    Exiled from their homeland and faced against overwhelming odds of defeat, players in Highlands are tasked to build an army and retake what is rightfully theirs from a group of mysterious overlords and their mechanical army. These noble leaders will manage key aspects of their army and population including food, weapons, recruits and other resources to get stronger and advance in the game.

    As they march on, they will unlock new territories and production areas where individual characters will be able to use their skills to strengthen their position. Choose wisely on which sectors to conquer and relinquish to the enemy in order to push new frontlines and find your way back to power.    … Expand

    The art is some of the prettiest I have seen in a game in a long time. It might not be the most innovative game out there, but given it comes from a small indie team, it does achieve what it sets out to do admirably.

    If you’ve ever wanted to send a wide-eyed Disney princess and her siblings into battle against the forces of darkness, miles above the original home of man, you really should give it a spin.

    Extremely simple, but engaging and pleasant strategy game with hand-drawn art. There are some issues and interface could be less clunky, but Highlands is simply a good game.

    I was a Kickstarter backer and I'm ok with this one, but definitely not thrilled.

    Art is gorgeous and the basics are solid. I think there will be people that will enjoy it, but it just didn't hit that chord for me.

    I didn't enjoy the combat overly much, but it had its moments. I definitely didn't like the spawning of units every turn, making them get absolutely out of control.

    If you like strategy games and it goes on sale for five bucks, that's a good value.    … Expand
