Chieftain Reviews

Umm... yeah. A decent game. Decently enraging. The game sucks as of now, so I will present some defects and suggestions for the dev (mixed up) below this (in a pastebin since somehow the POST button disappears if my message is long, without warning). If you are a passerby just do not touch that "Purchase" button... for now. https://pastebin.com/X4fhsJ8M #Little update: The graphics were updated. The last thing I wanted the dev to focus on. Anyway, now coming back to the game... the music fits very well and might be one of the few + points, and I'm sorry to not have mentioned (at least) it.

When I first got this game I played it for like 3 hours and never played again until recently because it was too hard for me to play (probably cause I didn't understand how to do stuff properly). But since playing recently I actually really like it! It's fun and can be frustrating at times because of the AI, but it's cool to see your faction that you made thrive and dominate the other factions. Although there are a few things I don't like such as having to look around the map for factions that declared war on you and also the AI for declaring war on you even though they are weak and on the opposite end of the map from you. Overall it's a fun and interesting game for only 5 bucks.

Okay but its sometimes sluggish and repetative. GET IT ON SALE RATING 7/10

Clean game so far, clunky but clean, I mean it was only $5. I will say it's dumb that the game claims that very few units can defeat the knight unit (which is wild expensive), but mine gets cut from 30 to 5 against ONE goblin crossbow unit... like come one... that's not even a historically accurate representation of unit strengths. Some balancing issues still definitely present.. but again... it was $5, which honestly, its mad decent for $5.

Decent game. It is essentially a combination of Civilization and Total War, though not as good as either. I encountered a few problems with the controls (UI elements being unresponsive to the mouse, mainly, though the camera controls in the battle sequences are awful), and the AI is not good (dumb as dirt on the overworld, always reacts the same in battles, etc.). Still, despite these shortcomings, I feel like this is a pretty okay game, especially if you grab it during a sale. I love 4X games, so I am willing to overlook some flaws, and I like the random worlds/factions and fantasy themes/races a lot. If you are not so much a fan of strategy games, this game will not change your opinion. I recommend it to others who like the genre.

Nice little game for the price, I think it has a HUGE amount of potential, the new graphic updates shows a sign of love for his game and a good sign from the developer. I haven't had tech issues yet though their complaints of them, regardless, hopefully the developer will continue to tweak and polish what could be a very nice little game, it's fun as is and I think it can be a great little piece of work if the dev keeps working on it. I've enjoyed the mechanics, especially faction customization, and I think it could be a very nice little game. Here's to hoping it continues to improve.

Unfortunately, I must advise people not to buy this game. It looked promising, as a sort of Total War/Civilization low-poly hybrid. It is a very small game and did not take long to download, so I was able to start playing immediately. With that being said, I was able to experience all of it's many flaws and bugs immediately. So what's good about the game? -It is in fact a TW/Civ hybrid, and that's quite fun if you're into that game. -It's not an intensive game so most computers can run it. -Neat concept, not original, but interesting nonetheless Ok, so that's what it had going for it, here's what it didn't have going for it: -Uninteresting factions. -Confused AI (They would declare war, then ask for a peace treaty, then buff up and declare war, then ask for a peace treaty, all in the matter of a few turns). -Buggy real-time play. -Freezes occasionally. -Buggy gameplay overall (Settlers won't settle, builders won't build, all of that jazz) -Camera bugs All in all I'm upset I didn't get to enjoy this game, it seemed that it would be much more fun, but the bugs got the best of it.

So when I got the game I was pretty excited to try something new and to my suprised I like it! getting to choose your faction's race and name it to whatever you want is really cool I like how you mix civ and total war elements and I love it but the one thing I hate are the camera controls it too wonky for me but thats my opinion. A game like this is something I wanted from a total war game but never got it so if anyone sees this review you should try its $5.00 and I think you'll enjoy it.

I know I only have about an hour on record but that's sadly because I felt I saw everything there was. Is that bad? No, not at all given the circumstances of this game. My main gripe with it is usability I don't know If I'm just stupid (its a fair possiblity) or what because I couldn't figure out the camera beyond rotation, zoom and strafe. I also feel that a keybind window or just a place to veiw the controls would be helpfull in this regaurd. Beyond that Its really just add more stuff and polish. But this is definetly a game I will be following. For those who want to know what it is its prettymuch a love child between total war and Civ. The things I would love to see in the future possibly implemented (Mind you these are ideas and I understand that if they are done it could take ages I have no problem with that) -Tech Tree -Multiplayer (And not like master of orion did it where it forced auto battle) -Unit costomization But in summary a really intresting game and I am sure that no matter where it goes it has the potential to be a wonderful title. So for a young indie game I highly recomend it.

Man, I'm sorry. I HATE to do this because it's such a neat game, kind of a Civ Lite. Battle resolution needs a TON of work. Outnumbered *peasants* defeated my knights. And when the battle was down to my 87 troops to the enemy's (fleeing) 5, I clicked auto-resolve to get it over with -- and LOST. Please fix the battle resolution. It's just plain bad.
