It's sort of okay, but not great. There are numerous spelling and grammatical errors that could have trivially been addressed by any developer worth his salt. So I really wonder if I'm wasting my time trying to see if there's anything worthwhile in here. The humor in the artwork and the music are pluses and the cards used in battle are nice, but after reading other negative reviews I'm wondering if I made a mistake buying this in early access. The jury is out though, so I'll have to write more if I try to play a full game. I've had this for years while it was in EA and it was too hard to play back then, mostly because the tutorial was missing. So I can at least say the game has improved a lot by the time it was released. What I really like: The economic mechanics (i.e. allocating workers and moving around resources to build up armies) feel a little more detail-oriented than other TBS games. It scratches a certain micromanaging itch that I enjoy, and that I haven't seen (or if I've seen it in other games, I just haven't noticed). It requires a lot of fine-tuning, and forward thinking and tinkering to get it right. "Buy more beer" can make or break a kingdom.

If Battle Brother and Total War had a baby this would be it. The two German Brothers that made this game did a great job on their first major title. There are a few bugs still when the map gets busy but nothing major. keep up the good work I enjoyed my 60 plus hours and loved the art style. Next time please triple the verity of music that play in the background.

Very fun game in general , feels like 4x without the same commitment required per match The story campaign is actually pretty good , but the it can overwhelm you quickly if you aren't at least decently min maxing, especially some of the mid missions are hard but very enjoyable The game can be a little buggy but overall it doesn't hamper the experience too much The only fault I find is that it can get tedious in the later rounds , especially on story mode

A few annoying bugs aside, this game takes most of what made the old <Lords of the realms> series good and discarded the bad elements. I really like the change from real time combat to turn based. Also the combat card system adds a lot to the combat keeping it fresh and fun for longer. Discarding the cumbersome seiges was another wise move and incorporating fortifications into the regular battles was a good decision. All in all, if you liked games like Lords of the realms you will like Rising lords. Like the old series, but better.

Solid game with simple yet pleasant economy and combat mechanics. After playing through the story (until mission 5 where I hit a gamebreaking bug and got stuck), and then playing through a custom scenario, I'd say it was worth the $20 to me. I do wish there was a bit more depth (ie. more overworld mechanics, more unit types for combat), which would probably keep me playing longer, but it was still fun overall.
