Your lord can only do a certain number of special card abilities per battle, so time your moves wisely. But in comes the battle version of the card system to make sure you stay on your toes. Attacking from behind does more damage, units have special moves, trained units fight better and do more damage… yada yada yada. Moving on to the battles, they play out in much the same standard you’d expect for the genre.

But because everything is streamlined and focused, you never feel lie you’re losing track of what’s actually happening, and that was a huge plus for me. The win conditions and map size can be edited before creating the match, but it still truly leaves you stunned when you realise how little you’ve actually accomplished for your time. The map in the tutorial will not prepare you for the shock you’ll feel when you realise that after a few hours of fighting back enemies and upgrading your troops, thinking you’ve got your enemies pinned back, you accidentally pan out and realise you occupy a tenth of the map, and several other armies are out there, doing exactly what you are. You can also cash in with certain cards that allow you to get a massive blood pay-out by ‘consuming’ your nearest village or city’s inhabitants. Villages earn you a certain amount of blood each new turn and can also be upgraded to yield more blood.
These supply you with your blood, and blood is everything from playing cards to recruiting new troops. There are also your villages to think of. These buildings can even be upgraded for even more units. Taking certain buildings allows you to recruit special units like Dire wolves, bats, and gargoyles. Special cards are rewarded for victory in battle, and we’ll get to the battles shortly. These cards can also boost your unit veterancy, increase your blood count, make your projects and recruitment’s a lot cheaper, and even reveal parts of the map you’ve not been to. Cards with various effects such as enemy hindering curses that skip their turn or leave them weakened before you attack can simply be played from your hand. All too familiar I’m sure, but the new card system is what interested me in the game and proves to be a strong point.

You recruit units, fortify positions, upgrade buildings, train your leading lords, and then you duke it out with the AI for supremacy. A nice mix of all the gameplay, minus the darker elements of story. What I was able to play is the sandbox mode. There are a few other bugs like the enticing skirmish mode often loading without your opponents and then declaring you a victor when you start the first turn, but again, I suspect patches in the near future. But I’m sure this will be patched before launch.
I won’t spoil the campaign, partly because I wouldn’t want to, and partly because at the time of writing this, the campaign remains a one-way ticket to your dashboard. And this brings us nicely into today’s turn-based strategy. That’s not to say strategic challenge is beyond me, as I love tactical games, and depth is wonderful, but please don’t over do it. Seems silly, I’m sure, but a game that has too much complexity can be off-putting for people like me. Give me too many options, and I won’t be able to enjoy myself. But sometimes a game can be a bit overwhelming because of its ambition. Grand strategy games that cost you time, effort, and commitment are often the games that you play the longest.
To say I didn’t understand the game is however untrue.

That’s completely fair, and everybody is free to their opinion. I got a bit of flack for another of my reviews regarding a turn-based strategy. Or at least, the death of our perception of time. Take on the turn-based strategy genre bares her fangs and entices us

Take full advantage of this Xbox feature, and many great titles fromĪrk to Subnautica have all been available to play in game preview, atĪ fraction of the full retail release price. Official launch when you just simply keep the full game? Seems aĭecent bit of risk and reward to me. Of the game to own an unfinished version of it right up till it’s Game previews have become very popular on Xbox Live. That comes so early we couldn’t review it even if we wanted to. When we get to take an early look at a game.
