Godking: Master of Rituals

I love that fact that this is one of those simple to learn but still strategic games. Super fun. Nice job, dear Fun Wizards.

Man this is a great game! I have always been a fan of Conquest of Elysium 4..the concept, but not the graphics nor its UI. Godking: Master of Rituals is very similar in concept to CoE4 but with much better graphics and and a modern easy to use interface. And because of Godking's streamlined UI, Godking is much easier and way more enjoyable to play than CoE4. Godking is still in EA but it is fleshed out with a lot of content. It is an indie game but has Triple-A quality. I found no bugs at all. It is as stable as a finished product. The only thing that is missing are battle sound effects but they are coming. The game encyclopedia is comprehensive. Everything is explained. There is no tutorial but after watching a few excellent youtube videos by Sabouts I understood how to play: Godking is deep but because of its excellent UI, it's very easy to play, and easy to understand everything.

THIS WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT. Sorta looked like Heroes meets 4x. And me and my chic love to get down on some old school might and magic 3. this seemed like a cool new alternate. this is literally card stack building on a simple map. there is almost nothing to it. no control over units in battle outside of however you arranged your card stack prior to movement/turn. if stack is large then the battle may end mid fight...so steam rolling is funky bc evidently theres a time limit per battle (no timer was visible/available to my knowledge). not much depth in regards to options for play. take this with a grain of salt bc: i also feel my position is a bit skewed bc of what i may have been anticipating HOWEVER my expectations came from their advertising so.... uninstalled after a few faction run-thrus. if you like strategic card stacking on a board with simple features and a casual 4x feel then this is a game for you.

It’s a fun strategy game, more along the line of resource management and watching the ai movements carefully so you can take holds without problem at the moment. My favorite part was able to summon units into battle and not really having a cap. Least in my experience so far since I last played. lol If the creators keep up with communication from the community around them, taking into thoughts and ideas they have, I believe it will turn out to be a good experience for a lot of people who are interested in this sorta game. Also keep in mind it will take time for the creators to put in all the minor details the game needs fleshed out, such as sound effects in combat and unit details to make them unique or at least enough to tell them apart lol.

The fun part of this game is that it has 6 very distinct factions with unique and interesting units that have various features and abilities, and the battle graphics are good so you can see how your selected units play out against the opposing units. There is no unit control during the battle nor of pre-battle formations -- in other words, the computer decides for you how the units in your stack will line up and fight the opposing units. This is an Early Access game, and the developers are still very actively working on the game. The AI is poor and insufficiently aggressive on the world map. Thus far your only setup choices are (i) which faction you will play, (ii) which of 7 godkings will lead your faction (and really there is only one godking suited for any given faction, plus one uber-godking dragon usable by any faction) and (iii) size of map. You always fight the other 5 factions. Hopefully this will all be improved before final release.

概念可以，就是一个经营奇幻军队战斗的游戏，战斗过程全自动。 但是缺点也十分明显，也是很多类似游戏无法克服的问题，战斗过程十分无聊，玩家没有任何操控，没有任何反馈。 因为这类游戏大部分都有一个选项，速度，我看到这个游戏最高可以选择x16，就是16倍速播放战斗过程，我心想，你怎么不干脆做个快速战斗，一路点过去就完事了，反正过程没有操作，玩家只想知道结果。这类游戏为什么在手游行得通，因为手游利用了碎片时间，和玩家用手机特性，屏幕小，没什么操作空间，自动战斗可以只手操作，甚至丢在一边干别的事去。 但是你作为一个PC端游戏，把这个游戏内容抄过来还是不够的，虽然这个游戏披上了4X的策略游戏外衣，但是如果只是为了玩经营战略，我有更多的选择，为啥要玩你这个半成品呢？之前也玩过一个类似的游戏，2D的，steam上也有，也是配置一堆军队，自动战斗。 我能给的唯一建议就是，开发者多考虑一下，怎么让游戏的战斗内容更有趣，而不是逼迫玩家选择16倍速观看无聊的战斗过程。

this game have allot of potential to be great. the developers are verry active in theyer discord and love feedback. I am personally really looking forward to where this game will be going and can recomend it to anyone that like this type of gameplay.

if you want to play a game like this, go play conquest of elysium of age of wonders.
