Runes of Brennos

Really kind of a cool game, the point is that you battle with other druids to take over territories. To do this you have duels in various locations which consiost of an alternating attack and defense phase. You draw shapes on the screen to represent runes which cause elemental type of damage, fire, water, wind, earth , and lighting respectively. During your attack phase you draw as many of these runes as possible while your opponent tries to draw a rune that counters your element. Essentially making combat a game of paper rock scissors. As you progress your rune shapes get more complicated and do more damage. Overall an enjoyable experience thats worth getting. Pros: Interesting settings and backdrops to the battles. Simple mechanics The tutorial is short and lets you dive right into battle. I had no bug issues at all. Cons: After conquering about 4 territories the difficulty goes way way up and I found myself struggling, if you have a good memory and decent reaction times then this wont be a con, but it was for me because I just wasnt fast enough to be good at this. Repetitive and feels like it needs more meat to it. Try it out if that sounds good!

The swipe mechanic completely ruined this for me, felt like it was trying to be a mobile game without actually being a port from a mobile game. Everything else about the game is too easy and simple to interest me so hard pass on this one!

[h1] Draw Magicka [/h1] The game is a mix of Magicka with an arena brawler with a hint of the first installments of Harry Potter, where we had to use the mouse to draw patterns that corresponded to a particular spell. Here it's similar - you land in the arena - in front of you is your opponent's turn, which lasts a few seconds - during this time you have to draw as many signs that will summon the appropriate spells - the opponent during this time can defend himself by countering our spells - fire countering water, etc. As time goes by, there are more and more spells, which makes the game very long, which may not be to everyone's liking.

Pros: 1. Secret rune combos 2. Good texture 3. Cheap game Cons: 1. Can't save progress well, each time after startup game dont save last defeated druid 2. You can use rune system in middle of battle and easy counter spells - game don't require much skill 3. Very very short champaign - for me it lasted about 50 minutes 4. You can just spam any spell and win fights easily 5. All spells can't be countered, if enemy cast spell in last second you don't have time to counter it 6. Spells need to be drawn accurately and you don't have enough time for some complicated combos Game is just "spell" system from my favorite game called "Arx Fatalis" For me 3/10

[h3]SNAPSHOT[/h3] An extremely limited and uninspired battle of attrition type game using mouse gestures [h3]OVERALL - 0.5 / 10[/h3] [h3]PROS[/h3] + I don't have to play this game anymore [h3]CONS[/h3] - terrible gesture detection - 3d art and animations for completely static gameplay - awful turn timers - lackluster... everything [h3]FULL REVIEW[/h3] This game is obviously meant for mobile devices, but thankfully I got this from a humble bundle instead of paying real money. The game is glitchy as hell and only has ~8 levels in it (all of which are just the same fight, only slightly more difficult). Seriously, unless you've never played any other games before this, avoid it and spend your precious time elsewhere.

They say that this game is still under development. Ive played 2-3 battles not so bad but also its nothing to be thrilled about. Some kind of FPS on moves. Its all about runes, magic and fat beardy characthers. Ive got it for free and thats the only way I recommend this game. I would never spend money on something like this. Only if they made it available as a android/iphone/wp8.1 port cuz it would be much better to see it on phones or tablets and play it on touchscreen.

Runes of Brennos may at first glance seem like a reskin of a rock- paper scizzors game. somewhere you would be right, but if you play the game all the way, you will see that it becomes something else, more complex pretty fast. it originally was made for the leap motion, but that piece of hardwear didnt really do it much justice. it is not the most intuitive to play on a computer but on a tablet i see little to no issue with this game at all. after a good few hours of playtime i'd say its worth a try, i myself had a lot of fun playing it.
