VERY BADLY OPTIMIZED.
I can run games like dota 2 or total war games on medium to full graphics but I can't even run this game on low settings without choking my pc?
These people need to warn us about bad coding before scamming us by putting up fake "required specs" for the game.
When i first bought the game it was riddled with bugs but it was playable. Now after som major patches and the new 1.2 patch wich will fix the pathfinding i rate this game at a solid 7. I will see if it will get better or not. But its way better than the launch of the game.
P.S The developers really care what the community thinks and wants wich is always a really good sign.
I give this game a 3 and not a 1 only because I wasn't actually able to play when I booted it up. After waiting around a half hour for it to reach the Main Menu I was greeted by enormous amounts of lag that I could not avoid by switching the graphics to the lowest settings... speaking of which, the graphics in this game are nothing spectacular and appear dated by around 6 or 7 years. That's not to say it takes anything from the game mechanics, of course, just I don't see why it would perform so poorly; I rather think they should have opted for something even simpler and optimized it more efficiently.
Now, when I tried to actually play a game was when things got tricky. First I tried the tutorial - the loading screen took me another 10 or so minutes before it dropped me in. Plenty of lag at first but it all settled down... then I tried to perform a simple objective: "Select the barracks and train Swordsmen." Easy enough, you'd think. However upon selecting said trained Swordsmen I was instantly deafened by the 20db of their horrible call to be directed. After my initial shock and a soft massaging of my sensitive eardrum I clicked the unit again, still the audio clipped well beyond acceptable volume levels. I clicked another unit, no clipping. Swordsman, clipping. I turned the game audio down which solved the problem for about a minute... then I was deafened yet again.
At this point I quit the game, reopened and tried the online campaign, the loading time of which was around 10 minutes. All the audio outside music was now clipping, and nothing I could do would remedy the problem. The game was lagging every 5 or so frames, and I had to Alt+F4 out just to quit the game and avoid sitting there for another 10 minutes waiting to get to the main menu.
This could be a really great game, but for me it was absolutely unplayable and what I saw was fairly unremarkable. A very 'buyer beware' title in my opinion.
A very enjoyable game but need a few changes befor i can give it 9/10
Game is really good!! Soon to be released on Steam also! Should really take off then.
This is game is awesome....its like age of empires with rpg elements and the fact that its an online mmo
looks great
Fun game with a good idea. Needs minor improvements to things such as AI and pathfinding. The game is released but the devs are very good with weekly updates adding and improving.
good
