[h3] Достойный представитель викингского фольклора. [/h3] Хотя практически все, кому я предлагал сюда залететь, отказывались в связи с неоднозначной графической составляющей проекта, ибо этот фактор играет здесь ключевую негативную роль, будь она чуть поприятнее - это был бы чуть-ли не идеальный представитель жанра. Тем не менее многие всё же изменяли мнение после того, как я приглашал в партию через Remote Play, но вопросы к графике и дизайну оставались. Да, не исключаю, это слабая сторона данной разработки. Однако! Чего не отнять - тут имеется огромная вариативность различных правил для игры, даже о которых я сам никогда не догадывался. Как вы понимаете, в Хнефитафу можно играть по-разному, здесь это понимают и не ставят во главу угла какие-то конкретные правила. И это большой плюс, даже можно настроить свои правила. Еще, что примечательно, видны предыдущие ходы, который можно отмотать для просмотра хода противника. Это база, но её зачастую не хватает в альтернативах.
This game the most fun I can find these days (coming from an experienced hobby chess player). Different rules and game types are available for the ancient Hnefatafl game that was played in the viking area before the advent of chess. Hnefatafl is an unbalanced game where the strategy for each side is very different. One side plays the defender and must escape with the king while the attackers rush to capture him. Because of this unbalance in the rules the computers are still no match for decent human players. Try for example the mode legacy berserk and you will find yourself at the top of the food chain in no time. The number of possible moves to play increases faster than in e.g. chess and go, making it hard to calculate and predict far ahead, especially for the larger boards. Because of this complexity and the unbalance in the rules it will take time for the computers to play well leaving the arena for us humans to compete using intuition to guide us. Maybe you have what it takes to come up with a new way to play and beat the current top ranked players? This game's community is also very welcoming to new players and a lot of fun can be found in the discord forums. Regarding the game itself the developer is quick to add new features if you come up with suggestions on how to make the game even more fun. I hope to see you on the playing fields soon. Cheers, Rollo
Tafl? Check. Good community? Check. Amazing developer? Super-check. A learning curve that is more like a slope to mt. Everest? Absolutely-check. Honestly, what more could one ask for?
Leicht zu lernen. schwer zu meistern. Der Oft gehörte Begriff des "Wikinger-Schach" ist nicht ganz richtig. Viel mehr stehen sich hier Spieler unterschiedlicher Stärke gegenüber die beide ein eigenes Ziel verfolgen. Schwarz ist in der stärkeren Position und versucht den Weißen König zu fangen und dementsprechend versucht dieser zu entkommen. Das schone an dieser Variante von Hnefatafl ist, dass es unterschiedliche Varianten die von Haus aus mitliefert und auch die Möglichkeit liefert eine ganz eigene mit den Bekanten Regel- Spielfeldvarianten zu erstellen. Es gibt die Möglichkeit mit zufälligen Fremden zu spielen und mit diesem in einem Chat zu unterhalten, genauso wie gegen eine weitgehend kompetente KI oder Freunden Online / Couch Coop. Es ist eine im ganzen sehr gelungene PC-Umsetzung eines Brettspieles. Grafisch in 2D gehalten und übersichtlich. Nette Details hier und da aber insgesamt mehr Zweckmäßig als Herausragend.
This appears to offer everything you need if you are interested in this ancient game, including all the main variants, the ability to customise the game and rules and create your own variants. online play, synchronization with with the mobile phone version, decent graphics and interface, graphical mods, and great developers who listen to feedback and strive to keep improving the game. I suggested an interface/display change to make the game look better on my monitor and screen resolution, and with a day or two an update was released with the idea implemented. Fantastic! I would recommend having a look at the graphical mods in the workshop as they add some tasteful graphical options to suit your taste. I haven't been playing the game long enough to comment on the AI performance, although I suspect once I've mastered the basics I will instead look into playing online anyway. Great game, and well worth the money.
The best app to play Hnefatafl on. Relatively large, active playerbase ranging from beginners to masters. Offers a wide selection of old and new variants, and also enables users to create their own variants. Both quick games (meant to be completed in one sitting) and correspondence games (meant to be played over the course of several days or weeks) are supported. Very user-friendly, and overall a great experience.
Liebevoll gemachte, super [b]charmante Umsetzung[/b] des Klassikers die keine Wünsche offen lässt - ohne jedoch das Spiel mit unnötigem Beiwerk zu überfrachten. Tafl in allen erdenklichen (aber gut dokumentierten) Spielvarianten, zum Üben gegen verschiedene KI Gegner bzw. offene/gewertete Partien gegen menschliche Spieler. [b]Figurensets und Board-Grafiken[/b] anpassbar, [b]Musik[/b] unaufdringlich und thematisch passend. Absolut [b]vorbildlich[/b], weiter so! Edit: nominated for Steam-Awards :-)
Excelente juego de la época Vikinga, fue de los más populares hasta la aparición del ajedrez, que históricamente lo fue desplazando, pero por suerte sobrevivió hasta nuestros tiempos y hoy en día podemos disfrutarlo. Es un buen juego de estrategia, fácil de aprender y divertido! La interfaz es bastante buena, los gráficos y la música son muy amenos. Me gusta el hecho de que lo actualicen constantemente mejorando y agregando nuevas cosas. Además posee un modo multijugador... animo a todos a que lo prueben y le den una oportunidad, por el precio que tiene está más que justificada su compra y en mi opinión es un juego que vale la pena.
Used to play on Android. The UI has had a great overhaul. The ability to link with you mobile and play on the move is a great feature for online play. Can't recommend enough. If you enjoy the Tafl family of games you will love this. Most complete and well put together game out.
Тавлії для кожного. Хоча візуял трохи авутдейтед, але є можливість створити власні правила й поле. Є україньска. Се не шахи вікінґів, як пишут про се.
