A mix of RPG and RTS elements is a dream come true. But to have it seamlessly blend together is the ultimate RTS/RPG experience.

Phenomic have a hit on their hands. Smooth graphics, decent voice-overs, great gameplay. I have not tested multiplayer yet. Supports both campaign modes as well as free play. Multiplayer supports co-op and assault modes. Game supports isometric and chase viewing angles. The UI has been extensively though out. Some of the UI elements makes you wonder how other games missed out on those features.

I have a strong feeling this is going to give Titan Quest a good run for its money. At $39.99 this is a must buy.
