Is It Any Good?
Strategy games are hard to make for a mass audience, but Jet Set Games has found the formula in Highborn HD. By blending tactical decision making with a good dash of humor and entertaining characters, it's accessible to mild fans of the genre, but core fans will find plenty to enjoy as well. The game's a good looking one, too. It wisely sticks with a 2-D model when you're moving your forces around the map, but goes into a cartoon-like 3-D during battles. The game has a lengthy solo campaign consisting of eight parts (and
another "chapter" on the way) as well as a rich multiplayer element.
