Resolution's Greg Giddens writes: At first glance History: Great Battles Medieval resembles the likes of grand strategy titles such as Victoria and the more mainstream Total War series. It soon becomes apparent, however, that this resemblance is in core concept and aesthetic alone. Featuring an extremely user-friendly interface and set of command options, History: Great Battles Medieval is hugely accessible yet a challenging and fun RTS title.
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."
