Last Regiment

The developer just revoked my press key despite prior coverage without any sort of communication. Shady behavior and buyer beware.

[h1][b]4/10[/b][/h1] Combat plays out as: Move unit(s), end turn, end turn, end turn, end turn. It's not very tactical and not very fun. Later, you get to add "use ability" in there before ending the turn 5 times. Wowie. Oh and there's a delay between each turn with no way to speed it up. TL;DR: 90% of the game is just hitting "End Turn" over and over and over... [h2]Pros:[/h2] - Music and sound design are quite good - I like the graphics, overall. They're colorful and fun, yet not over-the-top [h2]Mehs:[/h2] - Really needs a narrator at least. AI voices can be quite good now, so that would be an option here over silence [h2]Cons:[/h2] - No font or UI options and much of it is extremely tiny. Why are so many buttons so tiny? Who are they trying to keep from clicking these things?? - Combat is extremely tedious because it takes many turns to kill anything, but you're not able to do anything during that time except End Turn over and over - While I mostly like the graphics, the art design is just a rip off of Warcraft

Don't be fooled by the lameness of the tutorial. This game transitions into a VERY fun, VERY interesting game that will scratch your power point control itch. The only complaints I really have are that there's a few bugs, some unexplained ways in which some skills do or don't work in certain situations, and it will crash on the very rare occasion. I've never actually lost any progress from a crash though, as it only ever seems to happen after you confirm the deck you've built. In those cases, it always takes you back to the very last move of your last mission, so you just click confirm, and you're right back at the deck builder. Overall, I got this on heavy sale, and it was MORE than worth the money.

This game is criminally underrated. It's very good, with tons of lore, a decent AI, good combat system and overall game mechanics. I really enjoyed it.

Love this game! Simple but not simplistic! Very nuanced as there are many options to explore in the campaign. A short learning curve and then it is one grueling battle after the next. I spent my whole day playing this one from 3am until 4pm today. Finally it exhausted me but I loved it!

Good points: fun, simple, yet deep little turn based strategy game. Intuitive enough, but takes advantage of being on a computer to allow some level of simultaneous movement etc. Lore is semi-complex and well-realized without being too alien (it's basically the modern discovery of the New World, but more complicated and with goblins). Downside: lore is complex, writing can be a little stilted, and it crashes like a cymbal. Seriously, this game has the stability of a Jenga stack where all the blocks are vertical. I'm seventeen hours in and have had a double digit number of crashes to desktop. Fortunately, it loads extremely quickly and the autosave works well, so it's quick to bounce back from them. But at the same time the simplicity of the game makes me wonder how it can still be so unstable all this way into its lifespan.
