Glest

I love this game alot. I'm addicted. There are a few things I do not like, though.

First, there is only 2 factions and second there should be a multi-player online mode. I feel the that would tie this game together. The graphics are great even for a freeware game. I dare you to find a freeware game with these graphics. The game is fun, too because you can build a village and then mount, like, one huge attack against your opponent. I personally use the techs but with the magics.

The other game faction, I also enjoy playing because you can summon dragons and if you get, like, 10 you are pretty well invincible. The dragons fly. Also, you can make teams like 2 on 2, or 2 on 1, or even 3 on 1 which I suggest doing when you first start out.

Your resources: you may find a little difficulty gathering but once the game progress it becomes easier.

I also like the different selection of maps and you can play in the winter and the time of day changes. The game also has a decent sound track and sometimes when you select a unit what they say is funny.

All these things add to the overall greatness of the game. I've got dial up and if you do, it will take like 2-3 hours but don't worry the game is excellent and worth the download. I give it a 10 out of 10. If you are a real time strategy fan or any other kind of gamer, you will love this game the same as I do. I will be glad to see a second.

Wow, its too cool to believe this is freeware... the ones who create this game must be a rich person... to make these cool graphics and make this free. I recommend the download.

this game is awesome!!!! i love the fact that it only took 17 minutes to download!!! The only thing bad about it is i cant seem to connect to a server and play with people online.

Glest is not a usual freeware game. Most freeware games have poor graphics and only concentrate on gameplay. Glest is definitely not one of them - it has got awesome graphics and also a unique gameplay.

Glest is a real-time strategy game with a unique theme - magics vs humans technology. You can choose whether to use magics or technology before starting the game. As for me, I prefer magics because I can summon monsters, mages and even dragons. If you choose technology, you can summon the usual armoured soldiers and slay those monsters.

There's only ONE game mode, yes only one. Perhaps because they are still developing the game. If you are good at programming or bored doing nothing, you may help to develop the game because they, the creators, provides some tools and sourceforge files for players.

I believe, one day, this game will be much better. Just give those people some time to improve the game and hopefully keep the game as a freeware in the next ten years.
