This is my strategy game of 2015. It tingels in all the right places. It feels like Warcraft 2. And not in a bad way. I have a feeling I am going to sink quiet a few hours into this game. I recomend for a awsome trip down nostalgia lane. Five thumbs up.

This game has suffered a severe feature creep that doesn't fit it's style at all. I used to enjoy it a lot more when it was simpler, more to the point, but it's a big bloat right now, without the base gameplay to back it up any more. Units are so very tiny but they still drop items, gain levels, must be micromanaged like if they were as big and beefy as in Warcraft 3, which doesn't feel good at all. You're constantly struggling to micro and at the same time deal with way too many resources, research and meaningless features that only detract from the main game.
Looking at this game, the aesthetic and how it plays, it's obvious to see that this is heavily inspired by Warcraft II. Now, this isn't inherently bad, because that was a great game and a modern-day take on it would be refreshing and fun. This game also brings a Grand Strategy mode to the table, which could be an interesting addition to an engine and style that could implement it well. As far as the traditional RTS side of things, this is not a modern-day take. This is basically a weird re-skin. Every detail of the interface is essentially the same, and that brings with it every bit of clunkiness that the original WCII interface had. There's no effort made here to streamline or improve, and because the developers failed to give this game the polish that its inspiration had, this ends up being a vastly inferior, near bootleg-tier clone. This leads me to the Grand Strategy portion. I am honestly not sure of what I think of it, really. If you're good at Grand Strategy already, you might...
good, and i really like where this is going but not there yet, hope the improvements come soon:) because i really like this just feels like my childhood :D
Some kind of shabby re-skin of Warcraft. No tutorial. AI always knows where you're at, while the map is dark to you. Seems the AI has unlimited resources..... Tried a custom game, was overrun in 10 minutes by two 20 plus armies on easy. Oddly I only selected one enemy. This tells me difficulty has no bearing on the game what so ever. Tried the Grand Campaign, had no clue what to do, was overrun again on the first battle. How I got into that battle I have no idea. Tried Quest. Well that's all it is, one Quest. You get a bunch of warriors, wander around the map until you find the camp, destroy it, and that's it. Takes you to a screen where you can either reset the tech tree or go to previous menu. Previous menu ends game. From what I saw, the maps are very small. Uninstalled this garbage.
It reminded me of Warcraft 2. It gave me same feelings as I was kid and launched that game for my first time. And it has deep and more complex stuff. It's cheap and it's fun. I had a battle with AI, it lasted for more than 1 hour. AI spend all his gold and couldn't afford swordsmen and started to zerg me with farmers. They started to steal my resources! I was mad at them. After a long sick battle I finally got up on my feet, prepared my army and send them to destroy that big deserted village AI has abandoned, I felt sweet revenge and anger, it was final task to complete this quest, a few more hits to that building and win and... CRITICAL ERROR. Yup, I had my laughs about it, I was so into it I forgot to save the game.
Plain and simple. Warcraft 2 vibe with some up to date game ideas and its ALL in a good way. 2 playable races and campaigns already ready with more on the way like orcs elves gnomes goblins and more to add to the humans and dwarves already playable. Having an absolute blast with this game... so grab a 4 pack, toss em out to your buds, and play classic rts matches like old school is new school. Its a lot of fun! :) Edit: Upon a week after my purchase I even more HIGHLY recc the game.. the amount of patches, bug fixes, and even some new content that came out is awesome. I WATCHED the dev nit pick each bug from the forums and fix it within hours of finding them. He even took community ideas like making the gryphon rider a buildable unit and others! If you are an RTS gamer or just a wargamer, or just a fan of something truly awesome this game deserves your $ in all honesty. I bought a 4 pack.... I might just buy a few more!
Fun little play through. Old school styled real time strat Kinda like: Warcraft 2 Warhammer battle cry Ages of Empires
Wyrmsun wins the RTS game of the year award in my book, if you like RTS games and you like games like "King of Dragon Pass" then you will love Wyrmsun. Wyrmsun is my favorite budget title i have played on steam its my addiction right now and i am glad i bought it. it took me a while to figure out how to play the game right but once you understand how to play correctly it gives you a good feeling and it becomes addicting. i feel i will be a Wyrmsun Warrior for a long time to come, as long as the developer keeps making new content i will be playing it. Get this game folks seriously you won't regret it! i rate Wyrmsun 90 out of 100 points, in other words i love this game!
Open source oldschool RTS based on the good old Stratagus Warcraft-based engine. It adds quite a bunch of improvements and interesting ideas. There are some quirks with the window management if you plan to play windowed with grab mouse enabled, but I expect the upcoming Godot rewrite will help with that.
