Video Game Reviews of Armies of Exigo
Customer Review: Get Warcraft Instead
Summary: 3 Stars
If you don't have Warcraft III, get it instead of this game. If you do have Warcraft III, well, you don't need to get this game anyway.
Alot was poured into the graphics, and you can tell just by looking at the game. Textures are nicely details and environments are well done. Units are good too. No complaints here.
Gameplay is where this game falls short. Really short. It plays more like a game from 1998 than 2004. It is your basic Warcraft Clone, that was dumbed down in terms of gameplay. Another complaint is the artificial intelligence. It multi-tasks so efficiently, that it is almost impossible to match its micromanagement. This makes the game extremely hard even on the "easy" setting.
Story is actually good, there is the empire, which are your strong and sophisticated humans. Another faction is the Beast, which are orcs, goblins and ogres. Finnally there is the Shadow, which play exactly like the undead in Warcraft. These three factions come together in a war for some reason (you are never told why) and they basically fight for survival.
Sound doesn't really make an impression.
Multiplayer is very glitched and unclean.
