Pike and Shot: Campaigns reviews

Just bad. You could call it primitive Rubbish. Graphically from the C64, or Atari Era. Why So much Money is being asked for the Game is disgusting to me. Probably because the Tactics are calculated by a military Supercomputer Somewhere in Silicon Valley. But It has to be defective-you win every Game. By the Way: I think it's cool for The Opponent to be gripped by panic, flee the Map and your Sides chasing after the Opponent also disappear from the Card-forever! :) Warning: En all how reduced the Price is-don't buy it! It's not even worth £1.

Hm, so whoever is looking for Action and brilliant Graphics in this Game is in the wrong Place. Pike and Shot Is reminiscent of a Tabletop from the Point of view. The tactical Battles are really interesting, the Campaign Mode is more of an Encore and not really engaging (anyone who still knows the Battle for Middle-earth knows what I mean). Editor for the bar tinkering is also available, from the community you can download scenarios easily and free of charge. Really well thought and done. The Scenario is unused and the Armies differ (despite comparable Units) from each other. A few Special Forces per Side could have calmly given more, but ok, is sufficient. The AI is surprisingly good and bravely fights back from medium Difficulty. Depending on the chosen Nation you get into a sweat quite nicely, higher AI Level I haven't tried yet, that'S Enough for Me. AI haters can still let off steam at Multiplayer. Personally, the Game agrees to me a lot and I can only recommend it to others.

I can't recommend this Game. Among the Points:-Graphic: So lala. On the Battlefield you don't really see big Differences in the Troops and the Landscapes almost always look the same. The Campaign Map doesn't make much of a Thing, either. In the Pike and Shot campaign, the Cards always look about the same no matter what Nation I take. -Expiration/Draught/Taktick: You have virtually no Influence. Most Of the time, the AI determines what happens. You can't build anything yourself in the Provinces, nor do you have the Opportunity to research or develop. It is Very bad when enemy Troops flee and their own run after them and then disappear from the Battlefield together with them! They can no longer be stopped and recalled. Also, sometimes own Troops have run out of APs at the Beginning of a Round and there is nothing left but to watch after pressing the "Finish round" button as the AI controls. Frustrating. Conclusion: You set up Armies on a given (or limited) Scale and push them around on the Map and the AI decides if there is a Fight. Several Rounds have passed without a Fight because the Computer decided that the Opponent or your own Side does not want a Fight. And then it comes to a Fight it is quite possible that one can only watch how the AI lets the Troops fight. Spending just under 40 Euros on This is clearly too much.
