Okay. I finally get it. I understand the appeal of real-time strategy games. And to think: all I had to do was play one.
Halo Wars 2 was my first stroll into strategy gaming, unless you include using a bold 3-5-2 formation in Fifa. This seems well set up for newcomers.
After a quick run over the training mode I ventured into multiplayer with some trepidation and the expectation of being on the receiving end of a modest butt-kicking.
But it wasn't as daunting as I thought. Of the multiplayer modes, Blitz is a pretty good representation of frantic all-out war.
Battles can turn on the use of a card in your deck which varies from vehicles and infantry to health and power upgrades. It can be an intense onslaught, fighting a war on multiple fronts requires quick-thinking strategy. But there is plenty of pleasure in turning the tide with the use of the right card.
