A Tale of Two Kingdoms is an epic faerie tale, in the classic style of the famous Sierra and LucasArts graphical adventure games. It is a full-length game with an atmosphere of magic and intrigue. Featuring five different endings; many sidequests and alternative solutions; teamwork with non-player characters; 75 minutes of high quality music; and director's commentary.
I can't believe nobody voted for this game until now! It's a real masterpiece, the very pinnacle of what AGS is able to realize: The developer created a really epic saga around two enemy kingdoms, a menacing invasion of nonhumans and a dark and sinister opponent. The game is strongly inspired by celtic mythology and manages to create a fascinating atmosphere of wonder and mystery on one hand, and of politics and diplomacy on the other hand. I absolutely love the different solutions for many puzzles, the different endings you can achieve for the game and the wonderful ideas behind the puzzles. Graphics and sounddesign are absolutely phenomenal - ATOK could not only be a forgotten Sierra-classic by it's visual greatness - it's even better than most of what Sierra achieved! Storytelling and writing are excellent, portraying believable characters and interesting situations. The whole gameworld seems to be alive as you try to find your way through it. This game is a fantastic achievement and I can only strongly advise you to play it.
