First of all I’d like to mention that I almost never play strategy games. When I played this game and I am glad I played this game, it’s getting me hooked to the strategy genre. The game is a combination of turn based strategy, and chess. Having not played most strategy games I had a blast with this game. You can play with AI or play online with random people or invite your friends to play with you online. Furthermore you can even play locally with friends with the turn by turn system.

Graphics:

The game looks good and the top down view gives plenty of details and the texture quality seems to be nice as well. There are presets of graphics on this game so even if you are playing on a very old PC you can crank the settings down and play. Other than that there’s the usual resolution adjustment, post processing filter of some sort (looks like motion blur to me) and a couple of other options like use regular windows cursor instead of the games’ one.

Sound:

The music in this game is very good and the tutorial is voice acted and surprisingly good voice acting at that. I have no problems with the music I can listen to it all day long.

Gameplay:

You can play the strategy game by yourself with the AI, there’s 3 levels of AI. Easy, medium and hard. You can play online with random people within your skill level or you can play with friends (online and local). When you beat someone you get points and as you get points you unlock styles/designs for your shield which is like your custom avatar. I think this game is very underrated as I had a blast playing. It has one of those Steam notification systems where steam will send you a notification when it’s your time to move so I think that’s a neat feature as you can also minimize the game and do something else in the meanwhile.

Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 7/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Overall: 8/10

Conclusion:

All in all this is a very fun game and I highly recommend it if you like chess and strategy games.Price is reasonable too and if you want it even cheaper wait for a sale.
