Game Review: Warlords Battle Simulator

This Tactical Roguelike Auto Battler is a unique and engaging experience that brings a fresh twist to strategy games. Combining tactical depth with roguelike unpredictability, it challenges players to think critically about positioning, unit synergies, and adaptive strategies. With three distinct modes - Roguelike, Challenges, and Sandbox - it offers plenty of content to keep both casual and hardcore players entertained.

Strengths:

Varied Gameplay Modes: The Roguelike mode is the star of the show, offering an evolving and unpredictable narrative. The over 100 challenges add replayability and teach specific mechanics, while the Sandbox tool allows for creative experimentation.
Strategic Depth: Success hinges on careful planning and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of units. This keeps battles engaging and forces players to adapt to new situations.
Replayability: The game's roguelike nature, combined with numerous challenges, ensures that no two playthroughs feel the same.
Areas for Improvement: While the game is undoubtedly fun and innovative, some aspects could be improved to enhance accessibility and reduce frustration, particularly for players stuck on more challenging levels.

Hints and Unit Information: A hint system for missions or more detailed information about units’ strengths and weaknesses would be immensely helpful. For instance, knowing explicitly what types of enemies a unit counters or struggles against could save players from frustrating trial-and-error gameplay.
Balance Issues: Certain levels, seem disproportionately difficult compared to the progression leading up to them. While difficulty spikes can be expected, they should be more clearly telegraphed or manageable through skillful play.
Player Frustration Example: In a feedback provided, a player detailed their struggle with a specific mission involving orc archers and peons. Despite experimenting with different unit compositions, including the newly introduced mages, they were unable to progress. This frustration, compounded by the lack of guidance, detracts from the otherwise enjoyable experience. A simple tooltip suggesting effective strategies or adjustments to balance could resolve such pain points.

Conclusion: This Tactical Roguelike Auto Battler delivers a compelling mix of strategy and roguelike gameplay, making it a standout in its genre. However, minor adjustments to player guidance and mission balance would significantly elevate the experience. Despite these setbacks, the game remains highly enjoyable and worth playing for fans of strategic and roguelike genres. I love it!

Rating: 8/10
With improvements to guidance and balance, this could easily be a 9 or 10!

This is bad in every aspect. Lag, bad recoil, cheaters, bad movement, shooting while running, AWP changes, community, impossible to play with your gun on the left side... the game is just bad.

Don't play it, it's a waste of your time. I hate the game and don't recommend it.

Very fun game! I love the levels and the mechanics! Fun to play with friends!

When is the game's final version available? It seemed a little short to me, but I loved it!

This game is delightful, with cativating quests, pretty graphics, funny adventures and just the right amount of complexity. You can craft items, buy a house, grow your farm and build your reputation! How fun is that in a 2D game that we can play with friends?

Very happy with the game. I do get a little upset sometimes about small things, but that is my competitive behaviour. The soundtrack is fun, but gets repetitive after a while in the same area. I would love to have a little bit more diversity on that.

Also, the regeneration of hp is confusing among other details regarding game mechanics. Maybe make it a little more clear, tutorial or instructions maybe?

Something I didn't enjoy and I think it's important to me, is when finishing a quest, if, by mistake, we want to go to the inventory and come back to chat with a certain character, you lose the ability to re-read what the response was. There is no log or ability to review what has been done. I think that could be a huge improvement and doesn't seem too hard to apply.

Other than that, I loved the game! Please, don't stop here. Make it grow!

This is my jam!

The character accel and movement speed are very high.
This game does not support controller.
The hitboxes are extremly bad and awful, making the experience very unpleasent.

My first suggestion would be, fix the hitboxes in general. It's very bad.

At this stage, I don't recommend this game. I find it offensive to think that this game is a finished product.

Funny puzzle game. Some enigmas are purely random and have no logic whatsoever, and that annoyed me a little. But since it's free, I give it a pass.

My advice, once you get stucked in something that might seem stupid, probably it's better to just watch a youtube video instead of painting all castle just to find that a particular object can get painted and will trigger some event. Enjoy!

No spoilers! Feel free to read.

First:
- I have ended the game on HARD mode to better understand the mechanics.
- I allowed myself to fully emerge within the game's atmosphere.

The game is amazing, I have to say. From the game's sound track, graphics, freedom... the history. Nothing to point out. There are bugs which worried me, but I see developers fixing them as it goes.

What worries me? Honestly...

I can't wait until we have access to the free DLC's and Multiplayer, but I'm affraid it might come just a little too late - game's longevity is at risk because of this - how long will we have to wait until we get some really good news?

Anyway, it was one hell of a ride and I would love to see this game stay around for many years!

It would be a pity if there was to be no follow-up ...

The good:
It's a slow paced game with some interesting mechanics and a great potential.

The bad:
It lacks some components/basic stuff that should be included in the original game and forcing people to pay for DLCs. I bought plenty of DLCs, and I still find the game bad - I felt robbed.

For example: The quads ... yes, the developers think you should walk around for miles/kilometers instead of providing you a bike/quad. How is it possible to launch a DLC to have access to such a basic accessory?... and with the aggravation of having such a horrendous sound quality, that becomes impossible to ride the bike with sound.

The tutorial? Extremly poor.

In my opinion, this games lacks so much polishment that it becomes pathetic to even play it.

I'm sorry, but this is an unfinished product and with too many defects in my opinion. I don't like the game.

Maybe they might change something in the future, and I might give it another try.
