Eador: Masters of the Broken World is a strategy video game made by Russian company Snowbird Game Studios. It was released in 2013 and is a remake an older game, Eador: Genesis.

Gameplay[edit]

Eador: Masters of the Broken World mixes gameplay elements of 4X games, role-playing video games, and turn-based tactics.[1] Players take the role of a demigod who seeks to unite a world broken into different shards. Each shard is a different map that must be conquered. On each map, players select a hero to lead their army, build up an empire, and recruit fantasy creatures to be in their army. Battles between armies are tactical and turn-based, as in the Heroes of Might & Magic games.[2]

Development[edit]

Eador: Masters of the Broken World is a remake of Eador: Genesis, which was published in 2009.[2] Eador: Imperium, a standalone expansion, entered early access in 2016.[3]

Reception[edit]

The game received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[4] On release, some publications criticized the game's bugs. Hardcore Gamer called it "not worth the headache",[5] and GameSpot said, "Any enjoyment derived from Eador: Masters of the Broken World is buried beneath a landslide of inexcusable technical issues."[6] While acknowledging the game's bugs and "often-disastrous implementation", Game Informer wrote that it is "worth your time" and has excellent design.[7] In recommending the game, Rock Paper Shotgun said the game initially seems a bit stereotypical of turn-based fantasy games, but gameplay becomes much deeper as time goes on.[2] PCGamesN's reviewer found the game's difficulty frustrating but said that the game's difficulty and poor user interface made it sweeter when winning.[8] In 2018, PC Gamer included it in a list of best 4X games, recommending it to players looking for a different experience than typical 4X games.[1]
