Surprises are rare in Fantasy Wars, but this wargame with elves and orcs sure delivers when it comes to traditional turn-based strategizing. Developer Ino-Co has created both a paean to the past and a great antidote to overcaffeinated real-time strategy games. Missions here make you think, not just exercise your index finger. Intricately designed maps feature loads of carefully placed opponents, plentiful units boast numerous upgrades that let you build whole custom-crafted armies, and the easy-to-use interface makes it a snap to play in general. The only issue is difficulty that soars past merely challenging and into territory usually reserved for the masochistic.

Most elements of the game are engaging right from the beginning. Story and setting are derived from the usual Tolkien derring-do filtered through decades of D&D. Three campaigns are told from the points of view of humans, orcs, and an elven alliance (the usual suspects). There are also a handful of one-off skirmish maps and a couple of multiplayer modes of play available for hotseat matches, as well as over LANs or direct net connections (there is no online matching system, so you’re on your own looking for opponents). Gameplay mechanics follow the turn-based strategy template. You direct typical medieval military units ranging from infantry and bowmen to mages and siege weapons. Everything takes place on a 3D hex map that requires little camera fiddling to keep all units in sight and the interface perfectly spells out need-to-know information. For example, information might include how far units can move during turns and what the results might be in specific battles. Because so much is right at your fingertips and you rarely have to pause to look up stats, the quick-flowing action keeps you immersed in tactical considerations, not interface busywork.
