Individual turns and full missions both take too long yet choices are severely limited. The learning curve isn't steep, but some of the later levels need to be executed perfectly with metagame knowledge standing as the only reason you could win: in other words, this is a game where you will waste an hour on a mission, only to have to redo it, and this will happen several times. I don't recommend buying this, I was very lucky to get it part of a Humble Bundle. Crashes, unfulfilling gameplay, a complete lack of multiplayer / level editor, and a flat story will prevent me from finishing this game that I have owned for years now.

Story is cliche, and text certainly has its share of spelling errors, but it seemed simple to play and a fun way to pass time. Art is decent (kind of like Warcraft, cartoonish), and relatively easy to figure out. A manual would have been nice, but most nowadays don't provide more than the basics anyway, certainly little in the way of tactics or strategy. Didn't find a manual for this game, but didn't find one, just tutorials. A couple other points: Your units gain experience and level up...but that doesn't seem to carry over from one battle to another (you have to start from scratch each battle). Also, in the later battles you're able to choose some of the units you can bring in with you, but your choice is quite limited. For example, in some battles you get longbowmen, but others only crossbowmen. Or if you get longbowmen, you can only take two perhaps. I'm guessing this is the way the game designers ensure the game stayed balanced. Anyway, spent a fair amount of time this weekend playing the game, but am now going to uninstall: the game has crashed three times in the past few hours, not only freezing up the game itself but forcing me to log out in order to be able to do anything in windows. This is ridiculous: It's one thing to have bugs that cause your software to freeze or crash, but another thing entirely to force me to log out of windows to fix. Those kind of errors belong in the '90s, not now. I was finally able to shut down the game using task manager and the keyboard, mouse was not functional until I shut it down. So, if you don't have any problems running the game, great. Still nothing that really stands out. With bugs it just makes it another piece of shelfware.

The ONLY reason to get this game is Skirmish mode (since, by all accounts, campaign mode is impossible). Hoo boy. You set a custom level in which both sides are supposed to have even forces (because the default is that the A.I. has about 110% of your starting points). The game frequently doesn't give you a force mix in which you can use your full army point allotment; you wind up with 15-20 points left over, meaning that the A.I. still gets that 10% bonus. The units you're allowed to pick tend to be the weakest in the game while the A.I. winds up with numerous units which can immobilize and attack your units from a distance. It's like playing a WWII game in which your best weapon is a bayonet and the A.I. is armed with Panzer Vs. (You also need to factor in that you're handicapped by "fog of war" but the A.I. always knows EXACTLY where your troops are located and acts accordingly). Even if you manage to destroy the A.I.'s entire army, there'll be some far-flung objective square (often in a corner behind difficult or impassible terrain) that you failed to capture, so the game scores the result as a failed mission. The graphics, however, are very nice. The game's beautiful. So was my ex-wife and, like this game, she was also an unbalanced pain in the ass who wasn't worth $29.99. Save yourself some aggro and give this game a pass. It would be more fun to just try bashing your pinky with a claw hammer instead. It's cheaper and you at least have a CHANCE to win by yanking your hand away in the nick of time.

Game is abandoned. Other than that. My mistake for not doing the research. I was really looking for an Armies of Gielinor kind of experience, and this game did not deliver. At all. After the tutorial the first level in which you're put, seems practically ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible. Also there's a turn limit, so setting up a fight how you please is not possible. Concept is there, but was poorly exectued. DO NOT BUY. edit; I know what the requirements are for a refund, but I forgot to refund just over the 1 week limit period, and no refund was given.
