Played the game since it released in 2001.
Game is fun if you play with friends but the Devs need to nerf the Lotus clan. It's ridiculous how overtuned it is. It used to be back in 2001 too but now that they balanced a few units, etc. they had the chance to fix that. They didn't. Considering that one out of four clans/races dominates this much i DO NOT recommend the game in the current state.

Maybe if they balance the game better it's worth a buy. Currently it's not. Would refund if i could.

I love Battle Realms. I loved it as a kid and I love it now. I love how it's one of the most unique RTS games out there. No game like it. When this was announced, I was overjoyed. Even as a kid, I remember the bugs being outright annoying and game-breaking and I thought it would be fixed.

It was not. Not only are there STILL the bugs of old, there are new ones as well. I've crashed a few times, watched the AI peasants run in circles, that severely annoying sound glitch is still there, and sometimes cutscenes in the campaign are loaded weirdly. Whenever I play Serpent in skirmish, something always breaks.

I cannot approve this game when it's in such a terrible state.

Planung This Game for about 15 years. Still Great
