Warbanners Review (PC)


Crasleen Games has released Warbanners for PC and Linux for $19.99.



Warbanners is a fantasy strategy game which offers up a tactical affair with RPG leanings allowing players to manage a squad of mercenaries. Gamers get the chance to take their squad through tons of missions and battles for an overall immersive gameplay experience.

Warbanners offers gamers a turn-based, tactical strategy experience with role-playing elements. The action-packed combat is carried over a campaign over 42 missions offering up a wide variety of environments and enemies. The multi-faceted battle system allows you to master everything from the terrain to special units in order to win the battle.

The game allows you to hire and equip soldiers and assistants in order to develop their skills for the battlefield. Players can manipulate everything around them such as chopping down trees, constructing barricades and even freezing rivers. The graphics and soundtrack are spot on for this type of game and offer an even more immersive experience.

In the end, Warbanners is a solid strategy game but is geared toward more diehard fans of turn-based, strategy games.

Features:

  • Create a unique army: hire and equip soldiers, develop their fighting qualities, and learn new skills.
  • Hire assistants: although they do not participate in battles, assistants give different bonuses, including a formidable catapult, poisoning enemies, increasing morale, and much more.
  • Immerse yourself in a multi-faceted battle system that takes into account a variety of factors, including landscape and lighting, the direction of the unit's gaze, morale, and fatigue.
  • Use the environment for tactical purposes: freeze rivers, chop and burn trees, dig trenches, build bridges and barricades, and so on.
  • Choose the optimal level of difficulty: from easy for beginners, to nightmarish for sophisticated tacticians.

Score: 7 out of 10

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...
