• Fantasy General II: Empire Aflame Review - 22 October 2020

  Empire Aflame (EA) is the second DLC pack for Fantasy General II (FGII). Deciding whether to purchase it is a fairly straightforward decision. If you are looking for a new story, set in the lands of Keldonia, then pick this expansion up. If you were hoping for any major gameplay additions or a new faction, then this is not for you. Yet, despite not moving the game forward in any major way, the gameplay is still solid, the mechanics still feel original and the experience is still fun. FGII's first DLC pack, Onslaught, introduced a more randomised or procedural campaign experience. There was a broad narrative which gave some context to the campaign, but it was vague enough to be applicable to any of the heroes you selected to play. The thirty maps that made up the campaign were procedurally generated, and it veered towards a more sandbox style experience. EA pivots back towards the origin…
