Wizard Warfare 2: Cephalopod Wars

Imagine Dominion 6 but much much more friendly to casuals, it has some flows (like lack/clarity of information, lacking a tutorial for different and specific thing. As others pointed it out, you will face multiple turns just clicking the NEXT TURN button. (So we need to modify the "Just one more turn" phrase to suit the game)

Civilization with more magic. Quite fun indie game :) Could use bit more tooltips, there is a lot of trial and error.

Poorly designed, poorly balanced, with terrible timing and flow and the barest, minimalist UI. Disappointing.

Коротко: Пошаговая гексагональная стратегия взявшая-вдохновившаяся от серии игр Civillization (глобальную карту, строительство, ресурсы, перемещение войск). От серии игр Dominions (проработанные статы каждого юнита и пошаговый авто-бой, глобальные заклинания) В итоге игра скучноватая, пустоватая, из-за несогласованности её механик между собой. Глобально карта так же не имеет никаких интерактивностей на масштабе. Развитие всегда идёт +- по одним и тем же лекалам. Глобальные заклинания, скучны и прямолинейны. Но несмотря на это, игра доступная и простая в освоении, может прийтись по вкусу тем кто любит, более легкую категорию стартегических игр без напряга. Есть не мало других образчиков вроде Deity Empires, Shadow Empire и прочих. Имеющих куда более выраженные механики и их презентацию, что делает их привлекательнее. К слову, визуал далеко не самое главное в таких проектах, но он утомляюще яркий. Желаю разработчику доработать и сделать куда более явными механиками, чтобы они действительно значительно влияли на представленные в игре масштабы. Не хватает персонализации (опять же на масштабах) событий.

Great 4X with smooth gameplay and an easy to navigate UI. The empire management part is intuitive and magic allows to impact all tactical layers. There's no story or quests to follow here, it's pure gameplay and all information provided is informative and factual. The in-game encyclopedia tackles anything you'd like to know that is not already tooltiped. The auto-battler part is usefull to check troop behaviours but is optional, which greatly speeds up the experience. Even with a somehow large empire, it's still easy to keep track of what to do thanks to small icons appearing each turn as reminders of serious business to tackle. Replayability seems quite high with procedural maps and different rules for each Faction.

Well, interesting, still to hard ot play since NPCs overgrow you, but you can reduce them in settings, like the way its developing.

If you like Wizard Warfare, you will like this one as well. More of the same, and a better UI. If you don't know what Wizard Warfare is, imagine Master of Magic blended with some of the early-days Civlization series. Well worth the money, there's a lot of love put into the game!

This one would get a neutral rating if you could. Most comparisons seem to be to CoE or Dominions, though I dont think it plays like either. I own both this and the predecessor. For the money they are fun CIV like games, and honestly, to me, thats the best comparison - a deceptively more enchanting CIV clone. Good? easy to play, smooth gameplay, charming and turn spending time, fun units engages your imagination. The basic graphics actaully are a plus IMO Bad? *this is a game breaker* no way to gauge how you'll do in combat before you attack. You'll spend dozens to hundreds of turns building armies. If you lose one you be reloading a save or starting over. to see what the other army has strength-wise you'll be clicking into a LOT of units and trying to remember what yours have stats wise. will you start to remember that 5 of these is tough to beat or 10 of those are a cakewalk? yes, is it tedious to get there YES! so much so that youll realize there are better options to scratch that basic CIV"lite" itch...
