Really enjoying this

So, I have been waiting for the upcoming Eador: Masters of the Broken World and all of a sudden this shows up on GOG. What a great game. Turn-based strategy, with turn-based combat. I love the shard system for the maps. I love the fact that each territory on a shard can be explored for cool sites. I love that there are meaningful choices to be made every turn. Overall, this one is just a pure gem. Can't wait to see how the sequel turn out, but it'll have to be pretty special to be better than this one.

Worth twice the regular price

Truly, a fun game. I consider myself a bit jaded as a strategy/war gamer, but Eador was immediately likeable. The graphics didn't put me off one bit. The campaign with the Tutorial option will get you going quite quickly, and the game mechanics are generally well-thought out using standard RPG conventions. The "var" folder also contains text files that are moddable so you can adjust the difficulty and other things to your liking. And yes, there really is that great "one more turn" feeling when playing the game. Thanks GOG for bringing this inexpensive gem to our attention.

If You Value Your Life, Don't Play

For your own health, relationships with your family and friends, and employment I hope you are turned off by the graphics of this game and never try it. Otherwise, you are doomed! Several parts to this game make it especially good. - Its pretty balanced, this isn't a lot of useless stuff in it, or at least there isn't anywhere as much useless stuff as similar games I have played. Its also hard, and punishes you for making stupid mistakes. - The roguelike lite save system. The game autosaves for you and lets you go back one turn for a point penalty and reset the map for a point penalty. Thats it. I like this because often in these types of game I get obsessed with doing everything perfectly, and continuously reload saves. - The campaign is setup so that you have to conquer many smaller worlds to win. Every world you start anew with a hero. This places the emphasis on the early and mid game battle to grow powerful thats so much fun in these kinds of games, and reduces the emphasis on the flatlining difficulty curve that happens once you get over the mid-game hump (and becomes boring fast).

Great Game and Great Mod.

I really recommend this Great Game! And those who want to make the game even better and more difficult, I recommend the "New Horizons" mod. With it, the game becomes even more interesting, but it is for "experts" in this game.

Forget about the sequels, you don't need them, this is the superior experience of Eador.
