Age of Castles Review
Fun game of strategy and colonization
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Fun, requires a little thinking, nice music, addictive
Could use more aspects to gameplay
If you've played civilization or any other game where you command a people of your own you may be interested in this game.
As a primer, you basically have 4 ways to use your people for and each add something to your civilization. You also have magic that you can use to purchase items. The interface is pretty user-friendly even though it takes a little bit of time to figure out what everything does.
The "wars" that you get into in the game are a little lame but then again the game definitly isn't about; If your looking for an action game dont look here. Most of the strategy and playing comes from the decisions of what to do with your people and what to spend your magic on.
The only thing I would advise about this game would be long-term play; after you get an idea of what kind of balance you need to most effectively grow your castle it can get a little boring but it does get interesting when your castle grows really big.
At $18 it's probably worth it, especially if you have many people who would play it
