i come back to Gamekult in french who puts a 3/10.

QUOTE : 'complètement déséquilibré (il faudra une armée d'unités de corps à corps pour éliminer ne serait-ce qu'un mage)'

= completly unbalanced ( you will need an army of soldiers to simply kill 1 mage)...

That's absurd, i really don't know where the writter saw this.I think he wasn't playing the same game...

1 more time reviews sucks anyway.

updated! 

What on earth was that reviewer playing? Im begining to think some of these reviewers have pirated versions or something.

First 1up reviewer cant see the ALERTS after every unit and building is finished.. and now this dude cant kill a mage?? Come on now.. Ive killed mages with one or two units.. he cant do it with a huge group?

Well it's in French but here is the link : http://www.gamekult.com/tout/jeux/fiches/J000093507_test.html.

So 3/10 for a a guy who either just look 1 mn in the game or just read what someone else wrote somewhere.That's my only explanation.

Ok thats fine.. but what about him saying there is NO ALERTS WHEN YOU FINISH TRAINING UNITS OR BUILDINGS?

Thats ridicolous.. the first thing I saw when i started this game up (after building a city and making some units/buildings, was I saw the NOTICE/ALERTS about what has been made...

This dude says its not in the game or that he didnt notice them? How can you say something is not in the game when it is? There are alerts when you make stuf.. in all the versions... makes no sense to me for reviewers to complain about things when they are actually in the game if they look hard enough!

Wow, that Neoseeker review comes off like a sale pitch or an overly enthusiastic pamphlet.

I'm glad the "reviewer" liked it, but not a single mention of the bland and gimpy magic system, ridiculously ineffectual champions, dearth of unit choices, lack of meaningful faction differences, broken combat mechanics and so on.

Ruined your day huh?

Nope just seems odd in comparison to the other reviews and the reactions of this site's own fans and posters.

I understand though, we are only allowed to challenge bad reviews as being written by tools of some shadow gaming conspiracy and absurdly high outliers must be accepted as gospel.

Nah, I don't agree its a 9 game, I just like getting you mouth foaming fanatics angry:)

Honestly, I was more trying to suppress guffaws while I read it...  so outside of the immorality of turning in such a non-review (thus lying to his boss about work done and deceiving the buying public as to gamebreaking issues) I appreciate the inherent comedy.

Then again, given your aggressive response, is it possible you were said reviewer Rune?  If so, good game...  you got a chuckle outta me.

Just for the record, RPS, along with Tom Chick, are probably the two most honest and compelling gaming journalism sites in the business today. They take their jobs and their roles as journalists seriously and treat the subject with some degree of integrity.  RPS will never give a numerical score, and they will never even do a review--what they will do is cover their experience with the game over different lengths of time for a number of weeks, beginning with a "first impressions" and ending with a kind of "here's what I think."  They usually include some "let's play..." kind of material in the interim.

This is why I only ever bother with these two sites any more.

Wait are you suggesting that Rune_74 and Rossanderson48 are the same person?

Heresy!

Again though remember a review is only an opinion and we ALL have different opinions. This is why I never take much stock in reviews. Now if alot of reviews give something a SUPER low score I will approach with caution, but at the same time there have been a few games that places like IGN gave 6's or 7's that I found to be enjoyable and worth the money to play through.
