Divinity: Dragon Commander is a good mix of RTS and Action Shooter, which does a solid job for all it set out. Solid package length, with a 10-20 hour campaign mode, as well as custom campaigns and a skirmish mode, with multiplayer also being an option. It goes for a cheap price too (90% off on all sales), so I would very much recommend it. The only thing it fails at is explaining its systems. Short interlude: Game runs very smoothly, no crashes, nor FPS drops. It didn't recognize my Graphics Card and said I didn't have the specs required but the game ran just fine with the settings I used. Back to the review. The game lacks clarity, it doesn't show you unit stats, what abilities tied to cards do, etc. It only shows a general "Good against X, Bad against Y" and the Unit Categories. This means there's a certain amount of trial-and-error, which is mostly solved by the RPG/Action part where you command your dragon in a fight. I quite enjoy the build options you have for you Dragon, you can make it offensive, defensive, support, you've got DPS abilities and healing. The best part is you can mix these abilities however you like and switch between battles if needed. The downside is that you can only play one battle per turn with your dragon. That said, rarely do you have more than 2 battles per turn until the third act. The RTS portion is done very well, lots of units, good models, excellent voice-acting and memorable little personalities. Units all have abilities and passive buffs you can unlock through research which is a great addition. Even the basic ones can remain useful. Sadly, you'll almost always be playing at a disadvantage in the fights you do play, so you'll have to utilize your dragon (which granted, is very cool, but takes away from the RTS). It's a little simple, there's only one resource in combat, Recruits, which you gain from specific buildings or by routing the enemy if you're winning. I think it's handled well though. It permits you to focus on the fighting instead. You can still command your troops in Dragon mode, the controls are very good and can be adjusted if needed, including the option to quick-save. Your army remains useful even in Dragon mode which is nice. To spice up combat, you can enable power-ups in the form of cards before every battle, which have a lot of variety and can truly change the tide of any fight, they're particularily useful for Auto-Resolve fights. Do not underestimate them and try to create at least one of the buildings that provide cards in your run. For all battles you have the choice of either playing it yourself with your dragon (with the above-mentioned 1 per turn cap), or auto-resolving, which only utilizes the units that are present at the start of the battle (Seems a little odd. I personally think it's not done well, then again, I do not enjoy Auto-Resolve in general). For auto-resolved battles, once per turn, you can select a general to buff your units on the field. These generals are part of the game's rich cast of characters which... are rather theme-based. There's a clear "This is Religion Man", "This is Capitalist Oligarch Man", and sadly, due to the lack of characters, races tend to be reduced to the portrayal of their ambassador. They rarely have much character growth if any. That said, they are nuanced characters at times, particularily the Imps. The Generals themselves are neat characters, with actual narrative arcs, choices and multiple endings. One of them is overtly misandrist, which might get annoying until you realize this Fantasy world doesn't have women's rights in any proper form. On that topic, some of the game's political choices feel a little shoe-horned in. It tackles pretty much all you could possible imagine, from worker's rights to medicinal drug use and gay marriage. You can customize your empire as you see fit. That said, a lot of these decisions are not that influential in gameplay terms which is sad. Tropes aside, the game's writing is excellent and has a lot of entertaining dialogue interactions. The game also features Role-playing, via diplomatic and legislative interactions, as well as quest-chains for all of your generals. These resume to hearing the premise for a debate, having the chance to explore other opinions (only applicable for legislative interactions) and then making a choice. These choices affect your opinions with the game's 5 races and often provide you with neat little buffs for your campaign. There's also romance options. You can pick one of four spouses which have their own quest-line and multiple endings which also change their appearence. I was pleasantly surprised by that feature, they stray a lot from the usual "Good Spouse" and "Evil Spouse" choices. You can influence their character development through their quest-lines. Voice-acting for all parts of the game is excellent. Music is very good. Level-design is solid but there aren't that many individual combat mapps, you're guaranteed to replay every one at least once. The central story's solid overall, but not that deep. The antagonists are not sufficiently built-up in my opinion. The game instead relies on providing you a personal experience, shaped by the way you want to play and rule. The game does not feature any "Special Levels" or "Boss Levels" during the game, every battle you play is just a skirmish on one of the skirmish maps. That includes the final fight of the game. The Newspaper reports at the start of each turn are an excellent addition. They have fun sensatioanalist titles and remind you of your past choices. The ending is quite satisfying, you get to say goodbye to all of the characters and they reflect on your past interactions. Overall, I'm quite happy with the game. I give it a 9/10

NUDIST MAYHEM ON PUBLIC BEACHES!! UNDEAD GOES BLIND AT SIGHT OF NAKED DWARVES! Divinity Dragon Commander: probably one of the most hilarious games ever made. actually amazing 10/10 humor

It's amazing how well this game holds up despite being released in 2013. The actual combat portion does feel somewhat dated, but the Risk style strategy map and council meetings still feel very crisp and tidy. The banter between the council members is always hilarious and the game is very open ended, with so many choices and solutions to problems, it's one those rare games where the choices truly do matter.

Divinity - Dragon Commander is the most ambitious game ever since... forever. Seriously, this is a turn base strategy board game, with real time strategy battle, and third person action as a flying, fire breathing lizard with jetpack, all in one. While try to balance the political infighting between your vassals with decisions that may or may not screw you over later down the line. Thanks Angry Joe. Without his review years ago i would never know this masterpiece.
