A Druid's Duel

If you're looking for a fun little game, this isn't bad. If you're looking for a strategy game, it still needs quite a bit of improvement. Every multiplayer map suffers from severe First Move Advantage, and One on One is the way I wanted to play a strategy game like this (since I found it reminiscent of chess), but this game is currently not designed for that. Single Player is just an excercise in manipulating the enemy AI to fight each other and not you. Not too much different than most other single player strategy game ecperiences, but it includes "False Path" maps that are really frustrating and can add hours onto your play time by forcing you to replay levels you already beat. Levels are small and there's no expandability or map maker. For $10 I can't really recommend it at this point in time. Wait for it to go on sale and it's a cool little diversion, or wait for the next version and we'll see if it fixes some of these problems.

UPDATE: The developer, Kris, has been very active on the forums. He's taken all the feedback we've given and in a short month, been able to add multiple features such as a tournament settings mode, a live mutliplayer mode (not async-only anymore), live chat, campaign changes etc. There's more in the patch. Very surprised at the level of dedication and involvement from the developer. Check out the game! Interesting tactical game. The gameplay mechanics and unit classes are very fun. There is a singleplayer campaign, but I bought it mainly for the multiplayer, because there are several game modes (1v1, 3-player 1v1v1 and even 4-players versus each other, with 20+ maps). Downside is that it is asynchronous unless your opponents are present and playing automatically. Developer has shown interest in improving and making quicker games, hope they add a live game mode option (or shorter time-to-take-turn). Nice little game to pass time. I would reccommend if: 1) you dont mind asynchronous gam...

Very cool entry into the turn-based strategy genre. All the combat is one-hit kills so it's all strategy- no luck involved. Your task is to secure every enemy-held tile on the board. Each tile acquisition increases your mana which is used to spawn more units or use special abilities to increase movement/attack range and create or destroy tiles and obstacles. There are only 4 different classes so the options are limited to that but there is enough there to have very fun and tactical games. There are a few things to be aware of, though. First, there is only campaign and multiplayer at this point. The devs have mentioned an interest in adding a versus AI mode but it isn't there yet. The multiplayer could also be improved. As of now, unless you are playing with a friend, you will likely be playing games 1 turn per day at a time, similar to the old PBeM games. This is great to have as a feature, but as of now it is the only option. There is no chat or lobby to see if anyone is active. The...

The game itself is a very fun and simple strategy concept with quick rounds and decent amounts of depth considering the easy rules. I'd recommend it if you intend on playing it single player. The online multiplayer, however, is an absolute shitshow. I bought the 2 pack to play with a friend, and in the duration of one ~half hour session, we experienced the following: - Whether we were able to join each other seemed like a complete dice roll; we just had to keep making new games until one finally became visible in the games list. There's no invitation system. - Upon joining me one time, friend's game did not load the board or characters and they had to quit. - Said game then became invisible forever, despite both of us attempting restarts/rejoins. - Seemingly random server disconnects that cause your turn to be reset to the beginning. - Friend's "end turn" button completely broke; when pressed, nothing happened on my end, it only affected fairies on their end. In addition, you also ha...

This game started out very well but about an hour in you will realize that its the same thing over and over. Theres no progression, there are no levels, there is a very thin story that holds 0 interest, there is one tile set and the characters you have at the start are going to be the same to the end. The game has 0 variety while lasting way to long. I got through the second chapter in about 2 hours or so and there are 4 more which would make the game roughly 6-7 hours long. Theres just no way I could finish this game knowing its going to be the same thing for 5 more hours.

A rather unusual concept - think of it less like a traditional tactical RPG, i.e. Final Fantasy Tactics et al, and more like.. half that and half chess/checkers. Units don't really have spells/abilities/attack/def/HP/etc., they each are a 'type' and each type has a movement/attack range and an animal transformation that lets them move/attack in an unusual fashion (movement/attacks are usually one space/one attack per turn, at a glance.) If you're looking for a turn-based grid-based tactical RPG with character classes/levels/etc., then look elsewhere. If the appeal of something of a light dusting of that plus some puzzle/logic/forward thinking used in chess, then this game may be for you.

Played this game back in November at Gamers Rhapsody, and this was the best game on display and I have been waiting since to buy it.

I liked it until I realized that the enemy can attack a druid with an Eagle, I can't. The enemy can destroy ground under me, but in the same setup I cannot from theirs. At the point when the enemy turtle was floating in the air (I kid you not) at the end of their turn, I called quits. If the unfairness was for a plot reason, some explanation sure would have helped.

Snowball the game, don't bother picking this up unless you're into doorbangs and one-sided victories. Spam Bears and Birds, and you win, simple as that, and once you start winning, you literally can not loses unless you try.

This is a great fun little game that I love playing, I play it to kill time between classes at school, and at night to relax, it should have an app version, but it still a really good game, so if your looking for a smiple light game, that still has deep strtagy involved in the game you should really check this game out really soild game great buy.
