"Boring gameplay and weird community"
Version: Battle for Wesnoth 1.10.0
Pros
good music
Cons
Despite some good work on music and graphics, wesnoth is the most annoying game ever invented. One of the biggest deceitfulness is the clueless claim to be a strategic game, while it is only a chance based board, something between gambling and card games.
And no more interest can be added trying the online game, because the worst is the 'community', you have the feeling that this is some social experiment to measure how much impolite thing can go on. Regarding this point, inappropriate reactions from so-called moderators are worsening the whole stuff. -

"A great turn-based strategy game"
Version: Battle for Wesnoth 1.8.1
Pros
A huge variety of characters with interesting mixes of abilities populate a dizzying array of scenarios, some of which are user-generated.
Cons
Some of the user-generated scenarios have dead-ends, but that doesn't detract from the wealth of play.

"It Just Gets Better and Better"
Version: Battle for Wesnoth 1.6.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've been playing Battle for Wesnoth on and off for almost a year now and it is more fun every time I play. Each release significantly improves the game, though updating to the latest version almost always requires a full 200+ MB re-download. With this latest release I've been playing almost everyday, and soon convinced my brother to try multiplayer mode with me and it rocks! The game is a little difficult to get the hang of and it rarely gets easier, continuously upping the challenge. Along with all that other greatness of the main game, there is also a large and active fan base that creates new downloadable content on a regular basis.
Oh, and family friendly-wise, a few campaigns have violent artwork in-between battles, there is an occasional mild cursing (as in about once every five hours or so) and of course since it is BATTLE for Wesnoth, you do kill other people and creatures but it isn't very graphic. If the ESRB were to rate it I would predict an E10+ or T. -
"Even better!"
Version: Battle for Wesnoth 1.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Although the developers' will continue to strive for further improvements and new features, version 1.6 is a mature product, significantly better than previous versions graphically and in many other areas.
Improvements have been made to the Artificial Intelligence and the stats of many units have been rebalanced for better gameplay. There is a new mainline campaign and there have been worthwhile changes to the map editor. There are also new,original music tracks, and special clips for significant events in the game.
All in all, an even better product. Probably the best free open-source game yet produced, there are many user-contributed scenarios available to load into the basic game, both single-player and multi-player. -
