Another Heroscape-like game that I have enjoyed which is also free to download is Battle for Wesnoth. Again, not exactly Heroscape, but close! |
I'm planning to try MW Tactics at some point. I love playing Battle for Wesnoth. The factions are much less diverse than Heroscape of course, but I love grooming my units to get them to level up. A lot of fun tactics in that game.

Am also enjoying Battle for Wesnoth. This is actually Chinese RPG (not sure if Japanese also used the same style). I had played several Chinese titles of this type of RPG a couple of decades ago. And am happy to see these kind of games in English version... my Chinese isn't that good.

I remember thinking when I first started playing that it reminded me of some Asian RPGs I had played before (although I assumed they were Japanese), but that never crosses my mind now. In fact it seems pretty Western to me, but maybe it has changed since it first came around?

Just to clarify, I meant the RPG style. The story and characters were patterned after Western fantasies already. I believe it was specifically made for the Western audience. But the game play of using hex spaces, fixed damaged, fixed XP, number of turns, option to choose what each figure can level up to, each character has his/her own name, and such were distinctively the same from those old Chinese RPGs. I have to say that even the use of cartoonish or cute anime-like avatars and anime-style drawings remained the same. Graphics-wise, not much were changed, same size, maybe a little better but not too much difference. You'd probably won't notice the age if you play one of those 20 year old titles after this game. The only thing new here that I can remember is the presence of multiple campaigns and multiplayer capability.
