  Solid little multiplayer title. If you like to get a quick fill on a multiplayer turn based strategy game then I highly recommend this title. It is very simple and straightforward but it will definitely get you thinking as to how to outsmart your oppenents. For $5.00 you cannot go wrong in my opinion. WARNING If you are looking for an in depth single player experience then this game is not for you and clearly it was never designed to be. It does what it does pretty well and doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.

  A great little gem, perfect for fulling my strategy needs. Games are very nice and quick, easy to pick up and play when you get a few minutes to spare. The drafting phase is especially well done, forces both players to come up with new strategies on the fly. It's very satisfying to be able to predict what your opponent is planning from their draft and then to see your own plan come in to action. It's also pretty fresh to see a well designed simultaneous turn based game, not many games like this on Steam. The game looks great too, very pleasant lush look, kind of reminds me of Fable.

  Buy it. Seriously. It's like chess enriched with the element of randomness and incomplete information. The random pool of units, simultaneous turns and well-balanced units grant a deep strategic challenge. A match usually takes 6-15 minutes (with a tendency towards the lower end), making it a perfect game to play during boring lectures. Although it is early access, it is not the typical tech demo disguised as early access. There are no significant bugs and the developers appear to be very active and responsive to the suggestions of the community. I challenge you personally to battle against king Jackreacher!

  This is really a great little turn based game! Quite simple but addicting. Just a little field and you can only play the same game vs AI / friends / random people online. I just hope some more people gonna join. After only 3 hours playtime im in the top 20. Would never have noticed the game if it wasnt in the "latest updates" section and i clicked it. I love turn based games but most of them take quite some time to get used to and each game last for a longer time. This one is easy to get into and the games are quite short so you can log in ´just to play a few rounds. I already got my 5€ worth of fun from it. so i clearly recommend it!

  Not a bad game but there needs to be more. Also not enough real people online to battle against . I am always ending up fighiting some bot instead of a real person. I wont give this a negative review because I do like some points of this game but there needs to be more units and different types of battlegrounds. The game gets old quickly . So add new types of units , different maps and need more people online and a few other add ons and this game would be a gem. I would give the game a 6/10 for now . My review may change as this game progesses.

  I do like this little tactical game. However the single player is far too easy: its only value is to get used to the game. The meat of the game should be in the multiplayer, but it has been very hard for me to find opponents lately. However I did play several online matches, and thus far I won all of them, every time using the same strategy. This makes me wonder if there are other valid strategies as well... I also feel like some of the soldiers you can choose from are always the best choice and some are always worst. Why a thumbs up? Because I like the simple rules and I like the way it plays out like a boardgame but in ways that couldn't easily be brought in practice in a real tabletop game. And most of all because I would like you to join and fight me :) EDIT: No thumbs up anymore. Something needs to be done to bring the multiplayer alive (or to provide a challenging computer opponent) but I see no signs this is happening.

  Ive played my fair share of difficult and hard to learn games. Ive grown up with the mean games you could find on the NES/SNES and similar ones. But Ive seldomly felt as lost as when Ive clicked "issue orders" in this game. This game is just really really random and it makes you feel really bad about the choices you make because theres very little to know about what happens at what time and why. What the game taught me that I couldn't have explained to myself: - all of your units lose 1 hitpoint if your general dies - Attacking units deal more damage than defending units What the game taught me that I couldve explained to myself: - units have different place in the row (something like initiative) - units have hitpoints - units have more initiative closer to the general What it didnt tell me: - how close to the general do they have to be? - can you tell units to walk here and attack there? If not why do the crossbowmen say cannot attack after moving and the bowmen say cannot move after attacking? Like what the hell? Is that a joke? - how do you know whether your archer can do something before his archer? Is it just random? Sounds fun. And the biggest question of all - Why cant I give my units orders after one another? I cannot react to anything. Its the second unity made game with this weird restriction of giving orders pre-everything and I have no idea why. Its not fun all it does is make it random. Sure you can try to read what your opponent will do but he can counteract it by doing something differently. It all ends up being random. Especially if you add in the fact that units of the same type seemingly randomly attack after one another, which can easily determine win and loss seeing that attackers deal more damage. Overall I wanted some strategic game to play every once in a while but it looks like a mess to me. Sure if you can chew through it, maybe theres depth that will forever be lost on me. But Id rather get my refund through while I still can. It wasn't worth my 1.50 €.

  I don't give thumbs-up often, but when I do, it's for games like this. Rise isn't a game you play for its complexity. You play it like you play Chess. It has very simple mechanics, but understanding how they come together is the hard part. Heck, this game is better than Chess, way better. Chess is a game that's plagued by alternating turns, using the same pieces all the time, and having to play with them in the same position. Bobby Fischer improved on this through Chess 960 that randomized the pieces in the back line, but Rise goes one step further in randomizing your whole army. You start with a blank board, and after a random draft of the five types of pieces, you take turns placing them in your starting area. This doesn't create a problem like Chess either because while going first gives you first dibs so you know you won't miss out on a rare piece type, going second lets you pick the counter to that unit. This means you can't be good at Rise like you can in Chess. You can't memorize a book of openings, get used to certain patterns from the opening combinations, or simply practice your end game techniques to finish. Rise forces you to constantly adapt in little ways, especially since all the pieces move at once. Traps don't involve taking advantage of how one piece moves at a time and choosing which piece to move. Instead, you have to take advantage of the rhythm of the board and disrupt the overall harmony of the opponent's force. On the other hand, you're not playing a real time strategy game here either which means rhythm and harmony aren't subject to how fast you click. The game takes command realism a step further by letting units closer to your general move first, letting more agile units go before sluggish units, and letting units deployed first go before units deployed after. Furthermore, if your general dies, then you don't lose right away unlike getting checkmated in Chess. Instead, your units just become weaker, so "counter-check" and "breakthrough" strategies are feasible. Your general is also the strongest unit on the board unlike how your queen is stronger than your king. The one problem with Rise is it doesn't have a very active player base. The game kind of feels like a beta version because of that. You can't chat in games, add friends from games, or host tournaments. That said, if you have friends who like games like this, you will enjoy playing this regularly with them just for fun. It's the kind of game where you can learn each other's playstyles over time, and joke around about how you're used to each other playing a certain way and got surprised when you guys did something unexpected.
