Mage Knight: Destiny's Soldier

This is my first experience with the Mage Knight games, I really like the idea with a turnbased strategy. Once you overcome the pretty steep learning curve, since there's so many rules to follow, the game is pretty fun to play - for the first 1 hour. It's really, and I mean _really_ easy to predict the AI movements during the battles. The only increase in difficulties are that the enemies have higher stats. Even with the different objectives (which was a nice touch), there's actually no change in winning strategy. Just isolate and kill everything before moving onto your main objective.

Not worth my money. Stick to Age of Empires for a strategy game.

Just my two pennies worth...
