It's meh... 3/5 stars was right. It reminds my of Ultima for some reason.

The combat system is pretty screwed, and the dialogue is very iffy.

And that camera! Maybe there's a setting I haven't found yet that makes it suck less.

At least it doesn't need a very powerful computer to run it.

I have encountered anything about the futurism vs medieval in the demo yet.

Now THIS is going to be fuuuuuun...

Seems Arkanar is gonna have some magic to counter the tech... but still, this should be hilarious. I hope they don't take it too seriously. The title hints they won't.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

Read a little more closely.

It clearly states that the earth advances in technology AFTER the war occurred, not before. .

]]> <![CDATA[Smite Primitive Screwheads With Your Laser Gun]]> I wonder how they fought an interplanetary war if one side has nothing more than swords and pitchforks. Is magic involved?

]]> <![CDATA[Smite Primitive Screwheads With Your Laser Gun]]> @brent_w: Two seperate planets aren't fighting in the medieval era, One planet is the battle ground, and they have Medieval-era0like technology.

]]> <![CDATA[Smite Primitive Screwheads With Your Laser Gun]]> I've only dreampt of going back into the middle ages (they weren't all dark) and being treated like a god, not a demi-anything. You think I'd tell them I was just mortal when I can have them believe I'm the Son of God returned to save them? I'd play that card for all it was worth.

Then I saw they were the same guys behind Fantasy Wars, which was one of my fav games last year.

]]> <![CDATA[Smite Primitive Screwheads With Your Laser Gun]]> @Dresarius: I am stunned at the difference between your links and the linked press release in the main story (this post is based largely on the info in the presser). The book sounds infinitely more interesting than the game, to boot.

the game the presser describes sounds only tangentially like the book - not the first case of a press release failing to be accurate, especially one that seems to have been process through BabelFish a couple times.

]]> <![CDATA[Smite Primitive Screwheads With Your Laser Gun]]> this would be a lot cooler if it was more akin to "reverse stargate movie" instead of "having nothing to do with actually being a god or apparently acting in any manner like one but it is a good title so let's use it"

related Arthur C. Clarke quote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

How did 2 different planets go to war in the midevil era? "

With 'Ye Old Medieval Starship'.

or there was a wormhole generator left over by some ancient uber tech race that mystiersly died off, and everyone just uses that.

]]> <![CDATA[Smite Primitive Screwheads With Your Laser Gun]]> @brent_w: If you read the description, one of the planets develops technology while the other doesn't, thus one planet is able to send people to the other planet (God knows how) and you fight against people who have stayed in the "What we know as" medieval ages.

This is all well and good, but we'll see whether or not an M-1 Tank can survive a direct hit from the Hand Grenade of Antioch.
