Armies of Exigo demo

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffAugust 24, 2015The rise of the horrific race of the Fallen has thrown the world of Exigo into turmoil, pitting the factions of Empire, Beast, and Fallen against each other. Armies of Exigo's contribution to the real-time fantasy genre promises to be a split between aboveground and underground worlds, which could open up an entirely new set of tactics. The demo's gameplay is standard resource collecting, technology development, and real-time battles between humanoids and monsters. However, it doesn't demonstrate the potential of multilevel battles and displays the underground world only briefly. It's all fun in the impressively detailed 3D world, but it's nothing to scream about. Veteran real-time gamers will pick up the game easily, but newbies should peruse the read-me file first, since the demo includes no tutorials, help, or control information. Some necessary interface functionality went missing in this first demo. You can't zoom or rotate the view with the mouse; you can't save or load games; and you can't select all units by type with hot keys. While the two-leveled universe of Exigo looks intriguing, the demo's gameplay didn't impress us as much as we hoped.
