Great Game
This was an excellent game and i enjoyed the stratagies and I certainly enjoyed the outflanking menuever espically when the A.I. walked right into it! It had a nice concept and something like this hasn't been done in a while! I hope to see more like this but make the defensive wall and boar's snout more important in stratagey because it didn't seem to make a difference while I was playing! Maybe have the boar's snout do some more damage when charging and have the defensive wall take less damage from straight on melee attack and a slight decrease in arrow damage to add a more stratigic felling to it. The game at least was balanced so you couldn't just make one type of unit (I tried with the cavalry and i lost completely to an A.I. that was balanced. I liked the archery concept where there was no line telling you where the bulk of the arrows would land. It is hard at first but when you figure it out it becomes a piece of cake! Maybe if you make another game in the future, you should make a game literally in the future! Even though the bulk of the units would be ranged, make them all have a certain space range and just create a long ranged artillery gun as a replacement of the archers. It wouldn't be hard because you make the furture so who knows! Maybe there are even melee units in the future just look at Star Wars! They are in the future and they are still swinging around swords only way more dangerous than a steel sword but still it'd make for a cool game to play! Just some suggestions....
Brilliant.
Good Points:
- Very Accurate History.
- Very Entertaining and Addictive.
- Able to play with your Friends.
- A Detailed Campaign.
- Lots of Action.
Bad Points:
- Level Codes don't work for me.
- Could contain Campaigns for each Side.
Overall: A brilliant game, but could have more. Maybe do a WWII Game next? 4/5
Nice
I like the history lesson behind the battles. The minigames were cool, although archery had rather vague directions and it took me several turns to figure it out. I loved the morale meter and shouting insults across the battlefield. The graphics had a nice feel (especially the map used during cutscenes!)
It's a cool game.
Good graphics.Nice sounds.Interesting story.
A great game to kill your spare time and having your mind into it.
But the combat can be difficult at times.Specially the archery at first.And getting outflanked by the enemy when you outflank them.Wtf.Having your enemies fight a shield wall and send a unit behind to fight the lone unit against your shield wall...and you get"out-flanked".Yeeee right.
