    SCORE: 6.8/10

    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    SCORE: 6.8/10

    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

    Cool mix of strategy and RPG. Fun, challenging with lots of hidden depth that slowly unfolds as we advance in the game. Has the "one more turn" effect.

    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.

    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.
