GameStyle - History Great Battles Medieval is a strategy RPG developed in conjunction with The History Channel. The game covers The Hundred Years’ War from both the English and French perspectives, and lets you build and command armies during some of the more important conflicts that shaped the war. In between each battle is a video clip taken from The History Channel’s archives, and the narrative gives you a better understanding of how the war developed.
Slitherine (www.slitherine.com), Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com), and War Drum Studios (www.wardrumstudios.com) are proud to release an update for HISTORY™ Great Battles Medieval for the Android™ operating system (all TEGRA 2 compatible devices)!
I’m always a bit weary with strategy titles on consoles. On a PC, a strategy game can come to life, mostly thanks to the opportunity to make a very complicated game much easier to play thanks to simplified controls and a general tidier, faster experience. Things are usually a world apart on a console - titles are usually difficult to control and feel stripped down, often suffering from lag thanks to the massive amount of battling going on on-screen. Still, it’s always nice to see a new title giving it a go, and Great Battles - Medieval is set to be the next title on the market trying to turn you to console strategy gaming.
Strategy Informer: "History: Great Battles Medieval delivers an accessible, if lightweight, strategy RPG experience based on the historical events of the Hundred Years War. It's a subject matter that's hardly likely to get the pulse racing without a little bit of embellishment or interesting presentation. Unfortunately, History Great Battles Medieval suffers from lacklustre presentation and limited controls on the Xbox 360 and PS3."
