   Brilliant. It's as if they took Fallen Enchantress and fixed everything that was wrong with it. The UI makes MUCH more sense, it's intuitiveBrilliant. It's as if they took Fallen Enchantress and fixed everything that was wrong with it. The UI makes MUCH more sense, it's intuitive now. Crafting is fun. The doomsday clock adds excitement to lengthy campaign games. The map looks better now. No bugs or crashes after hours of play.
   
   Finally the tactical maps are much more fun. They look better and play better.
   
   I'm recommending this one to my friends. If you like fantasy strategy games, do yourself a favour and try this one.
   
   I notice there's a few very negative reviews out there - it might be that some people are still "punishing" stardock for the buggy mess they released last time. It's been known to happen before.
   
   Keep an open mind, and try this for yourself. It's currently my favorite strategy game.… Expand

   I love the turn based 4x style game. I have played all of the stardock variations. And this one is simply brilliant. You have lost the war,I love the turn based 4x style game. I have played all of the stardock variations. And this one is simply brilliant. You have lost the war, now it is time to ensure you don't cease to exist. While the Sorcerer King is busy trying to destroy the shards in order to ascend to godhood you have to build your rag tag empire up out of the muck and not only prevent it happening but take him down. This game has the "just-one-more-turn" factor in spades. I have spent over 60 hours on it already and most of that was during beta development. If you enjoy fantasy 4x games then this is a must-get game. It is not difficult to get into it but the replay value is enormous and each time the game feels different. Different adversaries, different heroes and magic all make sure that the game has a great deal of variation.… Expand

The concept is nice, but the rest of the game is weak, AI is non-existent, graphics are primitive and show seams in places. I do like not having to juggle 50 different cities aka AWIII, but at the same time, what you do with the cities, how they progress feels very weak and lethargic and I guess very static.
   
   I'm still playing but as time goes on not totally sure I have the interest.
   
   I like the crafting thing, to a point. I like where it can be applied as it relates to the heroes, but I really feel like outfitting every darn soldier piece and knight and all also. There should be some more automated way of dealing with the rest of your armies. What feels a bit weak about the crafting however is that you really aren't seeking out any particular materials, you just randomly acquire them, and then even more randomly see new things you can craft. There's no mental connection between "Ah, I must get some of THIS.... so I can make ...THAT."
   
   None at all.
   
   Doomsday clock, no big issue as it turns out, a spell can wipe much of it out every few turns. The maps, even the random big ones, feel cramped, like the first civilization on the iPad.. no hexes here, blocky.
   
   Fallen Enchantress from a few years back, I thought, had far superior graphics and game play. This feels a bit like a ported iPhone app in many respects.… Expand

   A pale and cut reincarnation of Fallen Enchantress. Doesn't worth to play, not speaking to buy.

   Previous commentators already said that - no control over other races(you play humans all the time), no custom units, and idiotic crafting system. Such a disappointment

This is basically a phone version of Fallen Enchantress. They cut half of the features from Fallen Enchantress (cant control races, make your own race, create units, etc) and they added absolutely nothing new aside from some items here and there while also cutting others. Graphics are not improved in any way. AI is not improved. Story is an afterthought (though even the old games are weak in story). There are fewer heroes now which is fine but makes the start and mid-game very slow. That is basically all there is to say about this game. It almost feels like something from the SNES era. Why they decided to go down this route is beyond me but this hurt the franchise reputation.… Expand
