Very cool old school turn based strategy game. Build your armies and take over enemy castles, while being careful to protect your territory. There's a dizzying array of unique units per faction and procedural generated maps to keep replayability high. Very cool art design and the music slaps. In-game encyclopedia is very detailed if you get lost. Developer is actively involved with the gaming community and responds to bugs and suggestions quickly. Give it a try!
What a blast from the past! Growing up, I only had access to a Macintosh computer to play computer games. Back in the day, only like 0.1% of the games that came out were compatible on the Mac. One of those was the Warlords series – a point and click turn based game that engulfed my childhood. When I heard about Telestians revisiting the spirit of that game I was reminded of the fun I had. Playing through the tutorial, I picked things up quickly and there was a good flow turn to turn. The enemy AI was competitive but not too ridiculous. I could only imagine how crazy things could get if there was more than one. But I didn’t wait too long, I started up a real game with multiple AI and it got hectic but I knew I could persevere… and of course I did! In a world constantly churning out new games, I’m glad there are creators returning to the classics. The art has its own unique flair and the music fits in nicely. There is a lot to unpack but the in game guide has everything you need to know. I will be playing this for the foreseeable future.

This game is so good i wanna jump and play there myself. (best pixel artist ever)
A very, very fun game. All the faction very different. The UI very easy to use (a huge improvement over Warlords III). The random maps are gorgeous and so immersive, incredible job done by the Dev on the random maps. This is the kind of game you can play for 15 minutes as it is easy enough to pick up from where you left off. But equally you could find yourself putting several hours into a game. The is a great tactical/strategic game for any armchair general out there.
Telestians is a game with a detailed world and carefully thought out factions. The nine factions, from Barbarians to Gadiantons, each have their own character and image that makes them unique in the game. The versatility and customization of *how* you make the world your own, the difficulty that world entails and how you will conquer the land leaves vast possibilities. At the end of the day, Telestians resembles a timeless classic with a mode of gameplay that never goes out of style.
Been playing this game for a little while now and let me just say if your into those old school turn based strategy games you will absolutely love this! The mechanics are super smooth and fun to use once you get a hang of things but they're relatively simple to learn, the game play itself is really fun and can keep you occupied for a while but you do need to keep your smart brain active so if your planning on playing this whilst your wasted then that's when you'll start to struggle lol, Overall I'd give this game a 8-9/10 bonus points for the huge nostalgia which many others will have when playing this. Looking forward to see what else the Devs have in store for this game!
Basically a Warlords remake. In development, the author is very responsive and plans to support the game with essential features into the future. -Gameplay: Warlords. Build units, stack 'em, and send 'em over. -Art: Icons are old school but very good. No need for 3D here! The Frank Frazetta style unit portraits are great and a breath of fresh air nowadays. -Includes a map editor and will include map sharing in a future update. -Random map generator is okay, hopefully will improve. -AI is challenging to play against. Easy mode is no pushover.
If you are an old fart like me, and have ever played warlords on the amiga. this is a revived version with quests and allies and so, so much one more turn it's silly.
Pretty old-fashioned turn based strategy, liked it!
Great old school turn based fantasy war game!
