Mythical Warriors: Battle for Eastland

This is one of those games that literally screams the word 'amateur’ at you the moment you begin to play it. Dire graphics and laughable character animations don't get Mythical Warriors off to a good start, but the hugely repetitive and unrewarding gameplay combine with the lacklustre presentation to ensure this title will be taking its rightful place in the bin as soon as this review is finished.

It speaks volumes for the lack of depth in the game that it comes without a paper manual of any sort. Instead there are a couple of pages of text accessible from the main game screen to tell you all you need to know about the game from beginning to end. The actual game mechanics tread familiar territory: choose one of two sides and build structures and collect resources to amass sufficient numbers of military units to go and kill the enemy before they do the same thing to you. However, it’s all delivered in such an unconvincing manner and without the slightest attempt to create a believable atmosphere, that it’s unlikely you’ll get further than three or four missions into it before uninstalling and pretending it never happened. Not a classic then, clearly.
