    The entire game is meant to be a light and fun addition to the turn based strategy game, easy to pick up, deep game play, a lighthearted and humorous story line, and an overall enjoyable equation that makes it an easy choice for those looking for a new game.

    Highborn is a game that knows how to have fun while remaining insanely addictive and can only get better with future updates.

    It's already a fun, extremely well-written game, so those who enjoy strategy games shouldn't pass it up.

    Highborn is a good turn-based game held back by a number of nagging issues – none of which cannot be easily fixed in an update, although the Facebook-reliant multiplayer might take some time.

    A humoristic but a bit clumsy fantasy strategy game.

    Highborn is an amazing turn-based strategy game, rich in humour and with a remarkable tactic depth. Players will be strongly challenged starting from the second mission already, and even the most ridiculous error can nullify the entire strategy. Actually, the game suffers from some major issues, as the Facebook-based multiplayer mode or the lack of an Undo button.

    Highborn is a really strong game and I highly recommend you give it a shot, even if your not a fan of turn based strategy games, or you're tired of them. This is fresh, new, and seriously…how expensive is it really?

    Highborn is a well-intended, though unpolished tactics game that needs to incorporate a number of basic features in order to improve playability.

    A decent game with much potential. Keep an eye out for updates.

The reviews by Slide to Play, Pocket Gamer, and IGN are all out of date, as the features they complain about have been patched in. The multi-player is not Facebook dependent. The game is fully integrated with OpenFeint.

    Chapter two has even funnier dialogue than the first chapter!    … Full Review »
