  1. Offers an interesting combination of an established universe with a different game genre.
  2. Goes a long way in making EverQuest accessible to casual RTS fans. Hardcore fans on the other hand could find the game to be too simple, and focused on too small a scale. Creation of units is slow, and mines run out often, so if you don’t mind expanding your force for most of the mission you will find an entertaining game in Lords of Everquest.
  3. Sports richly detailed environments, a solid soundtrack and gameplay. However, this game is a somewhat typical foray into the RTS genre.
  4. There are just too many problems with its core gameplay for it to be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. In the end, Lords of EverQuest is a mediocre game in a sea of refined and polished strategy games.

    Lords is a nice change from the type of gameplay that WCIII created. I actually had to learn new strategies for this RTS. Glad to see someone is taking on the Blizzard goliath. Expand

    This is a game for true RTS fans. Has a look all it's own, definitely not a clone of anything I've seen. Unit leveling and advancement is a huge plus and really makes the game play like a true RTS should. Expand

    Thought it was going to be a rip-off, but it turned out pretty good. Hopefully the subsequent versions will be even better for now I have to just give it a flat 8. :) Expand
  4. It's been years since I played this game. I was just a teenager with low standards, and even then I found it mediocre, easy and barely entertaining. Today, after watching few videos and seeing all problems-I find it horrible. This game is boring, shameless,ridiculous and cheap copy of Warcraft 3. So many things, even the sounds, music and phrases are directly copied from Warcraft 3. Even if we ignore entire unoriginality, and pretend that Warcraft never existed, this game is still horrible, boring and cheap. The loading is ridiculously slow. I could write an entire book describing all the problems with gameplay. It does not surprise me that this game is almost forgotten, and in a few years, no one will know it even existed. Expand
