BC Kings

Way back in 1997, an extremely well designed RTS game, Age of Empires, blew many players away. Granted the gameplay at the time was similar to the ‘big two’ being Command and Conquer and Warcraft, it stands out due to its storyline as it ties in playing out our history. Personally, I loved it because you get the play out the Stone Age as no other games done this effectively since. Fast forward to 2008, another RTS game arrived where you can play out the Stone Age (with some twists) and filled the landscape with dinosaurs – and who doesn’t like dinosaurs? This game, BC Kings, whilst kept on the traditional RTS formula (explore / build / conquer), it added some RPG elements and encourages exploration as well. A decent game considering it’s an indie title however I wished there were more dinosaurs to play with. Overall, the game was a blast to play from start to finish with some twists and turns along the way. Yes it does feel like a rip-off from Age of Empires however it’s o...

Its a fun quirky strategy game that is fun to play but I bought the game on sale when it was much cheaper. Definitely do not buy it for full price, compared to other RTS games that are made today it is not as good but it brings some of that old-school RTS feel with it and is good for gamers that remember the challenging mechanics and playstyles of old RTS games. It has an interesting campaign and a fun variety of units but the graphics are dated and the online is all but dead. If its on sale though its not a bad deal.

This is a traditional RTS where you collect four resources which you later use to build structures and create army. The strategy is not revolutionary in any way, though you do have some interesting elements such as a secondary quest system and a possibility to travel between maps. The biggest drawback is the graphics. Everything would have been much better if the devs had paid more attention to the engine. If, on the other hand, you're into old school strategies, but don't mind the graphics, give BC Kings a go. :)

Very nice combination of Warcraft and AoE in Stone Age with dinosaurs. To everyone, who played and liked those 2 games, this is nice game for you.

Terribad, it is kind of shameful that this game preformed worst than the 1st starcraft. I mean it was made in 2008. So many bugs when playing, The cost may have been $1 but it wasn't even worth that. This is my first review and I am only making it because this game is that bad and i don't want anyone else wasting a dollar. My bad though didn't read the reviews prior to buying it.

Despite the dated and simple graphics (and the music tracks not appealing to me), this game turned out to be quite fun to play. Be prepared to restart some stages a few times as it is all too easy to lose a unit that "must" survive to complete a quest. BC Kings has some really good design innovation elements, but not all of these are flawlessly implemented. If you are looking for a more polished product that has some similar gameplay elements - look at Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III. However the setting for BC Kings is quite unique and the whole Neanderthal setting with cavemen and dinosaurs has a certain quirky appeal to it. With a revamp of the artwork and graphics, some voice-overs and a bit of refinement this game would certainly have more appeal and value. Overall as it stands you get a game that is fun to play, but it is very much a diamond in the rough.

Great game, especially for the low price tag! It gets a little laggy when you start stacking troops. Me and my friend colletively had around 500 troops and several hundred buildings, which caused our games to crash. Still a great game through that, a lot of replayability!

[h1]“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.” -Terry Pratchett, Jingo[/h1] Ah, [b]BC Kings[/b]... Such a weird title. But not because it's a weird game, or something. It totally isn't. It's pretty generic one, actually. It's just the whole idea is pretty much crazy. The whole story of this game is that one guy [i]really[/i] wanted to make his own [b]WarCraft[/b]. Or [b]Age of Empires[/b], since this game may look like both of them at the same time. Anyway, that's why [b]BC Kings[/b] is so strange. It's pretty much a story about [b]Marcell Baranyai[/b] making his own old school [b]RTS[/b] in late [b]2000[/b]s. What's so weird about it? Well... think about it. [b]RTS[/b] isn't an easy thing to make. It's not like one of those [b]Hidden Objects[/b] games, or something like that. Not one of those types of games that you can mass produce without putting too much effort into it. You need to make a proper [b]AI[/b], you nee...

An extremely fun and cheap little RTS. The gameplay is identical to Warcraft 3 but if you are a strategy fan you would definitely want to consider picking this up on sale.

Welp. This game was a waste of $0.99... Sat here and tried to play it for 5 minutes... and couldn't even click the continue button after trying to hit it 50 times... Finally got past the first continue and then there was another... After getting through them all, I tried to actually select my characters... Which didn't work... The game has all broken controls and doesn't work... I don't recommend this game what so ever. Don't waste your money on it.
