"I discussed the original CODL quite a while ago on the podcast, but now that the re-released Enhanced Edition is available on Gamers Gate and Direct2Drive, it seems like a good time to provide a more formal review:"
Steven Tench: "Released in 2011, Chronicles of a Dark Lord Episode I: Tides of Fate is a game that I’d wanted to get my hands on for some time. The developers of the game, Kisareth Studios, are currently aiming to release it on Steam via Steam Greenlight, and after having played it, I would advise anyone with a Steam account to Greenlight it."
In this interview with three members of the studio (two do most of the talking), we learn about the CEO’s tumultuous history that led to her aspiration in game development, a former YouTuber who was asked to join the team after humorously criticizing the game, and how the entire Chornicles of a Dark Lord franchise was birthed from 20 years of role-playing on AOL.

Its solid story, great graphics, and wonderful music make it a must play for anyone that loves this style. I had a blast playing this title; it made me remember all the old RPGs from yesteryear and how much fun I had with those as well. Its quirky style and wonderful presentation make this one of the best RPGs I have played in a while. I very much look forward to seeing where this series will go down the line; they are off to a great start."
