Release Date: July 18, 2017
An original RPG with elements of roguelike; it was developed by an independent developer Andrew Morrish. The player is taken to a relatively unusual fantasy world, but what distinguishes Kingsway among other similar games, are the very unusual gameplay mechanics. The game resembles a simplistic operating system and the entire action takes place in several different dialogue boxes (the player can customize them).
Kingsway for PC is an RPG featuring strong elements of the roguelike subgenre and created by an independent gamemaker Andrew Morrish. Kingsway was published by Adult Swim Games.
The player is taken to an ordinary fantasy world. What distinguishes Kingsway among other similar games, are the unusual mechanics employed here. The game resembles a simplistic operating system and the entire action takes place in dialogue boxes – traps and enemies are presented in the form of windows popping-up, the equipment is managed through placing particular elements in separate folders; as for the quests, information concerning them are given to the player in the form of e-mail messages. What is more, the player can customize the colors of the interface to their liking and move different windows around.
However, apart from the structure of the game, everything else is in order – the procedurally-generated environment is filled with adversaries (fantasy creatures, such as living skeletons or bandits waiting to rob the protagonist) and the player acquires more and more powerful weapons. Also, the player-controlled adventurer represents one of several specialties. Additionally, the protagonist's personality is shaped by the player's decisions. Before entering a cave, which can be hiding both valuable treasures and strong enemies, one should be aware that death is permanent here.
Kingsway for PC offers minimalistic, two-dimensional visuals. The protagonist's appearance, different enemies, icons symbolizing items owned, and the game's map were all created using a pixel-art graphic style, which brings 8-bit classics into mind.

Giant Bomb: 4 / 5 by Ben Pack
Kingsway goes beyond being just a throwback to the past, and proves itself an entertaining game in its own right.
CGMagazine: 7 / 10 by Lane Martin
A fun procedurally generated rpg adventure with a punishing difficulty that will require multiple playthroughs.
Kinglink Reviews: 2 / 5
Kingsway has a great interface, but it has a lackluster gameplay. I want the gameplay to be better than it was because it has a nostalgic feeling for me, but it doesn’t hook the player like it could.
