A historically accurate setting for a great player-driven story from two sides, Numantia has a great narrative backed by an enjoyable and tactical combat system. Unfortunately, flaws appear almost everywhere in this game, bogging down some of the better ideas and making combat and the campaign unintuitive and frustrating.

Well, the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 13th-19th Feb 2018 is now with us and even more Xbox One and Xbox 360 games have been reduced in price - this time though we are also seeing a huge amount of 2K games being included. Want to check out the full list of bargains for the week ahead?"
Paul from TXH writes: "Strategy games eh? For so long the preserve of PC gamers (in fact my first experience with this game type was many many moons ago, as a university student playing Dune 2 on a housemate’s PC), there have been few successful entries on the Xbox. The most notable of these has been the Halo Wars series, which entertain by being a multi coloured laser-fest, using vehicles to do the fighting, in addition to the foot soldiers. Numantia is a beast of a different stripe, swapping the future for the past, science fiction for reality and laser rifles for swords. Can it still entertain?"
Turn Based Boredom
WTMG's Andrew Loeschner writes: "If you absolutely love strategy games and you’re absolutely dying to play a cookie cutter combat strategy game, then Numantia isn’t the worst bet. Especially if you only have a console. But, honestly, there are better games out there to play. Way better games."
That's unfortunate. I'm always looking for new turn-based games.
Xcom and Battlechasers proved it can still be done right, but I guess this just missed the mark
Bullshit, should of made a version of this game specific for PC. The fact that it was made only with consoles in mind shows how the PC is held back.
