Has potential but there are lots of balance issues.

"Helium mix optimal."

Everything is wrong.
Credits at the beginning and you can't skip anything. No optimization for gameplay.
Absolute TRASH.
Please don't buy it, it will save your money and most importantly your precious time.

The Age of Wonders series holds an exceptional spot at turn-based strategy game genre that has managed to stay relevant for a long time. The series offers players an immersive high-fantasy experience set in richly detailed worlds with engaging gameplay mechanics.
This game too, adds some layers to the series that has built upon its predecessors while maintaining the core elements that make the series so enjoyable.
Graphics are also more than acceptable with detailed character models and thriving environments that bring the World to life.
Game offers more than enough customization. You are going to have control on many areas, such as combat style choices, unique abilities and castle building ingredients.
Some of the situations you will be facing is going to be challenging and will put your skills to test, making some of the victories hard-earned and feel satisfying. It seems on point.
There might be a learning curve but, comparing with the developer’s other games, it is not as big as Stellaris and not even close to the cruel HOI4.
Overall, this turn-based strategy game is worth checking if you’re a fan of fantasy or strategy games.

Faster Than Light or FTL is a space-themed rogue-like game. As the commander of a spaceship, you try to navigate through different sectors of space while being pursued by a rebel fleet.
Gameplay mechanics are unique and every decision you make comes with some outcomes which will directly have an effect on your critical mission.
Thanks to the game’s procedurally but in some degree randomly generated levels and multiple the replay value is incredibly high. Simple yet charming graphics combined with godlike musics add so much to the value. I wish I had played this fantastic game earlier.
Overall, it is safe to say that FTL is one of the top-tier games, if you love space theme and enjoy the rogue-like type.

Single player is very good but even in SP there are many major problems related to story, characters and their background.
For example Gaz used to be a white guy in MW1, now he is black. Is he reverse Micheal Jackson or what?
How can you change background of characters and skin colour between games so easily? What about the story?
There are lots of smilarities between MW1 and this one but I can tell you that, this is a new game or let's say a "different timeline".

On the other hand for multiplayer side only one word will be enough to explain my whole experience:

-> Disappointment

A masterpiece without a doubt.

Keep in mind this game is only perfect without spoilers.
So do not check for answers/correct moves on the internet.

Sick game even after ages :)

Wow, as a Stronghold Crusader expert, I find this game really challenging and fun to play!
Still rocks in 2020s, so much better than Stronghold Warlords, Stronghold Crusader 2.
Do not buy it before Stronghold Crusader HD in my opinion :)

TRASH
