The controls and interface to
Armies of Exigo are very user friendly. If you’ve ever played any real-time strategy game in the world, you’ll quickly recognize the interface, as it looks just like any other game. The controls were just as simply. Just click on your units, and click on the screen to move them around. The cool thing about the interface is the ability to create super groups with your units in case of a major attack and you need to move a lot of units at once. Simply click on your super group instead of having to select all of them, and take them into the battle. The ability to switch the map from above ground to below ground with the simple push of a button is also a nice touch. So for those of you that have played other real-time strategy games, you’ll find yourself right at home with the controls of this one. For those of you who for some reason are lost in the world and have not played a strategy game, well you’ll pick on to this one fast.
Armies of Exigo is the first in what could be a series for the developers. So you’re looking at a game in its first generation, a game that has probably built a pretty decent, solid foundation for all others to base on. However it is evident in a few spots in the game, with some issues in game play, and balance.
Armies of Exigo seems to take too much from too many other real-time strategy games, and fails to capitalize and to create its own niche. However computer players tired of the WWII strategy games may enjoy the change of pace
Armies of Exigo can offer, and hence a perfectly good reason to pick up a pretty decent game. I enjoy the game, and the online offers some decent replay ability, but the lack of innovation seems to do it in for me. I feel like I’ve played
Armies of Exigo before, just like every other real-time strategy game. The biggest thing it has going for it is the ability to fight underground, and thus, attack from all angles at anytime, but this new feature just does not do it for me, and does not make me feel that
Armies of Exigois innovative enough. I welcome it to a crowded genre, and look forward to a hopeful sequel to continue to improve the game, as this is a solid foundation to continue on.
