CHARIOT WARS Reviews

This is truly a masterpiece of the gaming industry! A very dynamic, fast and beautiful action rpg bagel with elements of strategy, crafting and visual novel.The graphics are made at the highest level, you can enjoy it for several hours in a row and not even notice it. A wonderful game design is complemented by an interesting story of the main character, everything is done in the best traditions of ancient drama. The very spirit of antiquity in this game is present in every detail, from lighting to dust that flies from the wheels of chariots. I boldly recommend this game to you all, and also suggest nominating it for the game of this century

If this were properly patched, it could have been a decent budget game with quality art for the included murder mystery plot. Sadly, the latter quarter of Chariot Wars still contains major bugs that used to be present through the entire game, wherein the AI competitors can pass you on the leaderboard and win the races while in actuality being far behind you. I spent far too many times replaying those last races to earn the final achievements for story mode, only finding out later on you're better off placing worse on the track as the AI then thinks you maybe deserve a chance at coming in first on the rigged placings. Note those of you considering buying Chariot Wars for an easy 100% would be best to avoid it, as it still contains achievements for the multiplayer mode which hasn't worked in a looong time due to it requiring connection to a server the developer has long since taken down.

Watch intro which lasts 5+ minutes and cuts off before its' conclusion. Start my first race, the AI pull ahead. The AI swap positions with each other off screen. Catch up with said AI, and they are in a perfect line, no swapping of positions. But, still shows AI swapping positions on the side bar? Insert confusion. Pass some chariots - shows me in last position. Pass all chariots, cross the start/finish line first, tells me I lost. Insert more confusion. Restart race... The AI start climbing up the scenery and doing doughnuts. Then I fall through the world, and the game stutters to only 2 or 3 fps. Restart race again... Eventually win the race - Proceed to read comic/story/plot? Let's try out multiplayer! Can't sign up - can't log in - can't play multiplayer. Uninstall. I give this 10 horse apples out of 10.
