Lords of Magic: Special Edition

Yes, I know: I had been eagerly awaiting this game's release. Either I really don't remember it right, or it was a blast of nostalgia, because the game is not as good as I think I remember. Firstly scrolling is a big issue: get near the edge of the screen and your view is gone! To make matters worse there's no mini-map to get your bearings. Also the game's graphics are dated: what might have looked good many years ago simply looks blotchy and difficult to discern what is a hero and what is a tree! It's too bad because I was really looking forward to this game, but given the wide assortment that GOG has to offer, there are far better alternatives. But, thanks GOG for bringing it back: I had forgotten all about this game!

I had fond memories of this game BUT the mouse speed on today's computers makes this game completely unplayable. Moving about the screen is super difficult, you'll zoom to the 4 corners and constantly have to try and nudge your screen to where your party is, however there is a center on party button, that helps slightly. Combat is even worse, there is no center button and makes playing this game impossible. There is an Auto combat option but in that case why bother playing the game? I strongly discourage buying this one.

Not where it counts, anyway. The combat is RTS, and absolutely horrible at that. My fault for not reading the reviews, I suppose.
