Personal review

Un juego de estrategia por turnos en un tablero hexagonal, muy similar en mecánica a las últimas entregas de la saga Civilization.

Su especial interés está en la existencia de diversas "razas" de unidades y el uso de hechizos mágicos de todo tipo (tanto de ataque como para influir el terreno)

Peca de no explicar claramente sus elementos (en especial la colonización, que puede ser muy frustrante)

Muy buen juego, posee el efecto "sólo un turno más"

8 de 10.

* Follow the traditions: Warlock – Master of the Arcane inherits all the best elements of the famous turn based strategies of old. It has modern feel and look, but deep down it is a classic game where each player may master his or her own kingdom through magical and military skill.

Comment

Combination of old Master of Magic or Age of Wonders gameplay with the look of newer Civilization games (4 or 5).
