I played a quick skirmish game (or part of one) with high hopes. Being a HUGE fan of the original Total Annihilation, I expected this to be along the same lines. I was sorely disappointed to find that the experience is a far cry from my beloved TA. Granted, I can see where the appeal of a medievil fantasy/magic type version of the game would be loved by some, however I couldn't bring myself to finish even one skirmish. About 15 minutes into the gameplay, I had grown bored with the way the game played and found myself uninstalling it. Worth the price? yes, if nothing more than to try it out. Would I play it again? Maybe... oneday... probably not though.
