Game Review: Stormfall is a decent strategy title. However, it would have been more interesting had developers added a robust battle system. An animated realtime combat or a turnbased battle system would be a great addition. I found combat too simple. Stormfall actually gives more importance to basebuilding and research than combat as most of the tutorial quests are centered on various structures, units and technology tree. Among social elements, the alliance system and the ability to summon powerful units via Facebook friends is a welcome addition to the game. While there are many modernage strategy games on Facebook, a medievalthemed strategy game was missing. Stormfall filled the void and although the game suffers from a few flaws, it does offer fun gameplay moments. Stormfall: Age of War presentation is quite stunning and the interface very easy to use. Tutorial quests will help you get accustomed to various options. Every option, from building and research buttons to quests are neatly tucked at their right places, allowing for easy interaction. The interface has a professional polish and is quite clutterfree. On the other hand, the visuals seem a bit dated. The retro look will remind you of '90s strategy games. The current generation of Facebook strategy games is graphically more appealing to the eye than Stormfall.

Game Review:

Stormfall is a decent strategy title. However, it would have been more interesting haddevelopers added a robust battle system. An animated real­time combat or a turn­basedbattle system would be a great addition. I found combat too simple. Stormfall actually givesmore importance to base­building and research than combat as most of the tutorial questsare centered on various structures, units and technology tree. Among social elements, thealliance system and the ability to summon powerful units via Facebook friends is awelcome addition to the game. While there are many modern­age strategy games onFacebook, a medieval­themed strategy game was missing. Stormfall filled the void andalthough the game suffers from a few flaws, it does offer fun gameplay moments.

Stormfall: Age of War presentation is quite stunning and the interface very easy to use.Tutorial quests will help you get accustomed to various options. Every option, from buildingand research buttons to quests are neatly tucked at their right places, allowing for easyinteraction. The interface has a professional polish and is quite clutter­free. On the otherhand, the visuals seem a bit dated. The retro look will remind you of '90s strategy games.The current generation of Facebook strategy games is graphically more appealing to theeye than Stormfall.

Stormfall social features are quite similar to other strategy games on Facebook. Arefreshing social aspect is the inclusion of a real­time chat system which allows players toconverse while playing. Another interesting feature is the addition of "Wraiths" ­ a fun socialmechanic that turns your Facebook friends to powerful mythical creatures. You cansummon them to strengthen your army and win battles against enemies. You can also seekan alliance with other players and trade resources and weapons with them by clicking ontheir castles. Adding friends is crucial as they will up the win percentage in battles and alsohelp you acquire more resources. You can play the game here:http://ageofwargames24.com/

Stormfall gameplay will remind you of old school strategy games like Age of Empires andMight & Magic. It follows the age­old base­building/resource­gathering game mechanics,allowing players to build their own military and resource­generating structures. Afully­voiced tutorial explains bare­basics of the game with the help of simple quests. Youmay wish to ignore those quests, but there are so many structures to get familiar with that itbecomes impossible to progress through the game without completing the tutorial mode.

Each structure plays a key role in strengthening your defenses and the military. Somestructures will also allow you to recruit magical units and legendary monsters like dragons,warlocks, wyverns and warlocks. It is important to identify with each structure and their useto ensure you extract key resources (iron, food, gold) for recruiting units and building keydefense structures. Stormfall: age of war's research tree also plays an important role.Known as Lost Arts, the tech tree not only lets you research new weapons and structures,but also special powers and abilities that may help you in the long run. Without it, you won'tbe able to upgrade their units, research new weapons and unlock new buildings.
