Impressions
Wow, I am blown away! The Battle of Polytopia is a compelling strategy game that feels like a combination of Chess and Risk1. The game, built around the deep lore of Polytopia’s world, begins with you picking a starting tribe—your army—to explore and conquer with. Every tribe has its own design, terrain advantages, and, more importantly, a specialized starting advantage and unit type. For example, the Oumaji tribe starts off with a Rider, a special troop unit able to travel long distances, while the ∑∫ỹriȱŋ tribe can hatch Dragons as super units to take into battle.
As you conquer cities to add to your empire, discover technologies, forge alliances, and battle your enemies, you’ll enjoy the relaxing in-game music and sound effects, which are unique to each tribe—enhancing the game’s lore and immersion.
Hit Box
The Battle of Polytopia has kept me engaged as a player for years. It offers many different tribes to choose from and game modes such as Perfection (where you strive for the highest score), Domination (where you aim to eliminate your enemies), and Creative (where you pick your map type and play style). Between the varied play modes, random map generation, and tribes with their own mechanics and strategies, this game is bound to keep you entertained for a long time. Additionally, I would be remiss not to mention the multiplayer and pass-and-play modes that let you compete with your friends.
Game Quality
Polytopia has a passionate developer and a community that deeply enjoys the game, and it shows in the final product. From the attention to detail in the graphics, music, help wikis, balance, and mechanics, this game is finely polished. The game continues to receive updates, and the development team recently released Weekly Challenges, a game mode where players compete for the high score—each starting with the same challenge map.2
