When I tried with it, I immediately thought of titles like her billions, Warcraft 3, diplomy is not an option, age of darkness: final score, throne, cataclet and spells. This places the game in a more niche group by titles of the strategy genre. In order to evaluate Squarit's work, you must appreciate both the real strategy and the game game.
In there, we take on the role of a hero whose fate is to save his world from destruction. We have to explore the aganor continent and defend it with wood, stone and iron. First of all, we mainly become dangerous animals of nature and orcs. However, this will change quickly and we will be forced to survive hordes of skeletons and demons. In this title you check a powerful character that you can improve and develop during the campaign missions. The progress remains in the following mission. Although you start as a magician, you will get access to other characters and more buildings over time.
Unfortunately, the story is nothing out of the other world. Set all clichés of the fantasy genre before the campaign reached half. Developers admit that this is the idea, but it doesn't work at all. I have never been so committed or interested in events. We never get to know that the depth and experience are not as interesting as in Warcraft III. However, I can ignore it because it is an indie title, and despite my criticism, I have appreciated certain aspects of the construction of the world. I also miss a little more strength in language performance. This is because the story in kinematics is explained by a narrator who talks about black and white images. Although it can also be because the script did not impress me.
If you want a more direct experience, you can try out the survival mode instead of the game mode, which focuses on history. The map on which you choose the missions is very nice to see. It's a shame that the game is not inspired by this design. In this game mode we travel to several destroyed cities that we have to rebuild. A certain number of nights are survived at each level. The possibility of choosing your hero's class and building everything up really enables you to deepen tactical strategies and decisions. This is particularly noticeable during the day when you have to collect resources and send your heroes to various missions. The mighty hero has many skills and artifacts to protect their basis or improve aspects of its construction. At night the enemy will try to destroy its basis, which means that they have to concentrate fully on survival.

When your city grows, there are many things to manage. The resources, including those that you can find in the corpses of the defeated enemies, can be used to build houses and recruit troops. Some buildings can refine these materials and convert them into others, which makes it possible to build more advanced structures. In some aspects, the resource system is similar to that of Anno von Ubisoft. For example, you have to turn wood into boards or coal. I like that you can put a lot of wood or stone to be processed. As with most modern strategy games, you can also adapt the speed. Which can be useful if too many things are to be done at the same time.
I think the composition of functions, such as B. the defense of the bases and the search for artifacts with their hero works well. Although I do not agree to the artistic and design style, you can differentiate your troops, heroes and buildings on the map. The user interface is clear and easy to interpret. What helps if you quickly have to place many buildings and houses to get more soldiers. In addition, you can quickly see how many resources you have and how many you need. The costs in this game are quite high, which forces you to constantly decide whether you want to have more buildings that increase resources, expand your building area with lights or invest in defense.

I soon realized that the funniest aspect of a mission occurred around halfway. As soon as you have set up your base, you have improved your hero a few times and you started defending, everything fits. They expand, defend and enter a rhythm that is fun. At this point, you also choose which types of advanced units create or not. They are faces and require special resources after refining wood or stone. In some cases, they have to leave and defeat bosses from environments to access certain rare resources. Unfortunately, the beginning and the end can sometimes be a little long and repeating. This is because in most cases you can access the same pattern and towards the end.
The nights are probably my favorite part because it looks very little in the world. This forces them to protect their strength and to put lights around the world. A new level of difficulty is added every night. As you can imagine, there is a lot to do during the missions and outside of them. If you do not want to dare in the campaign or in survival mode, you can create your own game levels with a powerful and simple tool. I think that will give the title longevity.
The game visually reminds that diplomy is not an option. Simple and rustic 3D graphics are not very pleasant in sight. I would have preferred something more attractive about the graphic style. In this category, Age of Darkness: End stood or they are billions, do it much better. This is a problem from me because the rustic and blocked graphics styles interfere a little. I think Squarenit would have won a more unique graphic style. The performance works well with its simplest visual style. However, intensive scenes can cause a decline in the images per second. I also noticed that in the darkest nights, when they show many easy sources, the performance of the game can affect the game with longer missions. Unfortunately, graphic settings are scarce. So if you have performance problems, you don't have many alternatives to adapt the graphics.
As far as the sound is concerned, there is not much to complain. The title receives a decent level of sound for weapons, collisions and soundtrack. To be an indie title of this genre, it sounds pretty decent. What seems a bit disappointing is that the synchronization of the campaign could have sounded a little better. It is difficult to know whether the script or the synchronization carers are due. If you want to create something memorable and outstanding, it is necessary to capture the player, and since the whole game shows kinematics with static pictures and voice -over, this campaign is not successful. However, Squarenit with this title has built up a universe and has all the ways to develop it more with extensions or possible consequences.
Squarenite offers you a competent real strategy game with rolling elements. Despite a somewhat boring graphic style and a current story, I am satisfied with the gameplay. For its gender it offers the right depth amount and the Level editor helps users create new and interesting content. In the middle of titles like you are billions, Warcraft 3, diplomy is not an option, age of darkness: final score, throne, cataklismo and spells. Personally, I believe that the survival mode is the most attractive aspect of the game. This is because it is a good challenge and the opportunity to build it up, contributes to gaining a more interesting experience. If you are curious or like one of the other titles, you should try out the demo version of it.
