Lornsword Winter Chronicle

Lornsword was regretfully not the console RTS I had envisioned when I first saw the trailer. It does a fine job of stripping the genre down to its essentials and working notably well with a controller, but outside of that it exists in a bland world where a third of the missions feel like a chore rather than an interesting challenge to overcome. The embryo of a solid console RTS game is there, but it needed more refining for it to stand out and become something truly special.
