Harold Page, takes us into medieval times, right into the middle of the conflict between Scots and English. The protagonist is a young noble by the name of Guy de Rose, who inherits a great castle after his deceased father, and has to establish a firm grip over his domain, earn the respect of local population, and thwart the plans of an enemy, who wants to take over his inheritance. The mechanics do not venture far off the standards of the genre, and the gameplay boils down to following the plot (which is non-linear to a considerable degree) and influencing the events by choosing one of the available courses of action. A lot of emphasis has been placed on creating and maintaining relations with other characters. The game is seasoned by some RPG elements that allow the development the hero's statistics.

Battle Champs
February 11, 2015
Strategy, Economic, Internet, jRPG, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
A mobile strategy game and a debut production of the Japanese studio BlazeGames. Akihiko Yoshida, art director of such hits as Final Fantasy Tactics or Bravely Default, was involved in its development. Battle Champs bears a resemblance to the famous Clash of Clans — the player’s task is to gather resources, build a settlement, and then defend it from other participants’ attacks. Apart from regular combat units, giants play an important role in Battle Champs. The story campaign is divided into a number of various missions where we learn the rules of the game — from the basics to advanced strategies. Apart from that, the game features a multiplayer mode that lets players form groups to fight giants, perform joint missions as quickly as possible in Time Trial, or assault other people’s bases. Battle Champs features a typically Japanese visuals style, although the developers made sure it offered high-quality animations and interesting details.
