Etherlords

I remember that game very well! At the time I thought it was probably the best Heroes of Might and Magic meets Magic the Gathering game I could ask for. Beautiful and very fun, I spent hours perfecting my deck and crushing my enemies. Or getting crushed, to be fair, the game does get tough. Turn by turn strategie fans, get this game. CCG fans, get this game. In short, get this game, and hope the next one in the series is added as well!

This is a good example of what happens when a developer plans well and then sticks to that plan. Etherlords is a solid game with addictively frustrating game play. The importance of managing your spells and summonings AND being flexible with your build so you can better match your next opponent is crucial. This game does not care about your feelings, it will crush you mercilessly if you don't have a strong deck or if you get a bad run of cards. As mentioned by others there are some graphic and game play flaws that keep this and it's predecessor from being five star games, but it is a solid entry into the TBS/RPG crossover field and one I happily have in my physical collection alongside Fantasy General and HOMM

It is a good game and pretty fun but it does get repetitive after a while and as someone have said before won't come near HoMM3 or Disciples. Before you purchase this game I should warn you the pacing is slow due to the combat style. So be prepare to spend TONS of hours because of the long combats. I still remember this as the most annoying factor for both games.

Pretty fun game. I like CCGs, so it's natrual I'd enjoy this game. It's tough, but that can be a good thing depending on taste. The main problem is that unlike most GOG games, this game seems to fully crash if I get any kind of dialog popping up (skype, etc.).. it also has Alt-tab disabled and doesn't seem to have a windowed mode. For the money I'll not exactly complain, but GOG ususually does amazingly well allowing games to run well under modern Windows 7 conditions, but this seems to be an exception that I have to set my computer up specially to get working.
