Rating: 2.9 (37 votes cast)

IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SCANDINAVIAN NIGHTS, only the best protected cities dare to sleep with one hope…to resist the attacks of the hordes of Vikings, Orks and Cimmerians. The magical and fantastic creatures are not the only dangers. Behind the fortifications an increasingly dangerous arsenal of war machines is created in a unique aim: The destruction of the mystical citadels!

Vikings and the Cimmerians used to live in peace… until one fateful day taking advantage of the absence of his elder brother

Korin, Karon the Cimmerian propelled his kingdom into a bloody war against the Vikings.

Incarnate Barmalay, leader of the Vikings, in search of freedom. Then join Korin, the overthrown Cimmerian king, trying to restore

peace and reclaim his throne. Complete all three epic campaigns to finally bring peace back to the kingdom devastated by magical

creatures and fratricidal wars.

Much more action focused than the best-selling Stronghold™, BESIEGER focuses on action and strategy related to the state of siege.

With impressive graphics and a high level of detail seldom reached, Besieger brings Real Time Strategy to a new platform.

at your own citadel under attack

• An innovative economic management system: build houses and they will automatically be populated

• 12 huge levels with splendid graphics, 40 types of different buildings, 20 models of units

• A detailed and realistic universe made up of animals and natural elements, with climate and day & night management

• Multiplayer on LAN and Internet; up to 16 players per server, and different original modes: Deathmatch, Capture the Flag,

Cooperation, Hold Artefact and Free for all

Besieger review

By ratbat posted 1st July 2010

This surprisingly fun and deep game runs very well on my Windows 7 netbook. It received bad reviews when it came out, but time and technology have been kind to it. At its heart, it's a very competent basic RTS. Its selling point/quirk is that the focus is almost entirely on either defending or attacking, almost a Stronghold Crusader Lite. The economy and micromanagement are much simpler than in Firefly's Stronghold series, putting the focus squarely on tactics. Gameplay is very satisfying, and there's a nice story to the main campaign. Note: I have not tried to play multiplayer.
