The good:
- dunno, it's TBS? I really can't think of anything good here
The so-so:
- it costs just $1 or so, but frankly even that is too much. It must be free. And even as a free game, it would need tons of work before it would be worth a download
The bad:
- no tutorial. The only in-game help is a 1-page txt file vaguely describing the controls. Apparently you get 4 soldiers whom you equip in the shop and then jump right into the first battle without any explanations. Ok, I bought plate armor for everyone and a long bow, and a polearm for 1 guy. For some reason all 4 of my soldiers were missing 95% of the time with their bows. WTF? After a long and boring fight I lost the first battle, and refunded.
- the English texts are horrendous. Most likely they were just Google-translated from Russian.
- poor graphics, even worse than in the originial, 2006 version of Battle for Wesnoth. The graphics would do ok for Java phone games back in the early 2000s though
- clumsy GUI
