Fantasy Wars

Similar to Fantasy General, Fantasy Wars is a turn-based SRPG that starts you off on a campaign with a few units, which gain experience/levels/abilities as they fight, and you get more both as the story progresses and you can buy them. Compared to Fantasy General, it's much harder, even on easy difficulty, and doesn't have research (you are granted access to more/higher unit types as the storyline progresses), you also get a lot less gold and it's much easier to lose your units, and except for heroes (regular units die permanently, heroes don't), so you can be handicapped if you win a mission but lose too many. Missions give extra rewards for completing them quickly, denoted by a gold, silver, or bronze cup. Silver or gold is usually required to get any extra unit or artifact that comes as a reward. There are three campaigns with some heroes/equipped gear/surviving units carried over from the first two to the third. The missions start out as simple conquer a location or kill all enemies, but later have more dynamic objectives, like survive X rounds or get to Y location without stopping to fight or be overwhelmed. While the graphics are dated and story is nothing special, it's a solid tactical SRPG.

This game gave me strange feeling, from one side it has most elements you would be expected from good TBS. But balance and maps or stupid story with some illogical elements discard good image (like dwarf who pledged his life to elf ...).

the army management and fighting is fun. The ridiculous turn countdown give you less options on how youd like to advance, as you must only have a hurried strategy. Price is worth the try if you think that wont bother you. graphics are just fine

Loving the gameplay, it's a good tatical battle/strategy, basically you fight the battle and in the end upgrade the units to better ones (if possible). Just the names are a bit hard to see and some mechanics are dificult to understand until you use them. But love the animations during the game. A good and solid turn base taticel game with a fantasy flare.

It has some nice strategy elements. Unit types and level-up mechanics necessiate tactics at micro and macro level. Graphics are decent. Story is clichy but not disturbing. I enjoyed it for a long time.
