What Gamespot Users have to say about Elemental: War of Magic
- Rating:3
The game was released way too early and apart from the major bugs I would doubt that the underlying game could deliver..
I never played the beta and only followed some of the comments posted about the game during its development. However I had some assurance of a reasonable expectation of it being a "finished" game as it was being written ... Read Full Review

Stardock's slide continues with this broken, frustrating, muddied mess of a game.
What happens when a game developer becomes so full of himself that he decides he can tell the customer one thing, while doing something else, and actually get away with it? Stardock's most recent release is a case stu... Read Full Review

When a child is born, you do not expect it to drive a car right away.

Could be a gem if AI , Document and Balancing is fixed. If you haven't bought it yet wait a month. Patch 1.07 is better.
Elemental can be a fun 4x game unfortunately the AI and Game Balancing needs a lot of work. Longtime 4x players might have fun but for new 4x players the Documentation is inadequate. I've been a Player since Beta 1 , ... Read Full Review

I read all the negative press on this game. I still bought the game and have a few words of wisdom.

I was disappointed with this game after placing a lot of hope into it.
I broke my cardinal rule when buying this - bought it before any reviews were out. I could have saved myself 50 bucks. The game is not terrible, it's not a bad game, (hence the 6/10 rating) but it's seriously a 2/10 comp... Read Full Review

Post patch 1.06 the game is starting to live up to its potential. Will only get better from here. Brads taking a sabbatical to work on the AI and stardock is making appropriate changes to a few systems that the public ar... Read Full Review

You sir, are no Master of Magic!
What can I say about this game that is good? The artsie graphics are neat. Other then that? Not much. The interface is horrible. The game play is dull. The sound is horrible, and the music is worse. The narration ... Read Full Review

This could turn out to be a decent game when they finish refining, tweaking, and patching… Read Review
Elemental is a cool idea and it's been implemented for the most part in the release. But right now the game may resemble a beta test for many people. If you run a nice system the game will still seem slow and bogged ... Read Full Review

And excellent game with massive potential, but its not finished, not quite yet.
I remember playing Masters of Magic from Microprose back in the 90s. I remember how good it was. The battles, the fantasy setting, the two realms of existence, the heroes. It was basically Civilization but set in another... Read Full Review
