The Eternal Battlefields

I don't think this is the worst game I've ever played and I wouldn't pay too much attention to this review in a couple of months if the dev keeps working on it. I also think it's odd that no-one appears to have tried this title. It's not THAT bad. That said, it didn't grab me personally and I think what is here is overpriced. It's worth something like $5. The combat here is turn based, similar to Master of Magic or Age of Wonders if you've ever played those. You move the units one square at a time. You've got 2 ranks of 4 that you have to fill up with units, and then you engage 8 enemy units in battle. You start right up against each other, no maneuvering. I don't know, there's a variety of units - horse archer, cavalry, infantry, an offensive spell class, and archers, but you don't get a lot of sense of contrast between them. Cavalry can only move one square just like infantry. You charge down a group of spellcasters in the enemy back row and you take as many casualties as they do. You also can't pick what units you have. You start with 2 infantry, a cavalry, I think 3 horse archers, 2 archers and 'witches', who are your casters. There's also a 'spy' in reserve. But with that …

Ok, the game is a bit different from what you have probably expected - it is not Diablo 2, Civilization 3, Sims4 or NFS5. And it is not even trying to be... The developer has played games since I know him (more than 20 years ago) and has finally decided to create his own idea of a game into production. Yes, the graphics and the UI looks a bit "wooden", but the gameplay compensates for that. GIve it a chance, you might like it (if not, Steam accepts returns, so no big deal).
