Worthplaying has reviewed Nival's Etherlords 2, awarding a final score of 7/10:So, what’s the bottom line? As I said earlier, if you’re looking for a rich single player experience you can play through more than once, and have zero interest in multiplayer games, you’ll may not find much here unless you are looking for something different. The collectible card game basis of the game isn’t for everyone, and the hack-n-slash crowd may feel put out by the game. If you’re a fan of Magic: The Gathering, you’ll like this game. It’s not as deep as Magic, which may come as a relief for people who felt Magic was too complicated. It will also appeal to people who enjoy competing on the internet, but dislike the twitch based FPS games. The matches are fairly fast, so if you want to run a quick 8 person ladder, or just have an hour or so to play online, you’ll have ample time to get a lot of matches in. While I’ll most likely never play the single player version again, I enjoyed the internet play and will definitely keep playing that aspect of the game. |
