RayM.Oct 9, 2006Graphically done very well, I would say for fans/players of Mage Knight only as it is a little hard to understand otherwise. No multiplayer has really hurt this game. Even if it was on the same DS, it still would have been great.

#42 Most Discussed DS Game of 2006
|
-
Mage Knight DS is based on some good design ideas derived from an interesting tabletop wargame, but they're drowned out by a poor interface and weak presentation.
-
While the game succeeds as a conversion of a miniature gaming ruleset, it fails to take advantage of the potential available uniquely to the video game format. The lack of multiplayer in particular keeps Destiny's Soldier from rising in the ranks.
-
The crowning achievement of failure here, however, is the total lack of multiplayer. Skirmish would be nice, but no multiplayer in a DS version of an intrinsically multi-player tabletop game? Unforgivable.
