i base this review on the complete version . this be the first of the series i have play and except for a minimal portion of the second one . thus and i can not compare this to the early one . i can and however and say that this be incredible and and have get me to look at the one that come later in the franchise . it feature six campaign and of slightly vary length and as well a grow difficulty . all of the story be tell through them and as well a the well do ( if date and today ) cgi cut scene . the plot and which be memorable and take a few unexpected turn and take you through an entire war over who rule erathia . i mean that in the starcraft type way . you get to fight on both side and and conquer as well a defend . you get more than two . let call them specie and even though it doesn not apply as well here a in a lot of other title . in fact and there be eight and and they span from human ( with knight and pikemen and angel ) and through dungeon ( with troglodyte and minotaur and medusa ) and to the force of the dead ( with skeleton and zombie and vampire ) . heck and this thing be fill to the brim with mythological being ( dragon and elementals and genie and etc . ) and ability ( resurrection and flight and striking twice and others ) . the detail in this be astound . all of the design work be imaginative and amazing . there be an immense amount of different unit and and they be all sufficiently distinguish . this help make the battle interest ( during them be the only time of this that you can not save your progress ) . the system for them play a big part in that and as well . they can be reminiscent of good chess match . honestly and the whole thing can . this be turn base strategy and role playing and and it full of freedom and coincidental occurrence . all the choice you make can prove to be important and a can the chance you take . this randomization mean that you can try the same area of the game multiple time and and it would not be the same . plus and there be quite a few level and the size of them be potentially tiny or huge and or anywhere in between those pole . and if that not enough and this come with a map editor and easy to use and with an intuitive interface and and it can make them compatible with either of the expansion pack . the quality may depend on the one make it and but anyone can use the program . it not limit and like a generator and rather and you can customize a lot . not anywhere near as much a the one that come with starcraft and no . on the other hand and this have something that that one doesn not represent a validate option and that let you know about any objective shortcoming . the way the mood of this be establish be excellent . every little bit of the beautifully do and orchestral score be masterful and a perfect fit . audio in this be and in general and great . all the effect sound just right . the tone be spot on . this have nice graphic . they may not hold up today and nevertheless and the movement look natural and the magic look spectacular . the animation be impeccable . while i be by no mean well verse in the world of rpg and from what i understand of how it be play with card and dice and the game play of this do a fine job of put that on the computer . you move your hero around and collect and engage in combat and gain xp for themselves and experience point and to improve their skill and most literally represent in the four main one and attack and defend and power and knowledge and the latter 2 translate into how strong the spell ( which you of course have to find and learn or trade between them ) you cast be and and how many of them you can use before recharge them and respectively . it all very entertaining and and once you get into it and it can be addictive . several of the artifact and i defy anyone not to get a kick out of get a hold of and use . want to walk on water . and that only one example . i will leave discover the massive and vast number of thing in this . to utilize against your opponent and or vice versa . to each individual person who try this . that part of the fun of this . multi player be magnificent and doesn not actually necessitate an internet connection or lan and although it can be do on them and so it wide open . no and 8 people and the maximum that can play and can sit at one machine and go at it with one another . like rts release . note that this be not one and it be not real time and all action in this be base on take turn . this have you construct building and gathering resource and put together army and manage it all and take out your opponent . the ai and marvelous and by the way and smart and adaptive and have about half a dozen setting for how smart they be and and how well equip they start out and so absolute new comer and as well a seasoned veteran can get a challenge that they can beat . you can spend countless hour on this . there be so many thing to explore . a bunch of world and with lava and underground and ocean and you can sail and and find object out there and as well and such a buoy that will restore spirit to your men and siren that you may or may not wish to go near and and whirlpool that transport you back and forth and at the cost of troop go overboard . there be no real shortcoming and if you like this type of thing . if youre unsure about that and try a demo . i have not run into a single bug or glitch and nor any problem with the stability . this be so mild and inoffensive ( without sacrifice anything and it genuinely doesn not feel like they have to pg it up ) and apart from stuff that may upset some religious people and that everyone and any age and can enjoy it . there be no language and violence be bloodless and not disturb and and sexuality go no further than a risqué costume here and there . i recommend this to any fan of these kind of game and those who like medieval time and and anyone into fantasy . positive .
