This game starts out easy and managable, but before you know it you are immersed in deafeating you rival tribes and wrecking everything you can lay your Tornado spells on, with an army of braves and warriors, preists and firewarriors and spys, not forgetting the Angel of Death spell too, who can stop you?

the main focus of the game is starting out from nothing and working you way through the game, this involves mastering many aspects of the game. As the player, you need to keep your Shaman from getting killed, even though she is reincarnated, shes a lethal weapon! The game is constantly challenging you, as each level throws you into a completly different situation!

the braves are your followers, they are also your source of mana, which charge your spells, they can be trained into many different classes, along with just being left as braves and doing construction work to help increase the size of your tribe, they are the key to your skill as a Shaman, neglect them and you will find the game incredably intense, mastering them however means you will conqueor every tribe!

There is a fantastic tutorial section in the game which trains you excellently to begin the journey, and in itself, is quite fun as it is all hands on experiance and creates an amazing foundation to build your skills up.

then only flaws to this game are the lack of high resolution supports, so to the modern gamer supporting 720p and 1080p on some games, the 576 resolution will be an eyestrain.

But for content, replayability, challenge and a sense of achievent, this game does have it all!
