This is one storm-chasing RTS that can't escape The Suck Zone. [Sept 2011, p.60]

As soon as the novelty of elemental attacks wears off so does EoW's appeal. [Sept 2011, p.75]

Elements of War has hardly any redeeming features to make it a worthy recommendation, and with all the high quality RTS titles already out for PC it is easily overshadowed.

Finally, we get a successor to games like Blitzkrieg 2 or World in Conflict. Well done.

In the end, what Elements of War amounts to is wasted potential. There are good ideas here, but their execution is tarnished by mistakes that the bigger franchises have long since outgrown.

Lackluster feel of the classic real-time war strategy doesn't improve, neither futuristic weapons or extended campaign, so it's only an average piece. [Issue#204]

No matter how you slice it, Elements has very little to offer: If you prefer a top-notch strategy experience, stick with the essentials, like StarCraft 2, Shogun 2, and Dawn of War 2. If you want to play a great Kalypso-produced title, give Tropico 3 a try. And if you're just looking to play an RTS on the cheap, type "GemCraft Labyrinth" into Google. It's a free Flash-based tower defense game that's light years ahead of Elements of War in terms of fun and playability.
