Cheap Total War Clone
Another game that doesn't understand that you have to draw players in before making things difficult. It didn't take long into my first game to realize that this isn't a Total War game. Rome Total War was a masterpiece of tactical combat; this game is not. The battles are weightless and your control over your soldiers is weak at best. Just watch a fight and you will see floaty combat and weapons not seeming to hit anything before units fall into the grass and disappear into the ground... The camera is out of place more often than not and not easy to use at all. The game has some interesting ideas, like the capture points, and the combination of hero units to your Total War style armies, but it's all poorly implemented. Very quickly you will come up against armies you cannot beat, higher level enemies with magic spells that will wipe out your unit from across the map that you didn't even see. The battles are not in any way comparable to Total War. This is ersatz. Clicking your armies on the overworld map for some reason lags before you see any information. The writing in game is often improperly punctuated. There are just all sorts of quality issues in this game. It looks great other than the eyebleeding saturation of springtime. It sounds very good as well except for the hard cuts in music tracks, and there don't seem to be many tracks at all. This game seems to have been hardly tested. It's mediocre at best.
