Battlecry computer game




















In addition to the single-player campaign, Warlords Battlecry offers both a Skirmish mode in which you fight up to five computer-controlled players on either standard or random maps as well as multiplayer action for six via LAN, four over the Internet, or two by modem.

As with the single-player campaign, the game combines combat, heroes and magic in a blend of action requiring formation of armies, spell casting, questing, combat and empire building. An automatic resource gathering option allows you to focus on strategy in lieu of resource management, if desired. There are 16 tutorial scenarios provided to help learn nuances of gameplay in Warlords Battlecry.

Seven deal with basic gameplay and cover such topics as how to move your armies, attack, defend, build structures, cast spells and so forth, while the other nine concentrate on tactics for each of the nine races in the game. The nine races are divided into three groups, civilized, primitive and magical, with each group consisting of three factions.

Battlecry Announcement Trailer Check out the first bloody trailer for Battlecry. How Bethesda Designed Battlecry's Female Characters The developer wanted to make sure the PC game's female characters are "not something you would see at a strip club. This game is just cool'a definite must have for fans of the original series and even gamers who love a good action title. Other's who don't like anime' or mech games will surely take a pass. The very least you could do is rent it.

Robo-what now? The average PlayStation-generation gamer may not remember this classic cartoon series, but trust us, it's awesome. Great characters, huge battles and super-cool transforming robots called Veritechs made it one of the defining animated shows of the '80s. Now, over 15 years later, we finally get a Robotech video game. And it's a good game to boot. Robotech fans will finally be able to live the life of a Robotech Defense Force pilot, flying every model of Veritech from the show including the Super and Armored versions in ground, air and space missions.

But you don't need to be a Robotech geek to get into Battlecry. At the end of the day this is just a kick-ass action game everybody should check out and play. The first time you start up Robotech, you're thrown right smack into a dogfight in the skies over Macross Island and the grounded SDF-i battle fortress.

For me, a hardcore fan of the TV series, it was like a dream come true. The missiles were flyin', the planes were transformin' and I was in heaven. The developers did a great job of forcing you to take advantage of your transforming Veritech by giving all three modes distinct strengths and weaknesses.

It's not nearly as unwieldy as it sounds, either. By the third mission I was pretty much comfortable with every form of my mech, and knew when to change into what. In fact, the controls in general are great.

The only catch is understanding how to use your various abilities the proper way during some missions-- especially ones where you have to protect an ally. I don't have a problem with escort missions in general, but Robotech never makes it clear how you should go about accomplishing your goal, and the key to protecting a target in one sortie won't necessarily work in another.

It can get frustrating. Plus, I wish the game included a way to target enemies that aren't in your direct line of sight. It would have cleared up just about every problem I have with Battlecry. In the end, though, the lock-on issue only becomes a pain during a handful of the many missions you'll take on in Robotech, so it doesn't ruin the overall game. Definitely check it out. Half the fun comes from your fighter's three transformations, which are more than mere cosmetic quick-changes.

You'll need to flip between them constantly, picking the right mode for the current threat or target. It's what makes the game's chaotic moments so thrilling. Mission variety is solid, and most are short and sweet, so you don't redo much stuff over and over if you fail. My only gripe: A few escort missions are maddening. They're especially frustrating in space, where targeting particular enemies is extra tricky.

For those who witnessed the unfolding drama of the Robotech television series as a kid, Battlecry is a momentous game that's both nostalgic and fun.
