Summary
Point-and-click strategy games have been strictly committed to the PC platform in recent years. This is perhaps due to the availability of a mouse and keyboard, who can say? The latest product to support this theory is Warlords Battlecry. Released on PC, this strategy/role playing game shows everything a PC fan would expect from a game of this genre.
This particular strategy game involves your main character exploring huge environments with an army of followers. Landscapes are 2D, but of a very high resolution, and the on-screen warriors are well constructed and well animated. The game’s restricted 2D capabilities allow for some spectacularly populated battle scenes, mixed with a plethora a beautiful magic spells and special effects.
There are a number of game modes to participate in, including campaign, skirmish and Internet play. You can fight against some of the top warriors, mages and priests across the globe, provided you have Internet access. With a vast bestiary of game options, weaponry and magic, Warlords Battlecry should hold a position in the strategy genre quite respectably.
