In spite of its disappointing graphics, it's the best strategy game I've played all year. [Holiday 2003, p.110]
A highly streamlined sequel that shifts the series' focus away from management and diplomacy to surprisingly fast-paced combat.
As the pedigree of the series suggests, Warlords IV's AI plays a very mean game indeed. The different difficulty levels are well balanced, going from a pushover at the easiest setting (good for getting to grips with the rules, and what constitutes a good army) to a very real challenge at the upper ones.
I found myself loving this game and playing until the sunset. The gameplay has few flaws and is packed with action and strategy. The game's simplicity should not fool you into thinking the game is easy.
Doesn’t live up to its illustrious predecessors. So many changes has cost the game its identity.
There is an undeniably addictive quality about this release, but it is so far overshadowed by the shallow nature of the gameplay that its power to enchant will be tested with all but the most ardent groupies.
You practically need a magnifying glass to spot your tiny units on the map. [Jan 2004, p.67]
