Battles in Time

Good strategic-tactical game with lots of unique twists; the usual thorough QQP head-to-head support. Larger armies tend to move woefully slowly in the strategic section. Lots of replay value and an innovative design make this a truly entertaining wargame.

So ist das Spiel nur denen zu empfehlen, die mit den versteckten Qualitäten auch etwas anfangen können - Normalsterbliche werden's langweilig finden.

All in all, I'd say that Battles in Time will attract those who already love the strategy genre. Those who have not tried combat simulations before might want to try others first. The AI is good, but the plot behind it calls for a true multiplayer game. The final battle with aliens is meant to be fought in cooperation with the other candidates you went back in time with. I cannot imagine playing with three other people at the same computer, and the limitation of one human player with modem play is too confining. Finally, the time it takes to complete some scenarios is too daunting. If you don't enable any of the autoplay options, a single scenario could concievably take a good part of the day.

Battles in Time är ett småtrevlig strategispel, kanske inget nytt, men jag hade rätt kul när jag testade det. Ni som spelade Perfect General, också det producerat av QQP, kommer att känna igen er lite.
