Fun way to play Magic

Excellent update to the Beastmen! Wish more of the mods were updated to support it.

Great game. Good times.

Solid tower defense game if likely not the best of the bunch. Fun to kill 1000's of enemies at once.

Super steep learning curve, but a wide open world once you get the hang of it. There are mechanics you won't even learn about until 30 or 40 hours into the game.

Excellent turn-based tactics game. Super engrossing.

REALLY needs mod support through Steam workshop though as that would take this game into the stratosphere...

A classic movie. One of the best all time action/horror movies.

This is the best Civilization game since IV.

I originally did not recommend this game, but after further playing I have updated my opinion.

Updated Review:

This game has a steep learning curve, and I still can barely beat a Medium AI, but this game plays beautifully and hits all the buttons for a great RTS wargame. I wish they would have made the default AI easier and just given higher difficulty levels for people who want that challenge, but at the end of the day, the game simply is really really good and now I am hooked. If you like wargames or RTS games, you should get it. Just be prepared for a steep steep learning curve.


Original Review:

There's a lot to like about this game. It's pretty and plays well, and has a ton of depth to it, but this is another one of those strategy games that is just made to be stupidly hard. It's like they optimized it to maximize the likelihood you feel dumb when playing it. I have played 100's of hours of RTS games and love them, but I can barely beat the Very Easy AI. Maybe I am just terrible and need to git gud, but I don't have the desire or the time to make it happen, and I don't think I should have to devote dozens of hours to a game just to be passable at it.

This is the best 4X to come out in years and is likely to only get better with new expansions.

10.0/10.0
