    Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is an adventure that pushes all the right buttons for fans of the genre. It features a beautiful story, well-written dialogues, enough interesting Lithuanian history and the necessary mystery to keep the player's curiosity high until the credits roll. Even with its slightly disappointing ending, this is a game you ought to add to your collection.

    Spending about six to eight hours in this version of Lithuania is most certainly a trip worth having, even if it is clear that Tag of Joy is setting things up for a sequel. While the narrative rushes through the endgame in a somewhat haphazard fashion, it does not necessarily undo the great work that has paved the way forward to its conclusion. An intriguing tale of adventure that does not necessarily reinvent the wheel, Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit pays homage to its predecessors while creating a modern experience that should appeal to fans, young or old.

    Crowns and Pawns Kingdom of Deceit is a great graphic adventure. It has such a classic setting that it is almost tender, but proudly shows its nature.

    The smaller project mostly gets positive reviews, and in many respects they have to be right: it's not a flop. But at the same time, we don't have the honor of having an adventure that we will remember.

    A very well polished eye candy. A very solid classic point-and-click. Loving the art, the blend between 2d and 3d and the expressive characters!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though I haven't played many point and click games, I really enjoyed this challenging, Lithuanian history-inspired adventure.

    Also, 10/10, would take coins from Dana again.    … Expand

    A great modern look at the point-and-click adventure genre that leaves a taste of a wicked blend of Broken Sword, the Da Vinci Code, and Uncharted.
