The game provides exactly one sound for when units are killed, one for when units meet in melee, one for when horse-mounted cavalry move in the environment, so on and so forth. Slogging Through the MudĪmong the worst sins of this game are the battle sounds. Hexwar forgoes skill trees, and offers precious little in the way of leveling up your units or ways to exploit the environment to your advantage.
Unfortunately, when it comes to gameplay, the game sacrifices much of what players of the RTS genre enjoy on the pyre of simplicity. The music is unobtrusive but evocative of the period. The developers have adorned the home screen, menus and loading screen with artwork evoking the period and script fonts that look the part of notes written in the 1300s. In terms of immersion and atmosphere leading into your conquests, 100 Years’ War shines. The game is surprisingly educational and well-researched given its status as a budget title from a small indie developer. These aren’t fantastical scenarios dreamed up by the developer, but rather real conflicts that happened during England’s 100 Years’ war. There’s even more battle to be had in either of the $1.99 expansions.Įach battle you fight is given its historical context on the loading screen. With the option to fight battles from both sides, Hexwar’s RTS offers up two dozen skirmishes to win and multiple paths to victory as you learn to master different units and exploit their strengths. Less Total War: Rome than Total War: Phone, 100 Years’ war offers a good deal of conquest to be had in this $2.99 title.
