Age of Castles Review

You know when you have that feeling that the game could be good just when you hear its name. I am fan of strategy games, especially games that are related with medival age, swords, people working for lord, with only bread and water to survive, epic battles ... So I downloaded this game because of its name, and deciced to try it. After downloading and installing the game, I started it. First thing I liked was the game story which is quite good as it is so easy to play what I figured out later. So I thought, I could like this game. I entered main menu and started playing. Yeah, another good thing, you can select character race from 5 diferent races, but each of them is having only one speciality :( And from that moment it all goes down. You start the game from very simple interface, almost static one, with some lousy background picture, and few builders (dinamic) whom at first look I saw as rabbits. Yeah, it is that bad graphics, I know, and I checked my calendar few minutes ago and remebered that we are in 2009. But I thought, never mind, I can play with bad graphics if the game is interesting. And there it was where I made my bad prejudice. The game is so boring from the second day (turn) that you can not play it longer than 10 minutes and not fall asleep. Everything looks the same and even the same events are happening almost every day.
