However, while BattleForge requires players to understand only the most rudimentary tactics, mission design is complex and varied enough to keep even veteran strategy fans on their toes. Players will need to deal with multiple mission objectives at the same time and learn quickly how to split their armies into several functional groups, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and goals -- and without going over the unit cap. It's not rocket science, but it is undeniably challenging. BattleForge could keep players who cue to its odd mixture of strategy, trading cards, and online play continuing to boot up the game night after night for months, if not years.
Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
