dunno if anyone remembers mentioning this game, Warlords Battlecry, I was playing through the first game for some time and ooh boy.. is it broken.. :p
I mean it’s more of an old school dressing for gameplay and balance, you got your knights that you can just rush through the lot of your enemies and they’re strong as rocks, you got your berserkers from dwarves and they’re even stronger rocks, plus they drink beer which is an amazing usable spell, I have to say, which lasts long too. you got quests that give you sacrifice ability to all units, so you can summon a daemon boy. Most quests probably repeat, some riddles and some resources asked, destroy some enemy buildings and so on, but the variety is still pretty interesting and for the first game too, I’m very curious about the other 3.
and then you have dragons, that cost a fuckton of resources, but 1 of them can almost destroy an entire army and is a super boss of sorts. so you know. That was surprising, melee couldn’t do much against 1 of those, unsurprisingly, but a little bit of WoW-like kiting and the other archers just unloading arrows did the job. Still cumbersome for the kind of game this is, but that’s where dwarves excel, because they got beer.
All in all, good times.
