Mind-bogglingly complex RPG King of Dragon Pass has had a hefty price cut on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, to celebrate the game's 15th anniversary.

If you haven't played it, the game's a mix of Civilization-like empire-builder and character-driven gamebook, with seemingly infinite narrative possibilities. Back in 2011 we deemed it "a wholly unique adventure that has no equal on the iPhone".

It usually costs about £6.99 / $9.99 but you can now get it for £2.99 / $4.99 or thereabouts on iOS, Google Play (US only), Amazon, and the Windows Phone store.

Also, developer A-Sharp says it's working on a spiritual successor the game called we’re currently working on a spiritual successor to King of Dragon Pass called Six Ages, which will also be set in the magical world of Glorantha.

"We have ambitious plans and a small team, so we don’t expect to release anything before 2016," the studio says. You can follow the game's progress on this here website.
