I didn't feel very invested in this game, or its story, but I sat there pouring in the hours just the same. [May 2002, p.93]

By inherently alienating new players in combining two genres, and then providing too little incentive to win over RTS vets, the game becomes more of an upgrade for fans of the franchise, who want to control new races and explore some of the new features.

This might be the highest number of gameplay hours you can get out of a single RTS.

The only con with this game is you can't play this without bugs and crashes unless you Use Windows XP SP2, thankfully gog fixed that, it's otherwise the most funnest RTS ever.

I played so many hours with this game, especially skirmish mode, when you can level up your hero. Campaign was decent but not excellent.

Very good game, difficulty of keeping your skilled units alive is challenging but fun. Spend many hours on this tittle.

Deeper than the Marianas Trench. [June 2002, p.84]

But what separates Warlords Battlecry II from the horde are its scope and depth. You don't just have two or three races – you have 12. [June 2002, p.72]

his is a game style which you either like it or hate it. I think if you don't like this style of game you shouldn't rate the game, because you're not rating its quality, but rating by your taste over its genre. I personally liked it a lot, it's mainly based on your choices throughout the game, and it's more focused on the story than killing zombies like a ****.

It's part turn-based strategy, part role-playing, and part action-oriented real-time strategy wrapped up inside a highly playable design. And best of all -- it's a lot of fun to play.

There should be a warning on this game about it becoming habit-forming, because it certainly is that.

The hero development is well paced and offers great diversity to your heroes as they progress through the game.
