  This is a fun title utilising the concept and interface I like in other games. Well worth it if you can get it in the sale.

  I've had this game sitting in my library for about 10 years, and I finally decided to play it. I'm glad I did. It may be old, but it's a lot of fun to play. I ended up buying all 3 chapters because I enjoyed it so much. The scenarios are interesting to play, the characters are unique, and the humor is goofy. The jokes either made me smile or roll my eyes at the corniness. This game definitely does not take itself too seriously, and occasionally makes fun of itself. I found the normal difficulty level to be too easy, so I had to play everything on hard for the right challenge. The graphics may not be the latest and fanciest compared to the latest games out there, but they're certainly good enough. I did encounter a couple annoying bugs. There are a couple scenarios where critical units disappear when I saved the game and reloaded later, making it impossible to finish the level. This was solved by restarting the level, but it was a bummer to have to play it over again. I recommend finishing each level in one sitting, which generally takes no more than a couple hours. At the current price, this game is well worth the money, so there's little to lose in trying it out.

  I love the genre, but this game is rather bad. It could've been OK, but lack of game balance and lame humor built up to a bad experience. Combat system and character art is OK, but not enough.

  If your tired and burnt out from a day at work and want to play a game, but don't have the where withall to dig into something deep, The casual aspect and wacky stupid humor of this game is just what the Doc ordered. An hour relaxing with this game gives just the right amount of relaxed, chuckles and light mental exercise to wake you up and prep your grey-matter for something a little bit more on the edge. The art and production values are top notch for an indie game. It's relaxed, light fun that's just right for those times when you are just sitting there and zoning at your screen anyway.

  I'm a huge fan of turn based strategy games like Advance Wars or Final Fantasy Tactics. Highborn is a hillarious turn based game that doesn't take itself too seriously. They recently dropped the main game and DLC prices drastically too. Now is the perfect time to pick up this fun casual game that is sure to make you laugh at least once!

  Great Game - Great Value - Get the DLC. If anything this game is way under-priced! It's one of those gems that I search Steam for. It's also a good beginner's intro to RPG style games, especially the spell casting and weighing whether or not to attack usiing brute force or spells. It can even be surprisingly difficult at times but well worth the challenge. The humor is funny too. Another great Intro RPG aspect is that you get to play a lot of different characters with different strengths and weaknesses, with all the usual archetypes like Warrior, Cleric, Mage (although they don't name them as such.) And the AI can be surprisingly clever, such as changing tactics after a save and reload. (And it is the kind of game that makes you want to see what else the Developer has made.) I'll wait a year or so and play the game again when I've largely forgotten. Good times!

  [h1]Details[/h1] [quote] [h1]Myth-ic Aspriations: a wry comic turn-based gem of a game.[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=130069577 You are a muscle-bound knight reuniting a fractured kingdom to defeat the dark forces of the evil lich. Daft plot, but solid turn-based wargame strategy to be had. On top of this, you can earn heaps of achievements and bonuses from completing quests in a variety of ways - so one for the completionist as well. Very highly recommended.

  Tactical phone game with limited depth. If you like "light strategy" with "cheap humour", then this is for you.

  Absolutely horrible. I bought this to give it a try when it was newly released - they didn't even warn me that it was 'chapter 1'. As for an "intelligent, tactical experience", they mean 'keep units close to each other and make enemies come to you'. That's all there is to it, try to get the first swing in and make that as many swings as possible by grouping your units. It isn't very "witty" either, relying on cheap humor and old cliches like villains annoyed that their evil monologue isn't getting the attention it deserves. If they ever put this on a 90% discount, it *might* be worth the money.
