If Styrateg had been published in, say, 1992, we might talk of it in the same breath with Warlords or Heroes of Might & Magic; it's a nice, focussed turn-based fantasy RPG with an engaging story, pretty graphics (in a somewhat retro 2D tile-based mode), and Medieval-style music that's reminiscent of the soundtrack to Europa Universalis.
It has RPG-ish character advancement; levelling up allows you to improve your character stats and skills, and in some cases gain new skills. Each level has a turn limit, which creates a sense of tension missing in many turn-based games; you fail if you don't finish a level in a set number of turns (but can always replay it, of course).
On the whole, Styrateg is tight, well executed, and a nice change of pace from the bombast and lack of polish of some recent mainstream fantasy titles.
