It’s a rare thing indeed that an RTS game finds its way onto the PS3 or Xbox 360 – the genre typically confined to the realms of the humble PC. But UK-based publisher Slitherine Software has done just that, putting you in direct control of huge armies and over unique units. There's plenty to get your teeth into with over 70 Medieval battles...
Slitherine (www.slitherine.com), Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com), and War Drum Studios (www.wardrumstudios.com) are proud to release an update for HISTORY™ Great Battles Medieval for the Android™ operating system (all TEGRA 2 compatible devices)!
I’m always a bit weary with strategy titles on consoles. On a PC, a strategy game can come to life, mostly thanks to the opportunity to make a very complicated game much easier to play thanks to simplified controls and a general tidier, faster experience. Things are usually a world apart on a console - titles are usually difficult to control and feel stripped down, often suffering from lag thanks to the massive amount of battling going on on-screen. Still, it’s always nice to see a new title giving it a go, and Great Battles - Medieval is set to be the next title on the market trying to turn you to console strategy gaming.
Strategy Informer: "History: Great Battles Medieval delivers an accessible, if lightweight, strategy RPG experience based on the historical events of the Hundred Years War. It's a subject matter that's hardly likely to get the pulse racing without a little bit of embellishment or interesting presentation. Unfortunately, History Great Battles Medieval suffers from lacklustre presentation and limited controls on the Xbox 360 and PS3."
