Be Legend - Ragnarok Full Art Print and play

I don't think I've ever been so confused by a synopsis. If all life has ceased then how are the mythological gods, creatures, and what-not still alive? What is a "programming combat system?" Do you mean programmable?

This works much better, although I'd drop "Victors write history." The bit after that is more concise and compelling on its own. I like the Collector working for a Universal Pantheon bit. He seems more like a Curator, particularly when you consider the Latin it derives from. It's actually rather disappointing that this has the whole Norse shtick going on, because that aspect is fairly disco, even if it's not quite up there with zombies, these days. The idea of history versus fiction; Tarzan versus Napoleon, Dracula versus Vlad Tepes, or H.P. Lovecraft versus Adolf Hitler really would have grabbed my attention -- an Epic Rap Battles of History type game. Pairing that very interesting hook with something as pedestrian as Norse mythology robs from the concept's potential. It's like doing a game about WWII tanks but everyone has to use a Fiat 3000.

No, I get that. I'm questioning your marketing decision and feel that using Norse mythology for your base set detracts from the concept's potential. There has been quite a bit of Norse stuff on Kickstarter, notably "Blood Rage" not so long ago, so while the demand is evident, backers interested in that sort of setting may feel a little tapped out at present. Limiting the starter set to one pantheon establishes your game in a niche within a niche so that it won't have legs to make it to those future expansions.

An inability to lie or understand lying is a science fiction trope that has been around forever, as with the Houyhnhnms in Gulliver's Travels. In fact, the Collector reminds me a lot of the Thermians from Galaxy Quest. I'm a little more wary of the notion of our species being the only one in all of the universe to invent fiction, assuming at least that there are a multitude of populated planets in the universe. I could see us being the sole planet to invent the Shamwow or Segway, but being the sole bastion of fiction in a universe of Vulcans is rather pitiable.

I agree that you should thank them -- it's good to reach out and stay in contact with anyone who gives your game press.

But I wouldn't call this a review -- the writer admits s/he hasn't played the game. If you keep a list of "mentions" or something like that, this would be a better place to document that.

I only post this because if I were considering whether to print your game and followed a link you posted to this, thinking I was going to get a review, I would be annoyed.
