Description
Kenji, exiled heir to the Dragon throne, must stake his claim in a chaotic world wracked by the subversive intrigues of the Serpent, Wolf, and Lotus clans. Shall he vanquish the land under a campaign of malevolence and terror or restore the war-torn realm to its former glory? Enter Battle Realms and choose your destiny. Explore the history that led up to the events in Battle Realms in Battle Realms: Winter of the White Wolf. Scattered and unorganized, your enslaved Wolf brethren hunger for revolt against their corrupt Lotus Clan masters. You must unite them. You must lead them. You must free them.

Battle Realms is fantasy real-time strategy game inspired by the stories told in kung-fu movies and oriental mythology. Develop your tiny peasant village into a highly trained and deadly efficient clan of warriors who are ready to die with your name on their lips. Experiment with Unit Alchemy and turn villagers into one-of-a-kind fighters like Samurai Cannoneers, Bandits, Geisha, and scores of other mythical warriors. Defend your people against the hordes of barbarians, evil magicians, and deadly ninjas.
  • The package includes the original Battle Realms and its Winter of the Wolf expansion that focuses on the Wolf clan and serves as a prequel to the original campaign.
  • Seize tactical advantages in a living world teeming with life - birds fly when startled, wolves attack troops, and higher ground offers increased power to ranged attacks.
  • Command the power of Zen - your Zen Masters wield fantastic powers in the heat of battle.

Unique gameplay and game mechanics

After playing this game, no other RTS game impressed me. It had everything! Projectile type ranged attacks for ranged units, burning splinters coming out of a burning building would set fire and damage other buildings it hits or just damage units, you could roll boulders off cliffs for instakilling units, higher ground really mattered, all units had unique fighting sounds and animations, ranged units would fight in melee when attacked by a melee unit (archers would fight hand to hand using fists and kicks), the resource management was very neat, rain would affect the growth of rice (the most important currency). Stacking max tier units was a bad strategy. It was way better to take advantage of the synergy between different units and their abilities. Really, I can go on with this list for hours. But the more I played it, the more I loved it. I am just really sad it got no sequel or no "remastered" version. I would have payed hard money for it.

A classic and highly thematic RTS

Battle Realms is a real-time strategy game with a heavy feudal Japan theme. It plays similarly to Warcraft III, with four different clans, hero units and a relatively slow pace. It has a non-linear campaign and hectic yet soothing gameplay. Instead of spawning, units are trained from peasants to one of a large variety of warriors, all of who are useful and combine on a battlefield. Battle Realms is simple in its presentation, but with complex mechanics, making it easy to learn and really hard to master. But most of all, Battle Realms has spirit.

Display issue here as well.

I wanted to play this game so bad but is not working. It keeps crashing with the display error. I LOVE GOG... but this is disheartening. I suppose its the risk we take with old games. I will have to ask for a refund...sadly. Id rather be playing this game right now. It was among the last I wanted/needed to complete my library.

Better than Warcraft 3

This was the true king of RTS of that time. I didn't like Warcraft 3, but liked this one a lot.
