A good idea ruined by a not so good engine
The idea of the game is simple, control one of two armies, the humans, or the orcs. I personally didn't read the story, but from the looks of it the developer took some time in developing the story before each level.
Unfortunatly this is as far as the game goes before going 'sour.' As soon as the game started up I was treated to some mediocre graphics and some pretty bad controls, requiring you to press combinations of shift and q to make formations and store groups of units. Seeing as this is a very strategic game the fact that the feature was included is very helpful, but ver badly executed.
So after I finished the tutorial I moved onto the actual gameplay. When I had first began I noticed that the engine was very similar to that of Age of Empires and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, incridble RTS games for the PC. Unfortunatly the game starts you off with only 5 units, and no way to prduce more. This may be fine on the hard difficulties, but not easy mode. To make matters worst the enemies were all clumped together, and had double the stats of my own players. That means double the strength and double the health, and double the defence. I had left one of my units at the castle in case any enemy units attempted to attack while I was gone. Within seconds my small task force of 4 was defeated, without killing a single enemy. Now I'm screwed over because there are still 10 enemies, and none are even close to death. and what do I have to blame? The A.I.
The A.I. was horrendous, to say the least. If any allies are already attackign a unit they will immediatly go into a "neutural" mode per say in which they do absolutly nothing. Where as the engines this game was inspired by had A.I. options including defend yourself, persue to the death, and self-defence only, this game made A.I. just stand there, and since the game is all about controlling an army, this meant you had to pick units one by one to attack one by one, least they interrupt the entire task force. Disgusting to say the least.
The game takes away all control from the player by letting the A.I. take over and neglect the orders of the player, and then deciding to just stay there, allowing themselves to be slaughtered. There is no strategy or skill that could possibly be used to redeem yourself and defeat the enemy armies, resulting in quick deaths and no way to reproduce soilders.
