Is Elemental War of Magic any good.

Ok so my wife and I are getting a little tired of playing Civilization 4 and are looking for a new game of the similar type. I am wondering if any of the fine members here have tried out "Elemental War of Magic" and would like to know what the general thoughts are on it?

We tried Civilization 5 but didn't care for it.

Do they have a trial version or demo of the game that you can download and try?

I have tried to find the demo but can't seem to locate one.

I didn't find one on the site, so the chances are pretty good that there isn't one.

There was supposed to be one some 2 months ago or so. I don't recall it ever showing up anywhere and it isn't to be found now either it seems.

From the pre-released testers and reviewers, I've heard they are not impress and it's scored low.  Decent strategic foundation, but horrific bugs, missing features, a poor interface, and plenty of other defects. I would suggest it's rubbish (4/10).

Good luck finding a great game to play! Maybe go for Starcraft II if your online connection is good and that is your style of real-time strategy gameplay. I would make a lot more suggestions as I'm a gamer, but I more perfer First Person Shooters and RPGs, etc. The only turn-based strategy game I can currently think of you might be interested in is Heroes of Might and Magic.

Azzaboi,

Thanks for the info. I played the old starcraft games but don't think my wife would like playing it very much. We are looking for a game that we can play together.

I myself am a gamer also but my wife and I like playing different types of games so it is rare when we find one like Civ that we enjoy playing together.

I am planning to purchase and play Civilization 5, I just need to update first my video card. Care to share why you don't like it?

I guess it was just the changes they made to the game. It didn't really feel like a "Civ" game. I would suggest that you download the demo before you buy it.

Thanks for the advice. I will do that.
