Godsworn

Who's an edgy boy? Who's an edgy boy? That's right, Meness, you're an edgy boy. Such a good little edgy boy, yes you are, Meness <3

Incredible Game, feels smooth to control, great campaign aswell, The game systems are quite robust and well designed. Can definitely imagine this becoming "the next big RTS" upon its full release

A strategy game that blends the elements of Warcraft 3 and Age of Mythology. If you like games like that you will like this. Still rather early in development, but the foundation is strong, and the devs are hard at work polishing, fixing bugs and adding content. Truly an impressive undertaking, considering the size of the team working on it. The only thing I would ask is to add Ukrainian localization.

Godsworn is honestly a masterpiece in the making. I'd say it's worth the price and I'm looking forward to what else may get added. For now, you have a 10 mission campaign, several challenge maps and a multiplayer mode (while not very active, you can get folks to play it with via the game's discord). The Campaign is around 7 hours for now, though with replayability and the custom missions, you can expect between 10 and 20 hours worth of content. To start with the most important aspect, this game runs very well. It's a bit surprising for an Early Access title but I haven't had any crashes or game-breaking bugs. The devs are active in fixing issues and bettering the game. You can expect some rare typos and minor bugs but the experience is smooth. There is no saving for the time being, and you will lose certain campaign missions if you or your ally lose your hero, so be careful and don't be afraid to wait a little to gather extra resources. The game features a 2-mission campaign demo with a limited skirmish mode so I'd recommend trying the demo first to see if you like it. The campaign is amazing, with some of the best mission design I've seen in a while, you have a good amount of lee-way in achieving your objectives and a lot of side content in each mission. The game also features custom scenarioes, including a MOBA Map and a Survival Scenario, alongside several challenge maps that are much alike the campaign levels themselves. The Elephant in the room is that it's a coop campaign, however you can play it solo (as I did) with the AI. It handles fine on Normal but it does have some issues in the tactics department. It rushes the enemy on "Destroy this base" missions and doesn't seem to properly prioritize higher tier units. However, you can give it commands via pings to keep it safe. It is also not very optimal in using its Hero Powers for now. A benefit of the coop aspect is that you can trade units, structures and resources during missions. You can request them when playing with the AI, tell it you claim a region or even that you want a structure it has already built and it will help you out. I remember on one mission the AI gave me exactly the amount of gold needed to obtain a bonus objective and win the mission. The coop feature also grants replayability to missions, you have two guaranteed ways to experience them, alongside the per-mission different ways to achieve victory, bonus objectives and even choices for some of them! You can find resource caches, troops, bandit camps, and much more. Exploration is well-rewarded in every mission, which is a big plus. Be warned however that a lot of the mission's side content is not marked. You won't get told to find X amount of Glyphs to unlock abilities, or that there are Y amount of bandit camps that can offer you a free worshipper/civilian. You find these yourself by experience the mission. I think that's a good thing, the important bonus objectives will always be marked however. The game also does a rather unique thing in letting you access a lot more of your roster early, instead of the typical "one/two new units per mission". It helps you get your bearings and learn combos better. The unit upgrades are also a nice touch, differing from the simple "+X stat" upgrades of other games. There's no cross-campaign meta progression, however you do have progression during missions via your Hero Level, which unlocks 1 new ability per level that you can pick between, whilst also making your hero stronger. The campaign takes you through all of the game's heroes, with each having differences not just in ability and appearence, but in the roster and upgrades available to them. You can pick whichever of the two options available you'd prefer for each mission. Also worth noting, unit upgrades tend to visually change the unit. One Order unit even goes from "dude with a sword" to having proper chainmail armor I quite enjoy the game's art direction and graphics, the world is pretty. The music is 10/10. The voice-acting is generally quite good, though there are a scarce few lines in cutscenes that don't come out right (mic effect). The campaign story thus far is good, the the end of Act II is a bit fast and not as fascinating as the cliff-hanger Act I ends on. The game certainly leaves me wanting to see more, however, including expansions if that will be an option in the future. I fell in love with Godsworn from the first mission of its campaign demo and the game continued to make me appreciate more and more with each mission. It's very competently done and it's clear the two-man dev team has a very good grasp of RTS design. I give it a 9/10 and my vote for the best RTS campaign of this rennaisance of the genre.

Great game in its current state can only get better from here.

great game

It’s a great game with great potential. I’d recommend it to all fans of real-time strategy games. Please add a Ukrainian text localisation to the game.
