The Best Implementation of the Classic Game | Submitted by costik on Mon, 05/21/2007 - 05:05. |
An oldie-but-goodie, Risk II was implemented by Microprose, before they were taken over by Hasbro, passed onto Atari, and gutted... Still the best digital implementation of the classic boardgame. If you like this kind of game, do also check out Lux Delux.
Armageddon Empires has a story set in the future and gameplay set in the past. Imagine Magic: The Gathering crunched with Hex-based strategy and based in post-Heinlein sci-fi, with a dash of Fallout for garnish. Things are slow and deep, and that's how they're meant to be. Resources are balanced against dice rolls, moves are carefully allotted, armies are assembled based on complementary numbers and specials, saves are made frequently. Even down to the individual attack, you make judgments with the prudence of a wargamer while hedging with the reckless tact of a card gamer. Only the hardcore need apply.
