I've never been big on RTS games. Always thought they seemed more work than fun.. Then I tried out The Settlers II 10th Anniversary one day, and it was great! I still think my thoughts on RTS still apply nowadays though, but this game is a real exception.
I don't have nostalgia goggles on, so hopefully my review is unbiased. It took some getting used to, but its pretty neat. You can tell when a lot of work went into a game by the developers. It feels like there's so many things to take in though, so it feels overwhelming sometimes. Spells and such don't always work like you'd think, but its still fun. Might be better if you know D&D lingo, or you'll be pretty lost.
I don't know how much my opinion counts since I just started playing this. I love the Neo-80's vibe and music. The controls are iffy though. I don't really like the idea of getting "good" at getting used to a game's unorthodox, unnatural controls. Characters run at 500 MPH. Pixel art is rather ugly. Might be a good story though, I guess. I'll see as I continue to play.
