This was the third and final Lords of the Realm game developed by Impression Games, it was actually the last game Impression Games developed, trumpeting most people's opinion on this game.-Detailed breakdown review-Story: As is the theme for the Lords of the Realms Games, Lords of the Realm III takes place during the European Dark Ages. I'd love to say something very educational about the dark ages, but I'm not feeling very bright. *slaps knee*The only sense of "story" in Lords of the Realm III is in the text from the campaigns and battles where you're given a brief explanation, and sometimes a background of the battle or struggle you're about to participate in.For example, the text for the 1066, Hastings Battle gives a quick paragraph explaining how Harold of Wessex ended up fighting William of Normandy (William the conqueror).http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=799561606Gameplay: In Singleplayer you have two types of game modes: Campaigns, and Battles. The campaigns are taken a step forward, and two steps back from the Lords of the Realm II days. As an avid lover of Lords of the Realm 2, I'm definitely biased when it comes to what I expected from the game, but I most certinly didn't expect that I was going to need to read a manual to understand how to play Lords III.I actually noticed for the first time in my life, that steam actually sometimes provides game manual links on the store page. Here's the link for the Lords of the Realm III manual if you want to get a hint about what you're getting yourself into: http:\/\/cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com\/steam\/apps\/254860\/manuals\/Manual.pdfLets break the mechanics down the campaigns to two simple game modes: 1) Fighting\/Battle and 2) Economic\/Political.Where the battles are concerned not TOO much has changed, you no longer can control individual units, but that's kind of to be expected in this style of game. I found myself comparing Lords of the Realm III to Medieval total war. The bad news is there are other games that do this style of army-combat much much better then Lords of the Realm III... like... the Medieval total war games!Don't even get me started on the tactical-battle camera controls, you can move the camera around easily enough, you can use arrow keys or put your cursor to the edges of the screen to scroll your view around. But do you want to rotate your camera?Guess.... Guess what you do? No really, my review will be here.........Scroll wheel? Nope. Click in the scroll wheel? Nuh uh. Hold down "R"? You're ready to 3d model in blender. Some type of click or click combo on the ground? Nope.Z. ....Z! You press and hold Z, and then your camera will rotate. I'm dumbfounded, I didn't figure it out until I discovered the manual on the steam store. (And yes, one could say "well, that's what manuals are for", but there are certain game genre's you learn there's a certain type of controls to move about in the world, and it's not like the scroll wheel doesn't already zoom the camera in and out. They could have bound that control a wee bit better and then you wouldn't feel trapped looking at battles in three quarters view for the whole danged fight, that gets tricky when seiging and you can't see behind the wall.)The Economics or political side of the game is where it really tanks the game for me. I've actually put off writing this review because I'm having a difficult time articulating and explaining how THIS part of the game even works. (And again... I played lords II as a kid and loved it, I played the first Lords game, and figured out the controls on my own and could get into it... but this game is... you just gotta see it I'm planning on trying to do a video review on my youtube channel, but I'll try to explain here in the mean time.)http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=799561135Your food... religion, armies, and gold income are ALL based on serfs that act as province governors on your behalf. You juggle these suckers all over the place and set them in charge and then get the benefits of the serf you've put in charge. So if you want an army and castle, you need to put a KNIGHT in charge of a province. If you want to provide food for that army you need to put a Serf in charge of a province. If you want gold you need to put a Burgher in charge, and the last type of serf you can put in charge is a priest, because religion is a thing this time... and I haven't gotten far enough into a game to know WHY it's a thing or what it even does.I assume it would have an impact like in the total war series where people are more or less inclined to pick a fight with you if you're on good terms with sir Pope."Hey Atratzu, that doesn't sound so bad.... why are you being such a negative Nancy about this game?" Because that's just the first part, there are two "quality" levels of Serfs, Lesser Serfs whom are always available but not very effective and generally have many negative perks, and then "the rest of them". As you do well in combat more Serfs and knights of higher quality are eager to join your campaign.But now we come to the most annoying part: "How do you win?" You win a Lords of the Realm III campaign by controlling all of the states. Sounds pretty easy right? Definitely not, You, as the king or Lord need to wage multiple battles at the same time, IN REAL TIME, so you can be having some armies off batting each other in the faces with swords and arrows, and while they're doing that, you're firing one serf for another newer one which just popped up.Actually this is one of the highest PRAISES I have for the game, I absolutely love the idea of needing to multi-task your nation in this way. It would really make waging war a whole lot more complicated rather then fighting each battle yourself.So let me reiterate: While you're fighting a battle, you can join the battle and personally over see the fight or seige... but while you're in that view, time still goes on, and you could actually be invaded WHILE you're busy giving your undivided attention to a whole 'nuther part of the map.http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=799562011Conclusion: Ugh, there's so much more I could talk about regarding the mechanics in the game, but I think this is enough to give people a general idea of my experience with the game. Even now I'm not really sure if I like or dislike the game. And to me that means it falls right in between, if we're being hard nosed then that means you should go find a better game. If you're feeling forgiving and just want to experience a different game, look no further! This game is for you!Lords of the Realm III is definitely a hit or miss for people. Some say it's the game they were looking for and don't understand why the negativity, others hate it because it's a disappointment compared to the FANTASTIC beautiful strategy masterpiece which was Lords of the Realm II. (I'm definitely exaggerating, Lords of the realm II had it's own fair share of glitches, but the sprites, music, game play, and strategies it implemented made it a charming and cult classic game, this one on the other hand, well... Like I said in the intro, the fact that this was the last game Impression Games made is more then a little revealing.)You're welcome to agree or disagree, you're welcome to pick this game up for yourself and give it a try, I'm giving this game a solid "Neither" for recommend or unrecognized.As always, thank you for taking the time to read my review! My Name is Atratzu, and I approve this review.. always crash. Nope. That's all.. Lords of Realm 3 is a good game with a lot of strategy involved along with simple combat.Building castles, hiring knights and choosing where to attack is what it is about. You have to balance attack and defense to avoid losing your lands, and you have to choose what type of professional to put on each parcel like farmers, business people, priests, or knights. The parcels develop into stronger businesses over time if you can protect them.This game is a lot better than the reviews indicate. The negative ones are comparing it to other games which I have not played. Just play this game and enjoy it if you like the medieval era and the history of Ireland, England, France and Germany. Many great battles await.. Amazing Game. Hard to learn but amazing concept. I played it in childhood and it brings back nostalgic memories. Ah the good old days!. always crash
