Warlords
RTS is not related to the Warlords game from the 1980s. The RTS is the
first clue. New to video games? Unclear what RTS stands for? It stands
for real time strategy. Normally players amass resources, build armies,
and go out to conquer their enemies.
Since Warlords RTS is on the iPhone/iPod Touch platform expect there to
be less content than a Personal Computer RTS game. In fact we do not
mine for ore, gold, or cut down trees in Warlords RTS. We earn money for
every second that goes by. The more areas we conquer, the more troops we
can have.
Warlords RTS comes with fine looking art work. The warlords are heroic
looking - most of them. The different classes look like elves, dwarves,
and more. There is some enticement to lust, magical images, and violence
as the little characters destroy one another.
Controlling Warlords RTS can be a pain. Players can touch the warlord to
move him. Players can touch any individual character to move them.
Groupings of characters can be moved, or they can be split. Tapping in
an area will grab all characters near there. What I intended with my
taps did not always materialize. I ran into one issue with Warlords RTS
in the controls. I tried to tap a character, and would miss slightly.
This hand held game would move the last character(s) selected to that
area. Many times moving defensive characters out of the way so the
computer had a free shot at my base.
Bases are important in Warlords RTS. Protect them at all costs. Destroy
the enemies bases as quickly as possible. The destruction of a base ends
the levels. Your warlord can die, and will come back after a pie bar
fills up. Troops, and the warlord can be upgraded in Warlords RTS. The
warlord can also wear armor and find new armor in the levels. There are
in app purchases, which are silly after paying for a game. Generally
replaying levels will earn enough gems to upgrade at least one of the
troops. It also can provide better armor and weapons for your warlord.
Warlords RTS is being marketed and sold as a real time strategy game. To
me it feels more like a fluid tower defense/offense game. This iPhone
game can be fun at times. It gets hard when your troops are not leveled
up enough. So grinding is required in Warlords RTS. Unless you want to
pay more money to purchase gems.
