Warlords Battlecry 3

This is one of the more unique RTS games out there with an amazing amount of content and complexity. It's certainly worth anyone's time and money, though it might not be the most polished game out there. It's also more focused on single player, so the fact that it's old should not be an issue. The game is centered around creating a persistent hero which gains levels and transfers between battles, increasing in strength, expanding their retinue and acquiring new artifacts and abilities. It offers a lot of replayability.

i loved this game when it came out. however now that i and a few friends have bought it again, the multiplayer just simply doesnt work. we have researched high and low adjusted ports and tried out mods... and it simply does NOT work. so single player game is fine but unless u live in an igloo with no internet dont think you can play multiplayer.

This game doesn't seem to work on windows 7 64 bit systems. I don't think they bothered testing the game to see if it plays because it crashes on the campaign. If you are reading this review it may have been too late. As for the game itself, it is as good as Warcraft because instead of a hero you get a superhero in a RTS.

This is one of those odd games that I never thought would be all that interesting, until I started playing it. Queue playing about three dozen different heroes and something like 300 - 400 hours of gameplay later, and I can definitely say that - depending on your tastes - this game can definitely keep you entertained for a while. As some other reviews have stated, the only thing keeping me from giving us a full five stars is the poorly considered patch which destroys the usefulness of summons, and subsequently completely and utterly wrecks the balance/usefulness of several races and hero class types. This is particularly frustrating because undead is one of my preferred races, and playing a lich or necromancer is basically rendered useless as a direct result of this particular version of the patch. That said, if you don't feel like reverting to previous version via implementing a few work arounds (which could very well risk screwing up the DRM in any other game, but considering I used to play this game off of a USB drive that I had copied the CD contents to, I think it's safe to say that is one of the few things you don't have to worry about), there are other races and classes that are still quite fun - imperial is probably a great starting race, as is one of the melee specific classes for your hero, but personally I prefer play Plaguelord and pre-patch Undead. One particularly lovely thing about this game is the fact that if you can read this review, then chances are about 100% that your computer can run this game just fine. Much like Doom and Doom 2, it probably will run just fine on a toaster. For a game that's under $10, you're unlikely to find too many other titles the same price range this entertaining which can readily occupy the amount of time as this one.

Having been convinced by Sseth to buy this Title, it is very good! I am about five Hours into it and until now, i like it, even if i am bad at real Time Strategy. + Hero Units that can Level + Search for Equipment for your Hero + Normal Units do also Level up and you can take some with you + Nice Soundtrack & Sound Design + I like the prerendered Graphics and their Design + Cool Factions, Dinosaurs included + Free roamable Map with Missions, Trade Posts and Factions to explore and Conquer + If you fail, it suggests the Easy Mode (thanks haha) Negatives: - Can't run in windowd Mode (Lossless Scaling makes a nice Picture of those old Games) - Tab out and the Game freezes
