Very well optimised and interesting dynamics between the heroes. I got this for free on epic but I would have paid for it had I missed the deadline. I have to say I really don't understand why people are marking this game down for no other reason that it was released first on the epic store rather than on steam. You got a free game for gawds sake, If somebody offered you a free car would you complain because it wasn't offered by your usual car showroom?
   
   I hope the saga franchise continues in this direction!… Expand

Not to mention that it's in a time period very few games (and media as a whole) are brave enough to be in. So far loving every minute of it and I'm being positively surprised at every corner.… Expand

It runs great, looks good and to me, combines the best elements in the series. I do wish they had gone full mythological with the special units and abilities, but that's a small gripe in the scheme of things.
   
   The diplomacy is good and important. I like the resources as it gives varying importance to the difference provinces. The balance between the units feels good and the AI actually gives some fight.
   
   The heroes feel better balanced than 3K. They aren't game-winning but they are important units that can turn a close fight.
   
   If you don't care about the strategic layer, and just care about fights, Warhammer is probably a better bet. It has more unit variety. If you really like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then that one is an obvious pick, and you will probably prefer that to this. But as someone who didn't like 3k that much bc I don't know the lore (and the game doesn't help you in that regard), this game is a nice midpoint.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have all the Total war games and play them a ton. I have loved each one for its uniqueness and take on different points in history and mythical stories. This is the first game I am on the fence with so far. I love the battles and units. I hate that they brought back agents and then gave them high upkeep costs. The agents can literally stop you from doing anything and the AI spams them. Agents were the worst part of Rome II and should be nerfed or some of them removed. Also, the upkeep of units in general is ridiculous. I have 25 settlements at max capacity producing and and can't even field 3 armies with a mix of good and bad units. My lands are spread but I can't even defend one side without the complete opposite being attacked and yet I can't do anything to defend because I can't have a decent amount of units fielded. Please work on this. It is also a slow game play as it takes a long time to get things going. By lowering upkeep of units I feel you could speed things up somewhat. I love some of the mechanics of the game. (specifically, that you can compete with an allied faction ex. Prince and Hector vying for their fathers love and ultimately becoming heir of Troy). I think with updates this game can get to a great point. I don't care that it is on the epic game store or steam just as long as modding is added in the future, if not then I'll end up buying it on steam when it comes out because that helps do things that the developers can't always do.… Expand

   Il y a quasiment aucune nouveauté sur la gestion, c'est du déjà vu.
   
   Pour ce qui est de la diplomatie, on a ce qui était prévu sur 3 Kingdoms avec une IA moins bêtes bien que ce dernier point pûisse être discutable.
   
   Pour ce qui est censé être le cœur du jeu : les Batailles. On a un remake de 3 Kingdoms mais en Grèce. Les héros sont surpuissants avec des capacités qui relèvent plus de la magie qu'autre chose.
   Même si on a des unités visuellement différentes selon le camps qu'on choisit, on a les mêmes capacités "spéciales" pour les unités et le ressentie est plus proche d'un Total Wars arena que d'un bon vieux Rome 2 ou Attila qui avaient le défaut d'avoir des batailles trop longues.
   
   Puisque c'est un prototype des futurs total war je sais à quoi m'attendre et ça m'évitera de gaspiller mon argent.… Expand

The greatestTried it for about an hour, but it shows almost straight away that in many regards this game is a step down from previous titles. The greatest let down is the battles. Physics in battles are way off, soldiers in units hardly interact with each other when in battle (soldier swings sword and 3 meter in front of him someone just falls down), arrows seem unimpactful and only appear as white lines, equipment gives only mediocre bonuses, abilities feel insignificant.… Expand
