If you've never played it, don't
This game is not friendly to newcomers at all. Every review here is written by someone who'se coming back to this game from a long time ago and only has nostalgia for it. The first review here says "unsurpassed", while another mentions that it is perfect. Neither of those things are true. So what's good? Well it reminds me a lot of x-com in how detailed the management aspects are. There's immense variety in terms of building, magic, and unit types. That's where the fun ends. What's bad? Diffficulty. There are games that are challenging and there are games that are artificially hard. This falls into the latter category. Your units are about as useless as tissue paper and last about as long. This is on normal difficulty. You'll spend a few turns building up a nice little hamlet with a neat array of buildings, then you'll send an expeditionary force out to conquer another little village. While your sizeable force gets annihilated by 1-2 ghosts in a cave, a single squad of enemy swordsmen will pop out of nowhere and attack your capital. No warning, no chance to defend yourself with magic (as the name of the game and the intro cinematic would have you believe), you lost, sorry. It wouldn't make a difference even if you had had a force to defend it because whatever you throw at the enemy stands up about as well as a fart in a hurricane. People will be upset about this review perhaps and tell me that I just need to "git gud", but at the end of the day this game just isn't fun.
