Augmented Empire for Steam was sent to me by Coatsink and is a turn-based strategy RPG. The story is pretty straightforward: you live in Savannah in the year 2058. The world is a corrupt place, divided by class and who you know, more than by ability and what people deserve or have earned. Your choices will change all that, maybe.
The game plays great, as no time during my time did I experience any sort of stutters, slowdowns, or crashing. The hand-drawn maps and backgrounds are gorgeous as well.
The game is rather short, and the battles are pretty simplistic compared to other games in the genre. Only 26 battles, which can be beaten in about 10 hours. This isn’t bad, though the game only has a price tag of about $8.
Now you all know by now when I review games, I review them based on games around a similar price point. The problem I have here is that I really don’t have anything to compare this with. The story is good, but not great. It doesn’t do anything new, but what it does is solid and worth a playthrough. The graphics aren’t great but for the price they are damned good. The voice acting is comparable to games at twice the price, easily.
I find myself wanting to give this game a 9/10. The game isn’t the best, but it is one of the best games out there at this price point. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
