our picks for the top 10 fantasy
strategy games with no survivors only
the battlefield could tell me what
happened here for this list we’re
looking at strategy games which
predominantly take place in worlds of
swords and sorcery as usual there will
only be one entry per franchise and
we’re excluding MOBAs as those are in a
completely different genre and that
deserves a list of its own so basically
that list will come out when dota 2 and
League of Legends fans make peace better
hold on tight captain could get bumpy
number ten the Lord of the Rings battle
for middle-earth – no fantasy list would
be complete without mentioning what is
considered to be the most popular
fantasy setting of all time the second
installment to the RTS PC series
introduces new factions such as dwarves
and elves adding to the already existing
human and orcish races the Battle of
Greenfields has not been forgotten by
the goblins in that kind elven archers
and ents can clash with defensive
dwarven pikemen and todd repriced
goblins while attempting to eliminate
all other factions while it is based on
tokens war of the north from the Lord of
the Rings trilogy this does obviously
take some liberties with the plot but
that shouldn’t stop hardcore Lord of the
Rings fans from enjoying this fantasy
filled entry number 9 Age of Mythology
this RTS PC game was a spinoff of the
widely popular Age of Empires series but
instead of sending cavalry at your
enemies players get to use the powers of
the gods to rain down death and
destruction on their foes
while there are only three playable
races the Greeks the Norse and the
Egyptians each led by their own major
gone you are allowed to choose a minor
god each time you advance through to the
next age there’s only one campaign but
it’s a whopping thirty two scenarios
long so it’s sure to keep you engaged
for ages literally he was boon number
eight shining force
enter the world of gardenia and take the
role of Max who forms a group of friends
in order to stop the antagonist Caine
from opening up the Shining Path to
resurrect and unleash the dark dragon
upon the lone tactical turn-based RPG
for the Genesis here you find enemies on
a square grid gaining experience points
to level up and gain promotions by
performing different kinds of actions
despite a major part of the plot being
lost in the translation upon its first
North American release the game’s
initial success saw it ported to
numerous other consoles including the
Wii Virtual Console and a remake on the
Game Boy Advance
number seven total war Warhammer as gods
battle for the world’s vicked
I make my own humble contribution the
Total War series has featured some of
the largest tactical battles ever seen
on PC ranging from settings like feudal
Japan to ancient Rome to medieval Europe
but don’t fret fantasy fans because this
installment in the series takes place in
the fantasy world of Warhammer I say we
show Todd bring us mongrels that right
klonda blood flows through our veins in
the vanilla experience you play as one
of four factions including the Empire
which is a human faction and the green
skins which can you guess are green skin
orcs here developers took a big risk
creating a fantasy game in a series that
has usually tried to be as historically
accurate as possible but diehard fans
have learned to appreciate this entry
just as much will his wings strengthen
initially who needed to ruin number 6
black and white a land of innocence has
no need for
I’m too faked into these ever wanted to
be a god based on the timeless concept
of good versus evil black and white
allows you to decide the fate of
numerous tribes on an island by acting
as their God
while Peter Mali News populace is
accepted as the first god game black and
white offers a much more polished and
updated experience we’ve got this notion
that we quite like to sell the ocean so
we build in a big book to labor folk
good each action or inaction you take
will be deemed good or evil and
contribute to your image in the eyes of
these villagers but a pretty cool
feature that everyone was talking about
is the inclusion of a pet creature this
pet cannot exactly be controlled
directly but can be taught to do certain
tasks using a reinforcement system if
you think you’re a saint
this game might tell you who you really
are
number five
agent wonders – the Wizards throne the
world is out of balance
the Wizards circle in evermore is broken
in its Wizards rage upon the earth with
the same raw forces that created her
building on the success of the original
age of Wonders age of Wonders – has the
player take control of an immortal
wizard and fight through the different
spheres of water fire earth air life
death and cosmos Master each sphere of
magic only a human can restore balance
to the circle and the world spells can
only be used within a certain domain so
don’t think you can just rely on one
overpowered spell and rush into enemy
territory part of the reason for this
game success was that the Dutch
developers took to the online strategy
community for help with feedback and
making the game good job Internet the
gods abandon us Queen Julia and her
elves talk of aid but do nothing
humanity is doomed to extinction number
4 Final Fantasy Tactics
on the heels of the widely popular final
fantasy 7 a paragon of RPG gaming Final
Fantasy took a much more tactical
approach to combat with this PlayStation
game
here battles were set on an isometric
map giving you more freedom in deciding
where to place your party in contrast to
the RPG games that preceded it much like
FF 5 players can choose from a giant
list of jobs such as Squire monk or
Onion Knight even monsters are available
to join your party fans at the time
would also be able to see FF sevens
protagonist clown as even he makes an
appearance in this game as a playable
character
number three Heroes of Might and Magic
three my father’s Kingdom must survive
Oh raffia must not fall to its enemies
while videogame spin-offs often failed
to impress the Heroes of Might & Magic
series surpassed its original RPG series
Might and Magic by miles heroes 2 was
acclaimed as a masterpiece but Heroes 3
improved upon it in many ways the
presence of miniatures suggests a
raiding party however the ranks were too
well organized your in-game heroes still
had secondary skills but now had unique
abilities along with tons of new
artifacts and creatures to recruit from
8 different town types the introduction
of the wait command in battle as well as
numerous new creature abilities added
depth to the strategy of this turn-based
game with a stunning soundtrack composed
by Paul Romero and loads of
environmental sound effects this game
will fully immerse you in a land of
fantasy and lore smoking ruins of cloud
fire greeted us with nothing but
destruction in the stench of death
number two Fire Emblem awakening I see
you’re awake now
hey there there are better places to
take a nap than on the ground you know
this tactical turn-based RPG on the 3ds
as you control an amnesiac soldier
working for Prince kramat Elise old Fire
Emblem fans would be right at home with
this entry in the series and the new
option of playing without permadeath
makes the game accessible to newcomers
as well the game is highly customizable
and the RPG elements are extremely deep
with 40 character classes to choose from
battles do take place on a squared grid
but that doesn’t mean the maps don’t
have huge variety complete with
environmental obstacles relationships
between the characters can also be built
making them friends and even lovers
originally created to be the final game
in the Fire Emblem series its success
kept the franchise alive spawning at
least one other game which was
unfortunately split into three games you
deserve better for me than one sword in
a world of troubles before we unveil our
topic here a few honorable mentions
these Vannucci conscripts are no match
for me honest – Musketeers fire at will
doors you will pay for this
no man can fight these creatures blood
shall be our prayers
number one Warcraft two tides of
darkness now united in arms with new
allies against a common foe
stands at the shores of destiny
the tides of darkness when talking about
strategy games that were seminal to the
genre perhaps nothing had a bigger
impact than tides of darkness
everything we know and love about
blizzards strategy games took shape in
this decades-old title the isometric
perspective the vibrant art style the
quirky unit banter you can find it all
here Lord okay boom regardless of
whether or not it ripped off a certain
Lord of a certain set of rings the
conflicts between the Horde and the
Alliance made gaming history
Blizzard took the strategy jar and
showed the world how it was done so Doug
