    While obviously inspired by other games, Warrior Kings is an amazing experience all its own.

    One of the nicest things about Warrior Kings is the Camera control.
  3. All Game Guide

    Definitely a title worth looking into for newcomers to the genre, since the learning curve is fairly small, while veteran RTS gamers will find quality gameplay with an emphasis on strategy.
  4. GameSpot

    Since there's no skirmish option available for playing the core strategic game against the computer, the game's appeal is a lot more limited than it might have been.
  5. ActionTrip

    In some missions the dreadful AI causes enemy units to simply refuse fighting - basically, they'll just be sitting and waiting for your archers to kick their butt. Now, that's really sad.
  6. Gamers' Temple
    70
    An ambitious game that falls a bit short on execution, Warrior Kings is not suited to casual gamers but RTS veterans may find it intriguing.
  7. Adrenaline Vault
    50
    Contains several interesting elements from the RTS genre, but gets bogged down by graphical issues, a weak AI, and a lack of gameplay features that come standard in other products.

This game got me into the world of strategy. The story follow the fictional character artos whose father has been killed. You have to travel across fictional version of Europe and Asia. The game has a good battle knowledge where different units are better against certain other ones. The game is for some reason not played by much people but it certainly deserve to be played if your a strategy player.… Expand

Picked this up from steam for a very low price, and it's a real steal. Graphically very dated and occasional slowdown but on the upside there's just so much to do here. A long campaign, lots of different cultures and units to explore and a great story. Recommended.… Expand

    RTS games usually suffer from being boring and repetitive in the single player making it close to impossible to finishing the campaign (theRTS games usually suffer from being boring and repetitive in the single player making it close to impossible to finishing the campaign (the story is usually boring and not very deep either), however this is not the case with warrior kings. The world is expertly created the story brilliant and the game-play interesting right until the end. Warrior kings is a must play for those not bothered by graphics (and a few minor glitches) who enjoy great game-play and a fantastic story that should really become a book.… Expand
