Ratings and reviews

I love the publisher. I enjoy every game 4 or more stars - Until this one. Extremely little story (90% of game is manipulating numbers), very little meaningful choices, the choices that do exist are pigeonholed, bad typos, and a major glitch that causes the game to get confused about whether I am raiding an enemy village or defending my own. Sadly disappointed. I would refund if I could.

I dont really know how to rate this one. As usual, i really like the mechanic and concept of micromanaging in this game. That all the plus point that i can get from this. The game itself are not hard to beat. The key is to analyzing and taking the risks. Other than that i found the game to be extremely a let down product. Seriously. The story? Very short and not sattisfying. MC? None customization at all. Plot? Very predictable toward climax and there barely memorable events before climax.

As always, I love these games. This one works better if you played the Great tournament 1 and 2. I believe the effort with this one was focused on the multiple choices right from the character creation stage. This one and the mercenary one give the moat control over the character you play. I wish this one had been longer though. More variety in choices and outcomes usually means a shorter game in this genre, but I would have liked this one to be on par with The Great Tournament 1.
