Field of Glory II Critic Reviews

Field of Glory 2 is for PC wargames what Destiny 2 is for online FPS.

Field of Glory II is a testament to the sheer wealth of consideration and ingenuity that Slitherine and Byzantine games have put into hybridizing a tabletop and digital strategy experience. The game’s battles feature a depth that will invite new players to explore and learn while making veteran strategy gamers work overtime to wring success from its turn-based battlefields. Learning the rules can be overwhelming, but putting them successfully into action against an enemy force feels great. Some sound elements could be better and it’s a shame that the vast number of factions aren’t utilized a little further, but with creative modes like the map editor, we may very well see some fantastic user-generated campaigns down the line. All-in-all, Field of Glory II lives up to its legacy and delivers a sheer technical depth that will keep tactical minds engaged from start to finish.

Field of Glory is an excellent turn-based strategy game, with a high degree of historical rigor and a high level of difficulty that makes it not suitable for all types of audiences. The recreation of armies and units that compose it are made with care. There are a lot of battles available, five campaigns, a local editor, a basic multiplayer and the possibility to enjoy scenarios created by other members of the community.

Field Of Glory II is one of the best wargames you can have, another great work made by Byzantine Games.

Field of Glory II, coming from strategy powerhouse publisher Slitherine and Byzantine Games, offers what is to be expected. A digitized version of the tabletop version, offering pleasing visuals, automated calculations and dice rolls and an asynchronous multiplayer mode, on top of plenty historical battles and a campaign mode. Those that are not familiar with those surroundings will find themselves in a non-streamlined, hardcore turn based tabletop simulator, that requires many hours of study to make sense.
