However, for the most part, you will just be looking to do lots of damage as quickly as possible. There are a few other tactical decisions, such as the option to forgo attacking to defend or utilising characters’ special ability. You tap on a space to move your character, and then attack if you are able, before your opponent takes their turn. Shaded spaces appear around each unit when it is their turn, dictating their range of movement on the hexagonal grid. This makes the already intuitive battle system almost second nature from the start. This combination of archetypal characters and clear design mean that, by the time you enter battle, half your work is already done, as you instinctively know units’ strengths and weaknesses. Before long you will have recruited farmers, wizards, and a host of other fantasy stereotypes.īraveland's clean visual style ensures that each of these units can be told apart at a glance.

Even before you are treated to their tutorial, you know exactly what their role will be. The fantasy setting works as a fantastic shorthand for each new unit found. Taking control of the would-be town hero, you fast begin to form a troop of militia from the world’s friendlier inhabitants. It is a wonderfully predictable fantasy story, but one that sets the perfect stage for Braveland's turn-based strategic gameplay. With everything he holds dear ripped from him, he dons his father's armour and heads after them. A young man's village attacked by bandits. It wasn’t a terrible experience but when Braveland had something going for it, not enough focus seemed to be placed into it.Braveland embraces its cliched fantasy setting with a gusto we usually reserve for our first coffee of the day. At the asking price of $14.99, it feels like a lot to spend on a so-so title, even if it breaks down to about $5.00 a game. M y time with Braveland Trilogy was enjoyable however it still felt like there could have been a lot more done to add variety to the games. If you were to shuffle the games together and play a level from Warriors, then one from Wizards, followed by one from Pirates it would be hard to tell one from the other. The other two titles in the pack, Wizards, and Pirates respectively, was a move of the same and failed to really bring anything new to the titles. There wasn’t a variety of magical spells or weapons at all just seemed very much the same. The overall dialog and story were nothing to jump for joy about either.Ĭharacters basically have two options: a regular attack or some sort of power attack that would regenerate over time. The further I got into the game the less it felt like I was making progress it just seemed like the same thing over and over again.

Many characters seem to be reskinned or reused from various games. Not too many of the changes were enough to make each individual battlefield feel different. Such as a sawed-off tree or broken fences. However, the changes made were slight visual changes. Of course, the developers tried to make each level distinct. While playing through the game I failed to see the difference between the battlefields. Having the main leader who’s overall stats effect that of the army he was controlling was an interesting touch, however, it still felt like the game was missing something. The gameplay is adjustable from easy to hard so players can set it to their skill level. However at the end of the battle if you win for the cost of coins you can gain that number back.īraveland has all that can be expected of a strategy RPG. If a unit loses all members of your squad that unit is finished until the next battle. When in battle and attacked the unit loses all of its HP during an attack you will lose one from that number of the squad count. Each unit has a number below them that tells how many units are in the Squad. Within 10 minutes of gameplay, you’ll pick up more characters such as villagers and as well as archers. They’re fairly easy and simple explanations that teach you the basics of the game.
