I played the prologue in the weekend and it was awesome. This is a really good light RPG with a lot of humor.

The combat is very simple, but the quest design is more interesting than most AAA games, for example. You don't have quest logs, so you basically have to look for items to complete quests and sometimes trade them. It might be simplistic, but the writing is very fun.
I'm playing it, I figured I spent so much time playing the original Kingdom of Loathing without ever spending a cent that I owed the developers a game purchase.
It's a fun, unique game. Combat is reasonably simple, but some fights do still require some thought, and there are a lot of skills and abilities to develop. But it's more the adventure/exploration part of the game which shines.
Ultimately it's a really unique game that I can't easily compare to any other. I'm sure people might love it or hate it.

10/10? Because the unique quest system is awsome and although the rest of it stinks?
It's like 10/10 on almost full black screen in Dark Souls clones just because a reviewer adores it's grind system although everything else is plain garbage in that game.
Usually I'd buy a game that tried something different. In this case, out of protest to this and similar reviewers, I refuse to even touch it. Troll someone else Bleeding Coo!.

While I never discovered Kingdom of Loathing, I must admit this game already appeals to me. One thing I'm a bit concerned about is the stark black/white contrast, and that it may be hurtful on the eyes after lengthy periods of time. It's possible they've accounted for this by default in the options menu, who knows.
The slapstick humor is a big plus in my book.

I can't believe the reviews this is getting. From the videos it looks like a sidescroller/jrpg hybrid.
I never found Kingdom of Loathing all that deep, so I'm can't figure out what the fuss is about.

Well at some point you do unlock nostalgia mode, which lets you change the black and white to be more yellowish and grainy.
