Comment: MMORTS/Card trading game
Sound - nothing much to speak of
Graphics - wouldn"t know had to knock everything to minimum just to get it to work(not the only one to do this either)so blobs on a screen
Strategy Gameplay - your tactics consist of basically putting you melee units on defensive up front and ranged units on aggressive behind, unfortunately melee units will disengage for no reason and range units will jump infront of your melee"s and get wiped out. Any vaguely interesting quests usually end in one tiny person coming on and wiping out every unit you can field without any trouble, that is if you can get the questlines(max 5 quests in a line) to work. I"m sure i"ve tried worse strategy games although i can"t think of any off the top of my head, i"ve definitely played better
City management Gameplay - you can build a certain amount of each type of building in every territory u control once u get the resources u build them(not exactly complex or even interesting). Territory quests are available at levels 6, 13, 17 and 20(4 more to be added in future)don"t even think of doing them at these levels unless u beg for help from a higher level
Pvp Gameplay - tbh got bored with game before i could try this so i"ll say what i know. Once u get a territory u can make it pvp enabled and from there u can attack other players with pvp enabled territories, u can also use the espionage tab to steal, kill, spy etc, but i do know there isn"t a cap of any sort to this so aslong as a player has the resources they can attack you, steal etc as much as they like.
multiplayer questing consists of getting someone else to go with u. You can"t co-op the quest pproperly(i.e. u both complete it if u win)
As a "real life" card trading game it"s non-existent as the in shop purchases consist of codes only as far as i am aware(in shop purchases only available in certain parts of USA)
As a virtual card trading game its not bad, u get a 3D representation of the units and can try them in battle
As a Real Time Strategy its mediocre to average at best, your tactics basically consist of defensive stance and aggressive stance usage there are no charge, flank, height bonuses or anything like that
As an MMO its terrible, worst i"ve ever tried
**WARNING** in compliance with guides and advice i farmed peasants(treated as a resource ingame) in order to boost my abilities, without any warning a cap was introduced and everything anyone had over this was removed/robbed from them. I"ve never heard of any MMO willing to delete/steal a players resources so please consider this may happen before u spend any money on saga
Saga is best left to the small band of people who want a bland strategy game that doesn"t require any intelligence or imagination to play
