"The Lesquin-based (France) video games company NACON and Villeurbanne-based (France) indie games developer Artefacts Studio, today announced that they have postponed the release of their upcoming turn-based tactics/strategy game “Crown Wars: The Black Prince“." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Crown Wars: The Black Prince Review - Marred by AI and polish issues, this medieval tactical game fails to deliver on its potential.
Michael Kitchin writes, "It's not my favourite genre but there is at least something to Crown Wars: The Black Prince. Being able to tackle missions at my own pace was refreshing, although I was still learning from failure. As tough as battles can be, there's a balance to the units and a definite preferred way of playing with strength in numbers being emphasised. The technical hitches are a problem but regular autosaves does mitigate any lost progress. Unfortunately, the pacing can be hammered by an early grind and a game that is not always the best at explaining its systems."
Crown Wars: The Black Prince has launched on console and PC, providing a deep XCOM style middle-ages strategy game.
