    Banquet for Fools Review: In a Class of Its Own

    The golden age of crowdfunding RPGs has come and gone, giving us some modern classics like Pillars of Eternity, Grim Dawn, and Underrail, while also leaving behind a few titles that didn't quite live up to expectations (Dead State, anyone?). There are also a few that didn't remain in collective memory, confined to niche circles. The two-person development house Whalenought Studios' 2015 Serpent in the Staglands is one of those RPGs. It wasn't a great CRPG by any means, plagued by balancing issues and bugs throughout its life. The duo's second venture, the cyberpunk tactical game Mechajammer, didn't impress either. But you know what they say- third time's the charm. In the case of Whalenought (now going by Hannah and Joseph Games), this certainly seems to be the case. Banquet for Fools, their third game and a spiritual successor to Serpent in the Staglands (which in turn is a spiritual successor to Darklands), seems to have not just hit the right notes but gone above and beyond to become one of the most unique CRPGs in recent memory.

    Banquet for Fools
    Banquet for Fools is a party-based isometric action-RPG developed by indie studio Hannah and Joseph Games (formerly Whalenought Games). It is set on the mysterious island of Invimona, where players lead a party of four guards to investigate the sudden disappearance of a farming village. The game will be released out of Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026.

    Score: 90/100
