Pretty fun and surprisingly deep for the price. Also harder than it looks, even on easy difficulty. Suffers a little from unforgiving RNG which can sometimes feel unfair. The game mechanics are pretty straightforward and turn based, there are two separate parts to the game, the strategic part where you collect resources which you spend on upgrades to your kingdom or recruiting and upgrading new units. Random events pop up which allow you to go questing or seach for resources or treasure items that you can equip to your soldiers, or you can focus on healing your units or researching new technology. Or you can choose to fight tactical battles against the enemies, which you have to fight before your kingdom gets overrun. The tactical battles are played on a relatively small grid filled with terrain obstructions. Placement of units seems fairly random and there doesn't seem to be any way to set a formation for your units to stay in. You can get badly screwed by initial placement pretty e...

It's bad. The difficulty is artificially boosted by really weirds mechanics, you just don't play with the same rules as the ennemies. Every single ennemy can always use a skill in the support phase and got a mean to attack/act in the attack phase. You can't, because your troops aren't in range or need a target or plain can't move far enough to act. Everything can move over 4 tiles. But most of your troops are limited to a 2 tiles move. Combine that to the fact that a bunch of ennemies got a ranged attack in either support or attack phase ( or both ) and you understand that the few HP of your troops aren't going to stay for long. You don't have ranged attacks. Well, the mage can, but his damage are crap and most ennemies are either immune or highly magic resistant. Which invalidate all the curses and skill of the mage except the healing. There's no ranged troops at start, maybe one is unlockable by a random event but never saw it. But it don't matter, I don't see why a bat can use a...
Really fun game! I like the time management, do you rest/send some peasants on a quest/wipe some invaders? Ressource management is fun too (different resources are used to enhance the kingdom/recruit new units/teach them more skills...) The turn based combat is playing out fine and each class (three at the start with more to unlock) really has its weaknesses/strong points. I really don't get the negative reviews for such a low price (under 1€/1.20$ during sale). Again, don't expect to spend 60+ hours with Blades of the Righteous, but i bet i'll spend a few/some fun hours and looking forward to finishing the game at least once on Normal difficulty after an "Easy" run.
First, please see my hours played and, if you like, achievements for this game. Unlike most reviewers, I have actually played it long enough to figure it out. This is a small, relatively simple (but still surprisingly deep) turn-based hex-grid strategy game with somewhat generic characters, simple graphics, and simple animations. It'll likely run on half of a potato. It's also $3 USD. It's not hard, but it's not too easy, and you definitely need to invest the time to learn the game's quirks before you're going to "get it," as evidenced by many of the other reviews. It has some bugs. The Grim Reaper will crash the game, as will hovering over skills for angels. As long as you leave those two units out of the mix, which is easily done, the game is completely stable. Considering this under $5 game is nearly four years, its time may have come and gone, but who knows, the developer might come back and patch it up for those two units. More than likely, they worked fine four years ago, bu...
I really wish there was a maybe button... I've had this in my wish list for 2 years now, and nothing has happened.. It doesn't even have enough reviews now to grade it. Anyhow, it was on sale for about 2 dollars, and if you see this on sale for again for that much MAYBE pick it up, but it is clearly not finished... From the story to the UI, this looks like class project at Digipen or whatever. It certainly doesn't have an intuitive UI, nor a workable story other than: "Thems bad guys, kill bad guys cause you good guys." I only put around 20 - 30 minutes and had enough. Though this might be outstanding an hour into it, that doesn't mean crap unless you feel invested enough to put in that time.... I don't even know why I'm writing this review, such as breathing or other bodily functions. Adieu
