What players say
I'm really enjoying Tribes of East! It's an engaging strategy game with plenty of charm, and it's easy to get immersed in its world. If you're a fan of classic strategy games, this one is definitely worth checking out. The only downside I've encountered is that having too many save files can occasionally cause the game to crash during loading. Other than that, it's a very enjoyable experience.

Difficulty of last mission completely messed up with it suddenly going from 10 to a 100 in the same map even on easy difficulty with no meaningful way of strategizing your way out of it, other than going back an replaying almost two entire campaigns to make the hero so busted for this specific type of battle you can overcome a ridiculous army imbalance. Also way more annoying time-wasting maps than the main game or...
