Summary: Not as Great as I Thought.
Review: When I first played the game, I thought it was great fun; I was utterly amazed at the AI because the computer could beat me so badly every single time!! The game's a fast paced, real-time strategy game (For those who don't know: real-time strategy games are like: Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, War Craft, Civilization, Pharaoh...I hop I don't have to go on.) Anyway, the game is extremely original with it's use of heroes and guys. So that each unit has it's own identify and name! And not only can you train your hero and use him in battles to come; but you can train up even the units you produce and use them in other battles. Really cool. Besides that the resources here work quite differently; and I thought it was great; so even though I kept fighting until I won. After that I decided I would switch civilizations with the computer. I had been the Barbarians; but I decided to be the Deamons. Then I realized why the computer was beating me so badly. The Deamons are so, so much more powerful. Often one blow from a Deamon will kill a Barbarian where about twenty blow from a Barbarian would only wound a Deamon. The Barbarians have no counters for the Deamons; and most of their units are just plain in capable of even fighting back. (The Deamons are air born and throwing fireballs while the Barbarian knights just stand there and get killed without being able to reach the Deamon.) Even the ones that can counter attack are much weaker. That said: the game is unbalanced; but it is still fun. You can make the decision on buying.
