Timbertales

I've won this game through Steamgifts. Well I really have mixed feeling towards this title. The basic concept is somewhat nice, animals fighting each other using combos, and they have a bunch of stats that make them differ each other. Sadly although backed with kickstarter this game fails, it feels unfinished, feels like mobile port, and is still a bit bugged. The Sylvan campaign is interesting as it contains different goals, however additional goals feels unbalanced, some are really easy, why others looks completely impossible. Unfortunately that campaign is also short, for one evening only, We never got a vermin campaign. The game hung (on Linux!) once at the end, also once unit stayed on map visually, although got killed. The challenge mode, contains three modes, but only one is available, a series of 3-4 arenas that come at random where difficulty rises with each playthrough, until player fails and get rewards, to make it more interesting this mode for some strange reason request being online, once steam logs out due web activity, or while switching to offline mode this mode becomes unavailable. I never tested the multiplayer though, maybe it is fun. The deciding point was the…

Can't complete the game due to server issues in a single player game... Apart from that, combat isn't exciting due to a lack of unit choices and tactical options. Useless "feature": Setting your home base at the start of each small map (doesn't grant any bonus, possible spawning points are all next to each other) Sprites are cute and the Factions (Mammals vs Insects) is a neat idea but that's not enough imho.

[b]tl;dr:[/b]A short turn-based strategy game in which cute mammals and birds duke it out against slightly less cute insects. The game has a short story mode, challenges as well as a multiplayer mode. Graphic wise, there is nothing to write home about, but the animals are without a doubt cute. Moving a bunch of badgers and squirrels around is way more fun to me than it should be ;) Audio is serviceable, but lacking in variety. The combat of the game is simplistic, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. This is definitely a game I would recommend for the younger ones, or those trying to get started with turn-based strategy games. The multiplayer mode was a mistake. The whole game concept is too simple and the scope too limited to really speak to the (extremely small to begin with) crowd of turn-based multiplayer players. Therefore adding all this online functionality seems like a totally wrong feature to spend dev time on, time that could have been spent on another campaign or different challenges. All in all, I wish there was more to the game, especially more story content. However, for the low price, I can definitely recommend it, You'll certainly get some hours of peacu…

Timbertales s is a crowdfunded 2D turn based strategy game, but instead of fantasy armies fighting each other, or even WW1/WW2 armies, it's mammals and birds vs. insects because apparently that's what people wanted so badly that they crowdfunded it. The result is, well, a very mediocre TBS. The graphics are kind of okay, but not really what I'd call "Good". Gameplay is average, while there's a variety of different "units", the overall gameplay is very basic and uninteresting. People who want a good turn based strategy should think about Heroes of Might and Magic, or even a Paradox military strategy game. This one just isn't nearly as good as those, and the $14.50 price tag is just ludicrous.

Too many bugs, I encounter crash and freeze for about 5 times during my 30 minutes playing. And I have to connect to the slow server even if I only play single player adventure... I cannot recomment this game.
