    Finally, we get a successor to games like Blitzkrieg 2 or World in Conflict. Well done.

    Lesta Studio created a decent RTS game, but, alas, Elements of War is far from the major league. Pure enthusiasm is not enough to take on World in Conflict; you'd also need exceptional talent and a serious budget.

    In the end, what Elements of War amounts to is wasted potential. There are good ideas here, but their execution is tarnished by mistakes that the bigger franchises have long since outgrown.

    This is one storm-chasing RTS that can't escape The Suck Zone. [Sept 2011, p.60]
