anyone got any pointers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any pointers? Keep going up the levels! I think level 3/4 is where you'd find the first key, they are in set levels and you have a random chance of them spawning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yeah, you don't have to explore every room and you definitely don't need (or usually want) to fight every enemy. Look for the yellow star and delve deeper! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynxEffect Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 A bit late the party, but I ordered my copy this morning from Songbird Productions. There's something about new games for old consoles that I like - and I haven't played a game like this for a long time, so I'm sure it'll be an enjoyable play through. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Thanks for your support! I think you will enjoy it. Having the extra element of collecting crowns via multiple playthroughs helps give the game a larger goal in addition to "how deep can you explore." I definitely enjoy playing it even though I'm not very good at reaching the deepest levels! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I still fire up Kings of Edom every now and then. I've only found three crowns IIRC, but I've got the mechanics down well enough that I have some understanding of what I'm doing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I've put more time into KOE than any other Atari Jag game for many years. I really enjoy it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Received KoE yesterday. So far have 7 out of 11 crowns. I was doing well, but then got greedy with an Ice Bat usually they are super wimpy. Fun game. I wished the game had save. Anyone set the skills to anything other than default? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Now 8 of 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Nice! That's much faster progress than I made in this game. At least you get to inherit gold each time you start a new game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Was trying to get the last 3 crowns for the past few times I've played and accidentally died due to not paying attention for a second, deaths were a little cheap. Auto health, where game automatically uses your red health jars if you have them vs dying. This game really should have saves as it takes hours to level up and once gold is used its gone. Other improvements would be more weapon types and more monsters types. Also the map needs to load faster. The basics are there, and its still fun, but could be so much more. The movement when monster is in same room is a bit too jerky. I know what is trying to be done, intentional movement or non-intentional, but the delay is too long and makes game feel laggy. Even with its faults its still in my top 5 Jag games as it has a certain charm to it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is portraying turn-based combat with the speed of each turn fast enough to resemble real-time combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, player and monsters are moving on a grid turn based. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Now 9 of 11 crowns. For the last two crowns I don't remember seeing the crown notice when entering the level, does that sound right? I ended up seeing a single screen ending after going past level 12. Now I need to increase gold funds. I was thinking of other ways to improve this type of game if a sequel is made. Allow hero to sell extra weapons/items at the store. Before going past level 12, let player know this will end the game and they are still missing 2 crowns. Its seems a little bit meaningless to fight bad guys on the various levels, this should mean more in HP, magic spell or attack. Since the laggy movement is for grid turn based, then have an option where the time allocated for the grid turn based pause can be turned off/adjusted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
