A complete waste of time & money – Slitherine's Legion Review

First of all, I love strategy games, and I don't like them easy. This game however is a complete joke. There is absolutely nothing strategical or tactical about it. The resource model is a joke with only 3 resources, but nowhere to trade surpluses for resources that you lack. The armies are stupid. Before a battle, you have to place your armies on a map, but from there they will only move forwards. No really basic stuff like flanking is possible. And once you give the go for battle, you can't give directions anymore, just watch your army move forward and meet the enemy. This model makes winning battles not about being smart, but basically the biggest army wins. Terrains features are included, but can't be used.. So you can't really post those archers in the hill top or lure the enemy's cavalry into the woods.. So what's the point of having them to start with? I could go on and on about how poorly this has been developed.. I was looking forward to some kind of Europa Universalis or Rome Total War for the iPad, but this game is just a very poor effort with no depth at all. Certainly not worth the money they're charging, so avoid at all costs.
