Whee...
Here's my review for Battle Realms:
its interesting cos its 3d-ish... its sorta 3d but they dont let u rotate ur screen left and right, only up and down (i wonder why)...
peasants raise their arms and hammer into air for buildings to appear =) heheh...
i think the fun part of the game is the ability to "cross-breed" units to make others.. like u send a peasant into one building, u get one kinda soldier. then u send that soldier into another building, u get a different one.. quite interesting...
interesting points is the endless supply of resources... there's only 2: water and rice.. and u can water rice patches to make more rice grow... and ponds and rivers dont dry up... so basically if no one touches u, u eventually have max resources..
i think one problem is the messiness of the whole thing.. played a 3 vs 3 comp game earlier with Julian and his fren Skylight (interesting character), and battles got so messy i couldnt control the stuff properly... i found the animation of archers climbing on top of the watchtower interesting, but julian said it was weird.. *shrug*...
just played a 1v1 with julian.. died hehehhe. he rushed me so fast! but my peasants proved to be lethal as i chopped his soldiers with small peasants... =P
its interesting cos the speed that peasants pop from peasant huts depends on the number of units u have, so as he killed my peasants, more popped out.. (they come free.. hehehe)
The funniest part was the peasants saying "Kill? With these? Er... ok...!" when i asked them to attack his base =)
overall, i guess the game is interesting... some of the terrain r really dark and cant see anything... but besides that its quite ok... should be fun once i actually get the hang of the game...
