Human kingdoms sometimes band together against the empires of the Fallen, but each faction strives for ultimate dominance.

Elemental: War of Magic review

The game offers a choice of 10 different civilizations, each of which is distinguished not only by its strengths, but also by weaknesses. The player also chooses the most suitable card and the number of opponents on it. For each successful battle points are awarded, which can later be used both to improve your garrison and to purchase more powerful military installations.
We have to fight not only with other civilizations, but also with magical creatures who were nearby and decided to look and feast on. The most important resource of Elemental: War of Magic is money. If you managed to create a city near the gold mine - the first step to victory was taken, but this fact increases the interest of neighboring cities. The plot is full of not only epic fights using magic, but also the development of ordinary peasant life inside the fortress. ScreenshotsSystem Requirements
