Kingdom: The Far Reaches

Reviewed by Michael T. Rose | Jul 21, 1995

In Kingdom: The Far Reaches' involved plot, you're Lathan, a young wizard-in-training searching for several mystic totems, while the forces of evil are nipping at your heels.

Step-by-step decisions limit control over Lathan between or during clips, so while Saturday-morning-TV fans may thrill to the thought of manipulating a cartoon, older players aren't likely to be much impressed.
