A turn-based strategy game that feels like a lighthearted, witty chess match with humorous dialogue and relaxed pacing.

What players say
Players call Highborn a short, simple turn-based strategy game with a goofy sense of humor that pokes fun at itself. The campaign runs about 8 levels, with more in DLC, and normal difficulty feels too easy. Opinions split on the comedy: some find it charming, others say it tries too hard. A few report the controller setup is broken, making the game unplayable for them.
