Press Quotes
“Few RPGs handle choice so well as Tyranny.” 8.3/10 – IGN “Tyranny isn't just about the triumph of evil: it is the triumph of role-playing games.” 9/10 – Wccftech “Whatever legacy players leave on the world of Terratus, Tyranny will leave a lasting legacy on RPGs. This is a game that truly takes on the whole concept of evil and does it justice.” 4/5 – The Guardian
