Age of Wonders 3

I've bought it years ago, because TotalBiscut said it is fun. It is fun, and made me love the entire series from 1 till 4 and beyond. It is old tho, keep that in mind.

Maybe my favorite strategy game. The only thing I don't like are the regular updates because in my opinion they make the graphics worse each time. More cartoonish (like Age of Wonders 4) and with less realism.

I have hundreds of hours invested in this game and there are hundreds more to invest. Most replayable game i have ever played!

I love the AOW series and like what they did with AOW3 with 2 major exeptions: - It has a DRM (-1 star). - AOW3 has no PBEM support up until now (10/2014) and maybe will never have. The devs don't answer any questions concerning PBEM (-2 stars).

I first felt ripped off by spending $5 dollar for a map I thought was more of a campaign. It was not. Then I was irritated constantly by the appalling mouse controls. Think of every rpg style game you have ever played. Now think of how annoying it would be to have you mouse do everything opposite of every game ever created. As for the game itself? The game just lacks most of the basic elements that were in Shadow Magic. Which may not as good, but that goes to show you that the game is just pretty without the polish. I personally rather sit back and play a well rounded good quality game, no matter how high the graphics are upped. That said, after playing through the terrible campaigns of AoW3. It was enough. Large portions of what you are supposed to do are just ignored entirely and you fail repeated in some maps. Not because of poor game tactics, but because they designed it to be so vague you have NO idea whatsoever what or where to do or go. Feel free to play this game. But be aware the last one was crafted better in terms of game play. The other hand will say, if you like being frustrated and only playing a game just because you paid too much for it, well at least it looks pretty, just don't expect the brains >_>
