Empire of Magic has received a harsh review from Game Revolution. The final score is "F" and here's an excerpt:
And, unfortunately, the gameplay is the most work of all. This really isn't a strategy game at all, playing much more like an RPG. But it keeps all of the turn-based limitations. Want to go back to town to buy that new skill? Let's say you have four little groups of units. You have to move Group One a few spaces (based on how many "action points" they have), then Group Two, then Three, then Four. Then you have to end your turn. Then you wait. Then you move Group One a few spaces, then Group Two...you might have to do this 20 times just to get back to town. Big fun. |
