  • Summary: Besieger introduces a world filled with feudal rivalry in which players can wage war as either Viking or Cimmerian warriors. Build flying vehicles for combat or siege towns on horseback in an effort to conquer factions such as Ogres, Werewolves, Centaurs, and other non-human races. The armored walls of a citadel can be shattered using a battering ram and competitors can pocket enemy buildings and equipment. Players can also retreat and accumulate forces behind their own armored citadel for a counterattack.
    Progressive economics allow players to spend resources constructing 40 types of buildings and honing over 50 different units for battle. Workers are created without cost to the player but must be trained for fighting and other special skills. This experience and fighting efficiency carry over as levels are defeated.

  1. Where the game shines is in its siege warfare tactics and deformable terrain. These elements add enough flavor to the gameplay that fans will find the game an enjoyable romp both online and offline.
  2. A competent example of a seriously tiring game structure, which leaps from mediocrity with a reasonable twist to the mechanics. It doesn’t feel bad, and you’ll never hate it for being what it is, it’s just that WarCraft is so much better, and a decent story line or an iota of imagination on the behalf of the developer could have raised the bar that important fraction higher.
  3. If you can forgive the AI and path-finding issues and overlook the slightly decrepit graphics and lack of imagination in the story, then there is some fun to be found in Besieger.
  4. A slightly below-average RTS with such poor AI; the whole game is rendered very un-fun. My advice? Unless a pathing patch comes out real soon, ignore this game entirely.
