I'd dial the aggression down from an AMAZING 10!!! to a reasonable 6.
As it is, I'm really put off by the EXTREME MARKETING!!!

I will look at the game anyhow, I have been waiting for my latest KS project to back. You have about a 40% chance of backing for RPG boardgames on my existing record, those aren't bad odds really.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Anyway, City of Kings has a worker placement element that's not in most adventure boardgames, so, if you're tired of dice-chuckers, look into it. Go onto BGG so you can better do your research before backing.
I took one look at it and haven't backed, I even decided not to let the Dakka sale pitch not dissuade me. The artwork however was not to my liking and I didnt like the feel of the game.
Not a Caps Lock worthy effort in my opinion.

I have to admit that I was originally put off by the OP, thinking that it was some sort of slightly over the top sales pitch. However, having clicked on the link out of morbid curiosity - I have a strange interest in the practices of snake oil salesman - I have become quite interested by this game. Enough so, in fact, that I have popped my KS cherry and actually backed the game.
I think that this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it looks different enough that it can fill a niche in my board gaming arsenal.
The posts on BGG give a much more in depth look and understanding of the game, and I think the link provided above by ced1106 is fairly comprehensive concerning what impression we have of the game at this stage.
If, like me, you were originally put off by the OP don't do yourself a disservice, check it out and see if it ticks any boxes.
