Grand Attrition

Fun free-form strategy game that doesn't lock you into one form of playing the game. A good way to pass the time with plenty of features to experiment with. The game has great potential and plenty of room for improvisation and improvement.

Okay, I'm not a big review writer but I found this game and thought I'd give it a go. Things I liked: Over all this isn't too bad for a cheap indie game. All of the units (Normal, special, or otherwise) are actually unique with their own functions and purposes, which was rather nice. Map size goes from small to rather absurdly large. Honestly most of the standard stuff is par for the course but the things I really enjoyed are the Side-grades, the forts, the special units, and most importantly, the Talents. The side grades are all just that, sidegrades, they really change up how you can tackle a game and once I figured out that I could do that to the unit spawning buildings it really helped. The forts are these “Structures that contain “loot” that can be very beneficial for the rest of your current run. Then the special units, Some of them are spawnable units that cost a lot of resources but they all do different things aside from just attacking whats ever in front of them....

The graphics made me want to kill myself. The gameplay made me want to live. Gets good around difficulty 4 or 5, but before then is kind of meh. The best strategy is to turtle after difficulty 8. Gnomes get stupid tiny and can skullfuck your entire army. Wizards need to be nerfed. They can crap out 100000 magic buzz saws every second and are only stopped by barbarians. The inter-unit combat and boner dilating playstyle customization make the game worth it. Needs more content. Wait for a sale.
