Crewdroog: grr, I was all excited until i saw turn based and strategy. lol but i am glad you found something awesome to play :)
I was like that since I was a kid, anything but TBS. I guess I'm getting old because I recently got in to TBS. It still has to be just the right game, but I always liked Xcom. I really got into Enemy Unknown and Within recently and I realized that I actually don't mind TBS. I think what turned me off was an RPG when I was really young on the original NES. It was the first and last TBS until I played Xcom. I had it so burned into my head I don't like them that I didn't even realize Xcom is a TBS. I started getting them and have quite a few in my GoG collection now, but I have yet to play most of them even though I plan to.
Oh I think another thing that made me get into TBS a year or two was that I started getting into games that are kind of in between like Star Wars KOTOR and WoW to a lesser degree. I was really looking for some good RPGs with angels and demons, and realized all the best ones were TBS.
Eador is a perfect example... I have both of them and haven't tried either of them.
HunchBluntley: Just so you're aware,
Masters of the Broken World is apparently "just" a 3D remake of
Genesis, not a sequel. Kind of like what
Mount & Blade: Warband did for
Mount & Blade, only more so.
OldFatGuy: Oh, I didn't know that. Well, geez, I just gave bad advice then suggesting a person might try the second one.
Huh, I only read a couple of the reviews and didn't see or didn't remember either mentioning that.
Well darn. So basically it's the same game with upgraded graphics? Well, I suppose it's possible the upgraded graphics might do it for some folks. I tend not to care too much about graphics. Although there is one game I tried playing and just...... couldn't. Sid Meier's Colonization. Man I couldn't even tell the difference in the units or ship types the graphics were so bad on that one.
It's a pretty significant upgrade. I personally bought both of them because they looked different enough that I thought I would play through both at some point. That and I always complete my game series when they're on sale for next to nothing. If you read through the second one's page you'll see it's a remake, I haven't looked at it in a while but I seem to remember them clearly stating that.
Either way, check it out, you may be willing to buy it if it's on sale because it is pretty significantly upgraded.
