The game itself was fun at the beginning, i wanted a simple Warcraft 2 clone like wyrmsun and it delivered. However, with only 2 races the game itself runs fastly out of steam and it hasnt nearly the longevity warcraft 2 did. All is getting very boring very soon and there is a reason why: Without a map editor, or more then a handfull of maps, the game has nothing to offer after the campaign is finished. The developer abandoned the project as far as i can see, because there havent been updates for ages. All in all i dont understand why it has such a high rating, but without map editor and the features that should have been implemented by now, its just a very short lived experience. Btw in skirmishes the AI has big limitations when the first gold mine is empty and often has problems getting another one, which makes it even less interesting. I cant recommend it and after playing the campaigns, never touched it again. Normally thats when the fun with rts-games beginns for me...
Game works fine for me, win 7 64x. Sometimes it has errors and quits with a message, but after restarting things work again. Same thing goes for the installation: When my pc is running for a long time it just doesnt installs the game. After a restart it miraculously does however, The game is brutal but in a rewarding way, you check the maps closely for items just to get that little advantage in next fights, meanwhile try to keep youre guys alive, sometimes you make things perfect and after 15 minutes, one important unit looses its morale check and gets killed, brutal as hell. Graphics and controls are...old but you really get into both after some battles, the mechanic of the game is so rewarding, you ll look over the tech. Love it!
A simplistic design, but very interesting art-style. Having entered different locations till now i have to say, the graphics transport a unique feeling. You are free to imagine your hero, your enemies, well many things you see. The game transports a dark, very uncomfortable feeling. If you don´t focus, the next two enemies you see can kill you so fast, you don´t even know what happened, but its in a way like dark souls or lords of the fallen, your fault not broken game mechanics. I play it for 1 or 2 hours a day and i must say, the game delivers. Grips me more from day to day, opening slowly but in a satisfying way slowly. You liked Zombie Night terror´s style and love this kind of pixelart and you like the metroid or castlevania series, just buy it its worth it.
I hoped so long for a game, that has the freedom, a divine divinity had. I hoped that Larian, when they have the right amount of ressources (including time to polish theyre game), would make the best game they can do. They delivered. Beyond Divinity, Ego Draconis, Original Sin 1, all good games that i liked, but i always knew they could do more. This game has the magic, just try it out and it will suck you in hard! Dont forget to sleep btw :)
