Fantasy General II - Invasion

I have replayed Fantasy General more than any other game. When I saw this game announced I was hoping they would get it right. They got it right. This is how second parts should be. Taking the original concepts, replacing bad mechanics and adding a few new ones. I like my strategy games when I have to think beforehand and come up with a good plan. Instead of mindless clicking. The game is fair with no random involved and the difficulty is brutal but beatable (on hard). The units are cool and balanced There is only a mechanic I dont like and the dev said on the forums they are gping to tune it down. Kudos for good communication. I really recommend this game to any strategy lover. The panzer general formula looks deceptively simple but it is extremely good fun and tough to master. I really want to go home and play it now!

Love this game so far. I'm quite a few scenarios in and enjoying all of them so far. This is a very faithful sequel to the original Fantasy General. It has a lot of the same feel and the mechanics feel familiar while all being updated for modern interface. Graphics are solid and the game runs without any problems so far, even when leaving it running for a lot of hours at a time. I especially like the use of the original soundtrack, really brings back memories and keeps that Fantasy General feel to the game. My only real quibble so far is that I wish there was more unit variety or another faction. I am hoping this will come with DLC or mods.

Fantasy General II occupies a halfway point between Gladius and Age of Wonders. Perhaps this is unsurprising since Gladius was made by the same dev. It's a meaty, varied and solid strategy title and I haven't even reached any of the dlc's yet. One particular design standout is the non-linearity and interesting details of upgrades. Though there are upgrades of the +10% hp or damage type, they are outnumbered (and often outclassed) by upgrades that improve movement or combat behavior on different kinds of terrain. This is further modified by a pleasant variety in attack types. They seem similar at first, but this game has ranged attacks with only 1 range (IE melee) and they are quite different from regular melee attacks. Likewise, 2-range physical attacks behave very differently from 2-range magical attacks. This rounds out to a wide range of potential combat options and throughout the game's lengthy campaign there are plenty of options to investigate all of them. All in all, great stuff, I'm having a blast.

Thank you for releasing this game drm free. I have come a long way in the Barbarians campaign, this is a really good game. This game and its expansions are Worth every penny! The good: -What I have seen the AI does not cheat, AI plays the game following the rules witch is really impressive. Few strategy games have this good programmed AI. -Game play is captivating, and really solid. -The campaign story is good, really enjoying my first campaign play trough -Beautiful graphics -Not seen any bugs, good programmed game. The bad: Nothing bad to say about this game

Its starts off easy but gets realy challenging. The game forces you to make critical decisions that shape your future battles and decisions. The campain is very well made. My only compaint is that thier isnt enough factions. and only one campain. I realy hope they release more as dlc.
