Celtic Kings: Rage of War

"Celtic Kings - Rage of War is the right choice for all RTS fans and almost all RPG fans. I am saying this because this game is really more of a strategy than a real RPG. This is far from bad… on the contrary; the guys from Haemimont Games did a good job combining what is hard to combine."

"While the beta I received only contained a limited gameplay experience, it was obvious that Celtic Kings: Rage of War has the opportunity to snag quite a few RTS fans, especially those fond of offerings in the vein of Warlords Battlecry II. The detailed 2D graphics, monstrous maps, and innovative RTS features are sure to garner it some attention. If the gameplay is as good throughout the game, Haemimont could have a real winner on its hands."

"If you just like real-time strategy games, then try out Warcraft III. If you want a historical real-time strategy game, then, heck, play Age of Empires II. But only play Celtic Kings as a last resort."

"A game like Celtic Kings: Rage of War gives new life to two genres often viewed as past their prime. Haemimont has proven that hack-n-slash role-playing and traditional real-time strategy gaming can still be lively and entertaining. It took some added effort on behalf of the developer, but the end result makes you appreciate two genres in a way that's been virtually impossible due to the overkill of the past five years."

"Haemimont Games has done an admirable job of bringing together two different types of games."
