Post Human W.A.R

Post Human W.A.R requires you to sign in on the start up page, either to your Steam account even though I was already freakin' signed in or a Post Human W.A.R account! It's ridiculous and too much work to play a single player campaign. Not recommended!

I'm not usually into turn based games but picked this up as it was on offer and liked the artwork. I really enjoy this game. Its simple but still has tactical depth and even if a battle seems lost you can still turn it around by changing tactics. Its a shame there are very few people playing this online. The game deserve some more love. Quick tactical games with quirky characters to choose from and for what its worth it has enough variety to keep things interesting. It does have 3 campaigns and can play with a friend on the same computer and take turns to keep the game alive if there's no one online at the time. as well as versing the AI One thing I really like about this game is the fact you can choose your units based on the funds at the start of the round and battle each others 'armies' rather than a party or small group. I haven't found this in any other turn-based game along with such charming graphics.

A quite fun and well-themed hex-based strat game with a neat twist: hidden commanders. The hidden commander system does add a meaningful twist on the usual formulae, and from what I've played each faction feels reasonably different and has a decent selection of units to use. Its a bit of a shame this game was designed with multiplayer in mind, rather than singleplayer. There is a tutorial and smallish campaign, but focus was more on human vs human than human vs CPU. Asides from a mostly dead multiplayer scene, there's a mix of good and bad VA for the units, and a lot of misspellings in the text. It goes on sale most season-sales for a fair bit, I'd get it then. I'd honestly like to see a sequel, as there is a nugget of gold in this game.

If this could be a meh review, it would be. Game starts with a massive exposition dump. The overall gameplay and game design is very interesting with some fun units and strategy, but the visuals, controls and simplicity of the game's basics are a little bit too complicated for this kind of game. Still a very decent game overall.

This is kind of a hard game to give the thumbs down to. I do like the world they created, and the storyline they've attached to their campaign is pretty funny. The point system for building the armies for each skirmish is a mechanic I really like in tactical games. But... It never really seems to force the player to change their strategy based on the challenge. It looks like an A-symmetrical tactical game, but the different teams are just re-skins of the same units. The environment isn't varied or important enough to affect tactical decisions. There is no progression opening up new options as the levels continue. I just found a strategy that seemed to work and kept spamming it. The storyline was good, but not good enough to entice me to play through the same battle over and over again. To be fair, I think the creators might have been more focused on creating a good multiplayer game rather than a singleplayer experience. I can see how a lot of the mechanics would really shine in that setting, but I don't like playing with randos online, so I can't really speak to that.
