Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion

I'm surprised to see the reviews are so mixed for this game; I first played it on iOS years ago and liked it so much that I bought it just to replay it all on PC (and play the Epilogue!). It seems that some people expected more to the game than a series of battles with a storyline - there isn't, but I think the game on its own deserves a lot of respect. For a tactical game that involves so many unique mechanics - formations/flanking, standing orders/command points, turn order, nuanced unit abilities, etc. - it's balanced surprisingly well. The RNG that's incorporated in the combat initially frustrated me, but in hindsight, the RNG somewhat captures the randomness of "actual" battle, and helps ensure that no two iterations of the same battle are the exact same. Whether you're lucky or not, you can always adapt tactically to win (although some luck goes a long way for some of the 3-medal achievements). There's only a couple things that I thought were iffy - firstly, there were a couple units that felt a little unbalanced (even though, according to the lore, they're supposed to be powerful). And secondly, there were a number of episodes which relied on spontaneous events mid-combat. While they helped illustrate the story, they were sometimes hard to adjust to mid-game, and once you knew what was going to happen, it was easy to win/achieve 3 medals by repeating the level. These events made for good story devices, but it felt a tad overused. Other than that, I very much enjoyed the design, the art, and the music. It has a medieval/fantasy theme to it, and all the character designs/dialogue are based on such. The story is quite somber and takes itself seriously. I also really enjoyed familiarizing myself with the diverse range of units, and replaying certain levels just to see if I could've approached something differently. I'll always remember this game fondly!

BOnitos graficos, arte cuidado y uun gameplay correcto con algunas cosas nuevas

A fair attempt to try and make a tactical turn-based game. But a convoluted and oftentimes confusing story coupled with repetitiveness and a fairly frustrating system makes this ultimately a pass.

I used to play this a lot on my iPhone 4S back in 201X. Now the game studio has closed and I can't import my save files from the developer's account.

It does feel it was made as a mobile game and then ported to PC. It is quite simplistic wargame and has a lot of competition on PC. 5/10, it works but is not great.

Very good turn-based, tactics RPG utilizing such things as morale, facing, range, and unit type to create often very challenging scenarios through a intersting (albeit somewhat unoriginal) storyline campaign. Set in a medieval-type world, you are a low-born thrust into the ranks of the Ravens, the military elite. Graphics are hand-drawn character text interactions with no voice over. Sound is basic but perfectly acceptable.

good game, i which there was a sequel i remember playing this game on my tablet.

Hard but rewarding. Great story, Witching Hour put out some very engaging games in their heyday. If you like turn-based strategy, you should definitely try this!
