With that in mind, it can also create a feeling of hopelessness, if most of your characters are dead or weak, and you can see the way out: Through an army of pissed-off, full health Vikings. However, enemies only move when you’re in their threat area/when they’re engaged, so that takes some of the tactical aspect out of it. It’s a game about speed, positioning, playing pieces and moving them into the right spot and letting battle happen. Except in multiplayer I imagine, that will probably be a lot more balanced, a lot more fair. That is one of the downsides to this game that I’ve seen the difficulty curve is very very steep. It only works once though from what I’ve seen. These units do not heal as the map goes on, unless you reach an Obelisk, which heals your units that are still alive. That means I can drop a stun ability, then heal, move back, place a shield Viking into the frontline, and resume combat. You can’t just spam casting cards into play, but some of them, your unique cards, do not require a casting cost, for which I am infinitely grateful. When you click on a unit or move them, their card is visible, slightly away from the main hand of cards. I’m glad the decks are kind of small though, and the specialty cards for each unit do not factor in.
You click on them when you’re close, and it shows you your next destination/goal. There are also cards on the map itself, placed in plain sight. I do think the Healing Card is a bit pricey though. That’s basically your resource, which goes up as you murder other pieces on the field of battle. On the bottom middle of your map you have a Gold counter, and the number next to that has a cool symbol, which will have a number by it. As the map progresses you can use them again though they have a cost that is paid in blood. You build a deck of cards to go with your team of Vikings, whether they are strategy cards like laying traps, powers of the Gods, hunting horns, or a healing card, you can grab five that you can take into battle with you. They also come with a specialty card that they use, one of four that you can select.Ĭards, though? What’s that about cards? This is a board game and it has cards too!? Yes! Yes it does! The UI features dice, but do not appear in the game. You can however, re-equip them with new gear, new shields, axes, polearms, skull-helmets. And you can reset them! It doesn’t change if they’re ranged, or Axe/Shield/Dual Axe wielders, but it does let you adjust their stats to your liking. However, each piece you can set their stats, what you want them to focus on. There’s RNG to take into account for, which can be incredibly frustrating. Not to mention that you have no real control over combat, since they are minfigs. It can however become incredibly easy to lose your pieces, or get distracted by moving up and down areas, due to the 3D nature of this game. It’s even harder when the board spawns more and more figures.
As you plot and plan your moves, enemies pieces are moving towards you. I have to say, this is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played. They look almost real! When people say “Easy to learn, hard to master,” this is the game they really mean. You can enter caves, move up and down mountain paths, destroy boats, harvest/destroy resources. Each stage is its own Battle Board, and with the mouse you can swing the board around and around, get a good look at all of the wonderful details they put into this game. I have to say also, that these 3D maps are absolutely striking. This is still in Early Access, so bugfixes, updates, more Battle Boards and content is surely on the way. It’s an RTS board game with minifigs! That sounds like a mouthful, but kudos to Playtime Project for spending years creating what is a gorgeous and intriguing game. Don’t be mistaken! Wartile goes down in the real-time. It does not appear to have any way to buy pieces online either, you have to earn them, so it will come down to people who invest time and get good. So what does that have to do with Wartile? Well, that’s a great question! Wartile is part mini-fig game, part 3-D board game! You pick a few minifigs based on Viking badasses, and place them on a board with particular goals, such as “acquire the skull of Hel,” or “destroy all of your foes.” It also has an online multiplayer component to unlock, so you can play against your friends minifigs online, which is just beautiful. The good pieces are always… always expensive. It’s kind of a minifig game, right? The downside though is that they are incredibly expensive to play. I know I can’t be the only person who remembers Minifig games like Hero Clix, the D&D one, or you know… Warhammer.
