Hi!

So a few days ago, a friend of mine recommended me this game (just to be clear, I'm talking about the videogame) and it seemed really interesting. He kept talking about Wrath of the Righteous but as I looked it up later, I found out about Kingmaker.

I didn't really get any conclusive answer on whether I should play through the first one and then Wrath of the Righteous or not, so I'm guessing it doesn't really matter story-wise.

Nonetheless, since I didn't see anything regarding this game here on Lemmy, and in an effort to drive up some discussion and/or add to our small but growing knowledge base, I come to you with this question.

Also, do you like the games? And which one do you recommend to start with?

Thanks!

They are completely separate story-wise. Kingmaker's story is IMO a bit easier to follow at the beginning. WOTR is newer though and therefore has more character customization options. They both use the same engine and the gameplay is almost identical.

Oh ok, good to know, thanks! I don't mind harder to follow stories, and having more character customization options is always a good thing for me. I guess I'll go with WOTR.

One other thing worth mentioning: both games have a DLC which lets you play like an infinite roguelike dungeon crawl which is super fun. I probably have more hours in the respective roguelike DLCs for both than I do for either of their campaigns. I just love the idea of taking classic CRPG/D&D mechanics and giving it progression like Slay The Spire
