The music is, unfortunately as forgettable as a soundtrack can be. A shame since an excellent score can liven up even the worst games. As it is, outside of the lack of an epic and dramatic score, the sounds in the game sound familiar. Like I have heard them all before in several other games before. Most likely I have heard them before in various other cheaply made games. Your generic arrow shooting, sword swinging and armor clashing sounds here, please.

Archers defending a town from orcs. Exciting, yes?

Another aspect of games that can save slow, boring gameplay is an excellent story line. However, much like every other part of the game, the story is as generic and cliche as they come. You serve as a mercenary that serves in the battle against the war march of the Orcs and Goblins. Your standard semi-tolkien fare. If you play strategy games for the story, you might as well ignore this title.

All in all, this title is relatively forgettable on the whole. Die-hard, hardcore fans of the genre will undoubtedly pick up this title but if you are not one of the forementioned then do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere.

Highs
Runs well on Vista

Lows
The graphics are better off in a game made in 2003, the sound and music are generic and forgettable, the story is even more generic than the music.

Final Verdict
Unless you consider any game of this genre a must have, you may as well pass on this one.
