Legends of Callasia

I must say I liked the demo, it's clean... not all too complicated and I imagine the rest of the campaign would post more challenges and fun scenarios as well as new aspects and units. HOWEVER: liking the game and deciding to buy it I had to make an account. Done. Afterwards I couldn't buy it until I verified my account, for which they sent an email. No email received, nothing in junk. After which I was told I should try a different email account. I would like to make 1 thing very clear to the makers: If your game cannot send emails to a hotmail account, that is your problem. You want your game to be bought? Fix it. Because of this very simple reason I would not recommend it.

With some games, we tend to concentrate on all sorts of factors that seem important, and overlook the one that's the most important of all - fun! This game is just great fun to play! I kind of enjoyed the free version, and figured it was worth the punt at what's a pretty reasonable price. I have quite a few digital board games in my library so I was just expecting this to be another to come back to from time to time, but I was pleasantly surprised that it immediately became my new favourite game. As has been mentioned, it's basically a beefed-up version of Risk, and the short review is, if you like Risk, you're going to like this. The only major differences are: [olist] [*]you [b]improve[/b] territories you own, either with a town or a tower (or the odd portal from time to time) for most territories, or several upgrades for the main cities; [*][b]heroes[/b] - armies only move around the map attached to a hero. You'll generally have 2 to 4 heroes wandering round the map at a time. Ea...

If you purchase this game it will NOT unlock anything beyond the free-to-play level. The game's servers have been down for a year and you can't play even the single player campaigns. STEAM will not refund you your money if you spent more than 2 hours playing the free levels before purchasing. I've been a STEAM customer for a long time and this is $30 stolen disappointing. I'd dispute the charge on my card if it didn't risk my STEAM library.

Another one of these games, that looks amazing and seems to offer interesting gameplay. But after you get into it and dig deeper (you know after you completed the demo and bought the full game), you notice it's was just all an illusion. That everything that there was to see and discover, you have already seen. For a stragegic game it brings one of the most awfull and lazy AI approach. The computer opponent is dumb as a rock, and to balance that, it is usually given absurdly idiotic edge in starting resources and position. This is what's called 'fake' difficulty. A human player given such advantage would crush any opponent without problems. I mean literraly in many cases if the AI opponent just took his starting troops and heroes and marched straight on my starting city, it would just be over. Another thing that did irritate me in a campaig, are the arbitrary conditions like "capture this in x amount of time, because of, well reasons..." The only difference between the factions a...

it's more like simplified strategic game in fantasy setting. You are hiring heroes, getting gold, countering more land (to increase army size), upgrade land and try to eliminate enemy. On top of that there is card system, where cards can affect gameplay in interesting ways. Player can control 4 heroes that have one action per turn. There are 3 factions with variety of units, but I don't find many differences between units or factions themselves. Battles are played automatically (ranged, then melee) and can be played over a couple of turns (that's quite interesting feature actually!). Same goes for sieges (couple of turns), Overall I like this design - looks simple, but offers many options and tactics. If Age of Fear ever gets strategic view it will be something similar to that. Les [b]Note:[/b] Game is not free to play. After first mission, you need to activate game for 25USD.

This fills a nice little niche that not many games do. Let's say you like strategy games, obviously, youre looking at this game right? But maybe you don't have time to play Civ 5 or Endless Legend. Or you don't want to make the time investment for those games right now. What options do you have if you want to play a world conquering grand strategy game. Not many. In steps Legends of Callasia. This game is akin to super Risk(the boardgame). It's a dudes on a map game with some extra stuff thrown in to make more interesting. That extra stuff includes heroes, you can't move armies around without them, ala Heroes of Might and Magic. You also have cards that can boost your kingdom, think strategy cards, or can help in battle, think tactics cards. These add enough flair to make it better than risk. Throw in a bunch of different maps and multiplayer and you've got a game you can get some mileage out of. I did a quick video series shopwcasing the campaign, that you can check ...

Originally I got this game on iOS for my iPad. I liked it so much I told friends about it and bought it for my PC. We enjoyed many hours of fun together. It had cross platform support, so my hours played far exceed the amount shown on Steam. I bought the DLC and the campaign story lines were fun to play. Multiplayer was fun too. But I NO longer can recommend this game. Months before I wrote this review the game devs disabled the server required to log in to play the game. Yes this game uses a DRM tied to an authentication via their server. Without that the game has become COMPLETELY unplayable. I load it up and get a black screen because it cannot connect to their server. I recommend no one waste their money on a game that is unplayable. I've given the game devs months to fix this problem. It's a shame because I would still have dun playing this game otherwise.

This game appears to be broken currently. I was able to play the first mission in the campaign, and tried to start the second mission, but nothing happens. I can click the "start" button, the mission is unlocked, but nothing. The account creation doesn't work either. Yes, you're prompted to "create an account" to play a single player game, and yes "logging in" to play your single player game doesn't work. Since the game is a few years old, I'm betting the "authentication servers" are down, and that's that then. The in game "feedback" button also fails to do anything. There's a nice little place to send feedback and problem reports to the devs in the game, but of course it doesn't work anymore. A bit annoying, since the first mission that did work, wasn't half bad. I'll check back in a bit to see if any dev responded, but I'm guessing this is completely dead, even the single player part! So if you thought this might have looked cool, even in the year of our lord 2021, you ...

Game has a lot of potentual...little things like not being able to disband units that can really get in the way of plans when the enemy polymorphs your unit. but very simple and extremly entertaining game. I do look forward to them finishing this game its very good.

Incredible game. I was looking for maaaaaaaaany years for a simple game of this kind. Total War series is unplayable for me.But even if I could play it I find the autoresolve battle of this game a lot better than the autoresolve of total wars. The only thing, like all games, you have to give it a chance, you have to be a little patient in the first couple of sessions until you learn the basics.What are roles of the units in battle etc. ps:Im playing the free version so I cant give any advise about the content/price ratio after the release. For now you can try it for free.
