Spanish site Blue Monday has written a nice preview of Etherlords. Here's a bit:
Etherlords doesn’t try to hide it’s a combination of ideas we already saw. The story talks about some fantasy universe with four planets, each one inhabited by a race that masters a specific type of magic, and a certain type of creatures that goes with it. Two of them are align on the side of good, while the other two obviously favor evil and darkness, and when starting the campaigns, the player can choose any of them.
This sets the stage for an intricate fantasy universe, reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic, with a combat system that’s very similar to Magic: The Gathering. Etherlords is not exactly like any of those game, but they’re a good reference to give you an idea. |
