Many of the same choices that plagued commanders will be presented to you.
Nearly all commanders present in the game are real figures from WWI, there are several scripted events in the game designed to fire under certain conditions that actually happened during the Great War. You can choose to start from the very beginning in 1914, jump ahead to Verdun, or maybe see if you can pull out a victory in 1918.
Units move on a hex-based battlefield representing the WWI front at various points in the war, clashing with the enemy in a simulation of trench warfare. If you’ve played some of the other games from The Lordz, you might have an immediate grasp of what’s happening. GameplayĬommander is a decidedly hex-based affair, and almost pure Slithering. the iPad is a great platform for strategy gaming, the question is whether The Lordz were up to the task of seeing it through. Developed by The Lordz Game Studio, a studio made up of veteran Total War modders, and published by Slitherine, Commander already has a leg up on a huge number of other wargames. Lacking the dynamism of WWII’s swinging offensives or the gentlemanly tactics of the ever-popular Napoleonic war games, only the very best in unit repositioning simulators have the ability to rise to the top.Ĭommander: The Great War doesn’t seem to jump out at you until you take a look at its pedigree. The setting has been bled dry, and in many ways gets shown up by other period games.
Of course, this also means that the marketplace is in no way lacking for WWI-themed wargaming, and you can hardly search for a title without being bombarded with claims of deep, engaging strategy and nail-biting decision making. World War I was one of the greatest, most destructive conflicts in human history, which is perhaps what makes it such an attractive period for grognards and casual strategy gamers alike. We managed to get our hands on Commander: The Great War, and we’d like to set the theme before heading into the juicy parts of the review.
