You know there was a time when games had to rely on more than graphics and flash. I belive it was something called 'gameplay'. Yeah, that's the ticket! While far from perfect, this game kept me busy for hours, contstantly tinkering with each different region, adjusting this, tweaking that, all the while worried about the threat of invasions? Excellent game. Thanks GOG for bringing back a true classic.
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!
