Auch der neueste Teil der
Warrior-Kings-Reihe gefällt mir gut. Besonders der
neue »Erobere alle Provinzen«-Modus
samt Bonus-System ist Klasse. Aber nach
wie vor ist mir die Steuerung zu fummelig:
Aus der 3D-Perspektive ist es praktisch
unspielbar. Wegen der unscheinbaren
Grafik und den Steuerungsmacken
wird wohl auch Battles nur ein Geheimtipp
für Genrefans bleiben.

Tja, wat moet je als simpele gamer? Battles biedt nog steeds een heerlijke en verslavende gameplay en zal dan ook menig gamer tientallen uren zoet kunnen houden. Voor iedereen die Warrior Kings zelf al in de kast heeft staan en er van genoten heeft zou ik zeggen: wacht een tijdje tot de prijs daalt. Een leuk en verslavend spel, maar eigenlijk het predikaat sequel niet waardig.

Would you like to be one? A commander of a powerful army of knights, a feared ruler of the known world and the sole wielder of might-makes-right law. Just imagine all the wealth, the plump peasant girls and the perfumed ladies of the court. Would you really like to be a king? Well, you'd have to forget about McDonald's fast food, Coke, and your slave-like devotion to your favorite popular reality shows. Plus, you'll have to put up with a cadre of plotting relatives, peasant rebellions, religious heretics foretelling the downfall of your empire, your lieutenants reporting of shameful defeats of your seemingly invincible army, and a few other minor trifles like plague, famine and no running water. But, if you can look past all that and still want to try your hand at the crown, Black Cactus and Empire Interactive brought us a new RTS which presents all the upsides and downsides of being a king.

Warrior Kings: Battles is the sort of game fans of the genre (like your truly) will sink their teeth into, as there is plenty of depth. However, the game lacks that spark which sets the classics apart from the also-rans. That is not to say you will be disappointed if you buy this game, as it is worth it if you enjoy this sort of thing, just don't expect too much "wow factor."

Worth Playing
After playing the game, I feel that they really need to improve the physics and most aspects of the game, especially the poorly-done camera angles and music. Implementing different objectives would have made this game so much more enjoyable. The game's load time was also extremely long, considering I played it on a Barton 2500+ with 1gb of memory and a GeForce 4 TI 4600. If you're looking for RTS games based in this particular era, you might want to try Empire Earth or Age of Empires, two widely-acclaimed games, or even Praetorians, an extremely tactical RTS for the truly hardcore. This game may have some potential in its features, and even though it tries hard, this release doesn't quite cut it.

Nothing’s more disappointing than a promising game rushed out the door in a half-finished state.
Warrior Kings (PCG rating: 67%) fell squarely into this category, with its many bugs, dizzy pathfinding, and lack of a skirmish mode — but it had enough potential to give us high hopes for the sequel. Sadly, Warrior Kings: Battles mostly just introduces new shortcomings of its own.

Le résultat est donc très mitigé pour ce titre. A la fois, on aimerait mettre une bonne note pour tout l'aspect stratégique, mais les défauts cités dans les deux paragraphes précédents nous rappellent qu'il y a quand même plusieurs éléments qui auraient mérité meilleur traitement. Au final, on ne peut conseiller Warrior Kings : Battles qu'aux adeptes du premier qui trouveront là de quoi retrouver leur univers fétiche. Pour les autres, et pour tous ceux qui veulent s'essayer à la STR, il y a sûrement d'autres jeux bien plus accueillants qui vous tendent les bras. Comme par exemple Warcraft 3. Mince, le nom est lâché. Et moi qui m'étais lancé le défi de ne pas en parler dans ce test !

Individuelle KI statt Story? Für mich ist das ein schlechter Tausch! So großartig unterscheiden sich die Gegner und Missionen nämlich nicht voneinander. Nach einigen Gefechten macht sich Langeweile breit. Auch die mittlerweile veraltete Grafik trägt Mitschuld an der fehlenden Motivation. Einziger Lichtblick sind die neuen Mehrspieleroptionen: Besonders der Valhalla-Modus verspricht actionreiche Spiele, da jeglicher Basis- und Truppenbau entfällt.

GameSpot
Despite its being a follow-up product, Warrior Kings: Battles is a game of unrealized potential. The underlying design is solid, but the execution, particularly the lack of control given to the player, makes the game frustrating to play. The lack of an adequate tutorial and the slow buildup of action also make the game difficult to recommend in light of so many better alternatives in the highly competitive RTS genre. The inclusion of a lengthy campaign and dozens of AI generals to skirmish against certainly gives Warrior Kings: Battles a lot of value out of the box, but whether you'll feel compelled to slog through all of it is another question.

Trop de tout. Trop d'unités, trop de bâtiments, trop d'upgrades, trop de pouvoirs. Beaucoup de bonnes idées aussi, mal mises en valeur dans ce grand chaos. Warrior Kings : Battles reste jouable et intéressant. Mais nous sommes très loin du niveau des meilleurs jeux du moment.

Un RTS tout en 3D dans un univers inspiré directement de l'Europe médiévale, mais légèrement fantastique, permettant grâce à une excellente IA une approche stratégique, voilà qui est prometteur. Et pourtant...
