Short version: This game is freakin' AWESOME! Long version: I originally played this game on the Wii when I was a wee little lad. I hadn't played much games and I didn't quite understand how to play 'cause I was really stupid. I watched my mom play it a lot though (she loved it) and eventually, when I was finally old and strong enough to properly understand instructions and use the WiiMote's sensor properly, I immediately enjoyed the experience. It was super cool sending units and stuff! I spent COUNTLESS hours playing the Skirmish mode with my little brother. I usually played as the Chinese but we both agreed that the Aztec were the strongest. Eventually, though, we grew older and moved on to other games. We still returned to this game every now and then, but it was for a four hour session at most. We bought the second game on the Switch later but we dropped it pretty quickly as it didn't feel very fun to play (we couldn't believe they removed the Aztecs, too! They were our favorite). One day, I was prowling the Steam store and was thinking of random games that I liked. This game crossed my mind and I randomly decided to act upon my urge to look it up on the Steam store. I couldn't believe my eyes when it was greeted to me, and even greater, it was on sale along with the DLC I had never heard of before! I snagged both for around three dollars and immediately convinced my younger brother to do the same. Playing it in HD was amazing and I quickly realized there was more to this Steam version than improved graphics -- I'm fairly certain it has balancing changes, too! The skeletons don't seem to grant as much mana as they did on the Wii when you sacrifice them (thank goodness, spamming those skeleton spawning necromancer guys and sacrificing all those skeletons to unleash a bajillion spells was overpowered). They also seem to have brought a few very minor balancing changes across the game, too! I'm fairly certain the Vikings weren't as much of a threat in the Wii version and the Aztecs felt much less oppressive (though they're still probably the best in the entire game). They took an absolutely obscure gem from Wii and IMPROVED IT! This is the definitive way to play this masterpiece! I suppose it's time to stop running my mouth about my personal anecdote, however. A general review of the game is in order! I found the graphics to look really good (the art style holds up really well to this day) and the gameplay was just as fun as I remember. I've seen some people calling it "nothing more than spamming units" but it really isn't the case. It's important to decide whether to put all your gold towards miners at the beginning of a round or split it between miners and units to go defend yourself or harass the enemy. Even after you have all your gold miners alive and well, choosing what upgrades to get and what units to send is exhilarating. Even once you have enough gold to constantly replace towers and supply all the units you can, decisions can be made with the spells unique to whoever you're playing as! It's freakin' AWESOME! The campaign is very simple but super fun and introduces a fair amount of unique scenarios. I can understand if somebody says this game is a little racist with the stereotypes, but I feel that isn't the case. This isn't portraying any of them in a negative way -- it's just a stereotype, and not an offensive one. Then again, I guess I'm not Chinese or an Aztec or a viking, so I guess I can't really be talking. Still. Overall, this game is an obscure gem that is a masterpiece. It's endlessly worth the price, so drop everything you have and purchase this game immediately! I swear you won't regret it. Besides, the developers need more gold!
