Not *technically*. But spiritually, perhaps.

Wait.. waitwaitwait. Fantasy Wars is a remake of Fantasy General? Why the hell didn’t I know this?

I’m subscribed to Metaboli, and Fantasy Wars is among the game list. Guess I’ll be downloading that right this moment..

I can agree that Fantasy Wars was surprisingly fun. Impulse bought it yesterday through gamersgate since I was bored and they had it at 55% reduced price.

Turned out to be a great little game. Certainely not “AAA” in the “100 million budget” sense, but who really cares when it is so fun?

I really enjoyed Fantasy Wars, it could get devilishly hard later on if you weren’t careful though.

Fantasy Wars rocked. I still haven’t finished the Orc campaign, but working on it form time to time.

Surprisingly good game, really. Might not seem like a AAA title, but it’s fun throughout, which is good enough for me.

Fantasy Wars is in fact a remake of the classic SSI game “Fantasy General”. It provides the rules and the upgrading system of all the great SSI titles: Panzer General, Dynasty General, Star General, Rites of War…
The goal of these games is to lead your army through an entire campaign and to upgrade your units continously.
In my opinion it’s one of the best round based games available.
