Critic Reviews

68	Strategy Informer The Golden Horde is a pleasant shake up to the usual tried and true method of a RTS game, mixing light RPG to give the player the chance to better customise and tune their own war machine is an engaging feature. Unfortunately this also plays against as some won’t find it to their tastes.
50	PC Gamer UK It wants to tell the stories of medieval history, but instead tells the stories of the limitations of modern game development. [May 2008, p.79]
50	PC Format There's nothing to see here whatsoever. [June 2008, p.111]
35	PC Zone UK Patently unrecommendable. [July 2008, p.87]
