To be fair, I never really played a TBS before and I did not hear about this game until a demo was out. (Message to other developer, a demo give more visibility and it cost almost nothing) and it was a pleasant surprise. The mission available caught my interest so I decided to use the money that I kept for Demigod (note, a game with no demo ^^) to get this game. The graphic are superb and colorful. The animation are well done and give a feeling your hero are alive. The story is a bit hard to follow (well for me). I guess it's because I did not play fantasy wars, but in this game, story is not really important. The music is nothing special, but it's not annoying to hear. The US voice acting is also nothing special. No particular voices are memorable. The AI is the best part of the game. Alway challenging, alway ready to hit your weak spot and give you a nightmare. You will alway come back for more. The good AI is even more a precious asset of the game, since the MP is dead.
So, for 30$ you got a really good game that will give you hours of pleasure , unlike the kind of rip-off we are getting for 30$ these days, like COH:tale of valor.
The game include a complete open-ended campaign with multiples endings and a dozen of missions with the human, orc, etc :)
My personal surprise of the year. If you are tired to support the same crap with bigger number on their title and you want to try something new, try the demo, you have nothing to lose!

Awesome game for ex-tabletop gamers, turn based gaming with a hotseat multiplayer mode. Good campaign with voice acting and pretty damn difficult requiring you to really think about tackling each turn. Your units level... Read Full Review
