About Highborn
This witty, wacky, turn-based strategy game is now available for Steam. In Highborn, you’re treated to a strategy game that offers an intelligent, tactical experience without the frenetic play of a traditional RTS. Move your forces around an overhead map to secure spells and combat support, then dive into combat to deploy those advantages against an unsuspecting enemy. All the fun and fighting is set against an irreverent tale, filled with wacky heroes, witty dialogue and wild assumptions.
Key Features:
- A New Strategy: A unique blend of strategic movement and combat caters to a variety of gameplay styles and offers lots of replayability.
- Many Styles of Play: Unlock hero characters for access to different abilities, play styles, and strategies.
- Achieve Greatness: More than 20 achievements to unlock, including judicious use of turns, using units as bait, and making it through an entire mission without capturing support structures.

All in all, this game is like that one-night stand you didn’t expect to enjoy but now you’re wondering if you should text them back. It’s short, easy to play, and pretty damn fun your first time through. But, like most one-night stands, the replay value isn’t great — unless you’re into the hardcore stuff, like chasing down those brutal achievements that’ll make you question your life choices and maybe your sanity. Controls? Simple. Which is nice, because my thumbs get bored easily. There’s not a spellbook the size of “War and Peace” here, so you won’t be juggling 37 abilities while wondering which button makes the magic death happen. Sound effects? Yeah… some of them will make you want to commit murder. Looking at you, Floyd. I don’t know who Floyd is, but I want him gone. Like… “John Wick levels of gone.” AI issues? Oh yeah. Sometimes they hide in trees like discount Rambo or get confused about who they’re trying to stab. But honestly, it’s easy enough to figure them out and spank them like the bad, bad little polygons they are. And please — don’t come here expecting Crusader Kings, Vikings of the Asgard (That's not even any game actually), or some deep, mind-bending strategy …7 found this helpful

I've had this game sitting in my library for about 10 years, and I finally decided to play it. I'm glad I did. It may be old, but it's a lot of fun to play. I ended up buying all 3 chapters because I enjoyed it so much. The scenarios are interesting to play, the characters are unique, and the humor is goofy. The jokes either made me smile or roll my eyes at the corniness. This game definitely does not take itself too seriously, and occasionally makes fun of itself. I found the normal difficulty level to be too easy, so I had to play everything on hard for the right challenge. The graphics may not be the latest and fanciest compared to the latest games out there, but they're certainly good enough. I did encounter a couple annoying bugs. There are a couple scenarios where critical units disappear when I saved the game and reloaded later, making it impossible to finish the level. This was solved by restarting the level, but it was a bummer to have to play it over again. I recommend finishing each level in one sitting, which generally takes no more than a couple hours. At the current price, this game is well worth the money, so there's little to lose in trying it out.1 found this helpful
if u dont mind it being cheesy or an old game its a good strategy game1 found this helpful
Oh, you're interested in buying this? Just don't. I normally give games a little longer to improve, but it was clearly going nowhere good. Play a free version of snake on your phone rather than this. Stare at a wall and analyse the paint instead.
