    Like its predecessor, Fantasy General 2 captivates from the first mission.

    This is thoroughly entertaining, surprisingly well conceived fantasy tactics with a focus on depth. This is a breath of fresh air that doesn’t rely on the typical rock-paper-scissors mechanics.

    Fantasy General 2 worth its predecessor, both for what concerns the gameplay on the battlefield, and for the really high difficulty.

    Fantasy General II brings some modern additions to a tried and true formula in an engaging and challenging campaign. Overall - a great success.

    Fantasy General II is a true wargame, a tribute to the past but with a modern feeling.

    For a turn-based strategy battler the scenarios have a quite dramatic flow to them. And the game only gains from it. Even escort missions cease to be just battles and it pays to devise interesting ways to break through the enemy lines [12/2019, p.48]

    Despite having a lengthy campaign and sound gameplay mechanics, a number of technical hiccups, randomized rewards, and egregious repetitiveness hold back Fantasy General 2. It tries to combine a unique fantasy RPG experience with wargaming strategy, but it falls just a little bit short on both counts.

    Awesome fantasy strategy with RPG elements. Your troops collects XP, gains levels and perks, can be equipped with items. Game play is reallyAwesome fantasy strategy with RPG elements. Your troops collects XP, gains levels and perks, can be equipped with items. Game play is really deep and tactical.
    There is lots of single player content even there is just one playable faction for campaign. Haven't checked out multiplayer yet. Worthy successor for Fantasy General I.
    Totally 10/10 game! If you like strategy games or are new with the genre and like fantasy stuff, you should get this immediately!    … Expand

    A sequel as it should be: taking the original game and adding to it / improving features.

    Fantasy General no es un juego perfecto ni de lejos, pero entretiene. La campaña evoluciona lentamente, ofreciendo nuevas opciones y unidadesFantasy General no es un juego perfecto ni de lejos, pero entretiene. La campaña evoluciona lentamente, ofreciendo nuevas opciones y unidades a medida que avanzas, lo cual hace que se mantenga razonablemente fresca a lo largo del tiempo. Y, al final, de hecho hay bastante variedad en cantidad de unidades a tu disposición, aunque muchas de ellas son muy similares entre si. La dinámica de las misiones también es muy similar ya que, en general, siempre estás en la ofensiva, lo cual te da un buen control del frente de batalla pero poca utilidad para las unidades más lentas y defensivas, especialmente porque acabar cuanto antes las misiones da más recompensa. Las unidades tienen mejoras que están bien, aunque muchos de los objetos que las puedes equipar acaban siendo más superfluos mientras otros son muy poderosos. Y hay que reconocer que hay una buena variedad de terrenos de batalla, llevando a distintos tipos de enfrentamiento.

    El apartado gráfico es muy discreto, nada llamativo ni especialmente interesante. El apartado sonoro es igualmente discreto aunque he de reconocer que la BSO me ha gustado bastante. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no he encontrado casi ningun bug.

    Por todo ello, a nadie le va a cambiar la vida Fantasy General 2 pero es un juego entretenido.    … Expand

    Not even close to matching the original. Awful in all ways but graphics; stick to the original Fantasy General.
