Nothing forces the brain to work like a good RTS. Preferably one that offers an original story, many unique units and is available on several platforms. A lot of wishes for one production. Will the creators of Ragewar be able to meet them?
"Drought" before the storm
Unfortunately, already at the beginning of my adventure I encountered many problems. Despite using a few browsers, the game didn't always run smoothly, which reminded me of my neurosis after a few minutes of playing. In order to get the maximum comfort from playing I decided to download the full version of the game. When I thought that all I had to do was run down the hill, it turned out that there were a few rocks on it. More minutes went by to deal with the installation. I was warmed up to the game by the film interlude introducing the. I must admit that it made quite an impression on me. An interesting idea fully compensated for the clumsy movement of frames. However, an "outstanding" joke cannot be forgiven. For a moment it got so dry that I had to help myself to a decent sip of tea. The developers have prepared a few more such surprises for the players, so don't forget to fasten your seatbelts while loading the game.
They know how to spoil you
I didn't expect much in terms of graphics, so when I logged in for the first time, I wasn't disappointed. Several mixed up elements appeared on the screen. Some of them, with their lines and bright colors, reminded me of the gameplay of the newer production from the "Civilization" series, or the browser hit "Age of War". And the buildings had the characteristic crude features well known from "Fortress". The lack of this explosive mix of styles would definitely be more pleasing to the eye. A detailed tutorial introduces the game, but it's not the only form of help we get. In order to develop the city quickly, you need to perform assigned tasks, which will reward you with basic resources. If there are difficulties in locating a particular building or service, the "show" option will cause a small flare, which will lead the lost wanderer to the destination of the search. This is what captivated me personally. Developers didn't stop with just these solutions. While the game is loading, tips are displayed under the bar.
There is no end to surprises
The original storyline created a good field for creators to show off. Introduction of several eras gave a range of possibilities, which is fully exploited. Each period is characterized by unique units, buildings, or even raw materials. What's interesting is that these elements can be mixed, so you can easily exchange the resources you no longer need through trade routes formed with other players. Warriors of different eras can also clash on the battlefield. In addition to typical specifications, they have their own preferences, thanks to which on the battlefield they chase units they do not like. A seemingly small change introduces a lot of possibilities when creating both offensive and defensive tactics. Developers managed to create a simple, but incredibly engaging skirmish mode.
Many devices, many possibilities
Ragewar, despite a few inconveniences, offers dozens of hours of exploratory fun. Thanks to the (seemingly) easy access we can enjoy the entertainment on many platforms, including smartphones. Original elements guarantee immersion in gameplay, which I caught myself many times and probably will catch myself again.
