CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Taking unit models from the classes and races of EverQuest's massively multiplayer RPG, this knockoff adds nothing to the RTS genre and suffers from a range of problems. As in most real-time strategy games, you have to mine a resource (here, platinum), build units, and destroy the enemy base or perform other typical missions. Of the three factions in the game, the demo lets you play only for the Dawn Brotherhood. We found the units either too weak or too strong. The game has serious control problems, too. You can't build formations, and your unit's behavior reverts to "aggressive" each time you issue a movement order, so keeping them from suicide attacks becomes a problem. EverQuest fanatics may be eager to load this 200MB demo just to see their favorite clerics and dwarves in another setting. However, we suspect strategy buffs won't be much interested in this good-looking, but in other respects mediocre, RTS.Publisher's description
From Sony Online Entertainment :Lords of EverQuest is a revolutionary real-time-strategy game inspired by the lore of the online gaming phenomenon EverQuest. Control lords and colossal armies as you battle for total domination of the lands of Antonica. This single-player demo features one complete mission from the Dawn Brotherhood faction.
