Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin - Order vs. Chaos vs. thumbsticks vs. multitasking
1As someone who has always enjoyed playing real-time strategy ports on console – going all the way back to Command & Conquer and Red Alert on the PS1 – Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin feels like a case study on what does and doesn’t work when you have to work around the limitations of a gamepad. During the cinematic-heavy campaign, there were times I was reminded of the methodical, scripted approach Blizzard pioneered with the StarCraft and WarCraft III – a design that works well enough on console when the player has more control over the pacing. The rest of the time – by which I mean a third of the campaign missions and every other mode: AI skirmishes, Conquest, or multiplayer – it often felt like trying to play a fast-paced, lane- and territory-control-focussed MOBA with a severe handicap.
