Dominions 3: The Awakening reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Italian
Strategic Turn-based Fantasy setting. Game from poor graphics but with deep content and well cared for. You can play both in single player versus I.A. and against other human players. The goal of the game is to conquer all the territories, you can do it either with the armies or spreading your faith. It gives more thickness to the product, there are a wide system of spells to search for, an economic system based on the taxes of the various provinces and a system of resources to produce the armies. There are various magical objects to find or to be craftare.

If you are from Russia, read this review. 1. I Have a russifier ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Dyed the game translated all the text into an alien language. 2. The Game is very boring and monotonous, useless and meaningless. 3. Collecting badges on Steam It is very often issued coupons for 90, 75, 66% discount. Even If you have a coupon for 99% do not buy the game, if you have never played such genres of the game. 4. I do not understand who these people who write positive reviews to this will be wiped out in the steam, the game is really not playable. This is not a strategy to name. It's just a collection of images on the screen that don't have animations. There's nothing to say about the boyku. I was not even able to teach in battles. FOR ME The GAME is FULL of SAD, GRAY-BROWN ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ If You do not feel sorry for the money, then buy and pay.

Hello world! In The Today's review I will tell about the game DOMINIONS 3! _______________________________________________ Dominions 3: The Awakening is a turn-based strategy created by Illwinter Developers (Eng) and published on September 29, 2006 by Shrapnel Games. The game combines a simple look and a very large number of strategic features, including 1500 units, 600 spells and 300 magic items. Players usually plan battles rather than control them. _______________________________________________ But Let's dump the farmalness and pass to my personal opinion: I will say that in this game there is no sense and it is not a strategy! This game does not make sense to buy and play! I don't want to offend the developers, but it's not a game of th * but! _______________________________________________ The General: I am not satisfied and unrecommend this game to anyone! The Game is boring and not worth the money. Game I put: 1/10. _______________________________________________ If You liked my review why not put it like and if you do not have my friends then add!!! _______________________________________________
