Players will have to use their wits and each race's special abilities to bring defeat to the forces of darkness plaguing the lands in the thirty-two mission campaign. The game doesn't end with Evil's defeat though, as a built-in matchmaking service allows infinite replayability by giving players the chance to play against live opponents around the globe.

    A niche title geared towards fans of fantasy themed turn-based strategy games looking for something light and fun.

    The game is simple, fun, and safe for the whole family. It may not be game of the year, but it certainly is worth a look from strategy buffs.

    Toss out the antiquated graphics and sound and look at the bare bones of the game and you will find a challenging turn-based title that has strong tactical elements.

    Any lover of strategy knows graphics has little to do with gameplay. The two greatest strategy games of all time, Go and Chess, have pieces Any lover of strategy knows graphics has little to do with gameplay. The two greatest strategy games of all time, Go and Chess, have pieces that are merely symbolic. Grpahically this game is simple, but strategically it's magical. If you love advance wars, try this for a fantasy themed similar experience. I played all 10 levels in the demo in one saturday nonstop, was hooked from the very first one.… Expand
