Played the CD version a few times back in the day. Bought to replay once again, out of pure nostalgia. Still feels great. Nice campaign, though not long. Took me 20h to complete on the hardest difficulty while clearing every single corner of each map. Given the price I guess worth trying, or wait for a discount if you're not sure, they do -75% every month or two.

solid RTS i'm quite surprised it doesn't have much of a following, Think Cossacks but with a fantasy twist.

An awesome old game. Very nice graphics for the time, still ok today. I saw people saying lots of crashes...I've played the first 5 campaign scenarios and 4 hours without a single crash. I have a low end machine too ... a ryzen 4800h with an rtx 3050 and I'm on windows 11. Very worth buying still. The only real con for me is that I cannot remap the arrow keys to wasd. Minor nitpick. Edit: It's 2 weeks later. Still not a single crash. Whatever problems people were having seems to be gone.

An interesting if a bit wonky RTS with RPG elements. I think the game would have worked better if the RTS and RPG stuff happened alongside each other more outside of the campaign, but it still works pretty well and considering its age holds up decently.
