Customer Reviews of Lords of the Realm 3
RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!!! Perhaps they should have built a rather large badger. This is a huge disappointment and the original version was way way way better than this. You have amazingly little control and there is amazingly little strategy for a strategy game. Get Medieval Total War if youre looking for Dark Ages fun. I miss my $20.
This game is just confusing
Okay, so I'm being really nice giving this game 2 stars. I am a huge fan of Lords of the Realm II so I thought I would purchase this game and have a go at it. Well.....that didn't go to well. The game, although it has great graphics, is extrememly confusing and hard to follow on what you can and can't do. It is really different from the previous Lords of the Realms and thus makes it hard to play. I wouldn't suggest not buying this product, but if you are a huge Lords of the Realm II fan, then I would say advise you not to. You will most likely end up being upset with yourself (and your computer!!).
Unplayable
I bought this game because I had very much enjoyed Lords of the Realm 2. This game however, is virtually unplayable. Perhaps 15 years ago I would have tried to brave through all the difficulties and frustrations and learn to enjoy the game, but with all the quality games available today, it just isn't worth it.
The game interface is clunky and hard to understand. The tutorials do a poor job of preparing you for the game. The manual is thin and not very helpful. On the tactical level, your soldiers do not handle orders well, you cannot give orders to individual units, only companies, and they screw them up half the time. The tactical overview map is hard to read and it can be hard to tell where the opposing forces are. In combat it is difficult to tell the difference between your soldiers and the enemy.
Tactical combat goes on in "real-time" while stuff outside is going on. This would be fine, except once the combat begins, other forces can't join the fight. If there is a castle siege going on, you can't have forces come in to defeat the attackers. They just have to wait outside and twiddle their thumbs as the attack goes on.
It isn't very clear how you get the forces you want. You establish a knight on a piece of land, then he starts raising an army. What if I want swordsman? cavalry? archers? I don't seem to have any control, and I wasn't willing to play the game long enough to find out.
I threw this game in the trash. Don't waste your money.
