Company Bullfrog is famous for its strategy games, including Theme Hospital and one of their first games: PowerMonger is one of the most revolutionary games of its time. I admit that I have not heard about the game so far and somehow it has escaped my attention and at the same time strategies are my favorite genre. So what is this game about? You become a medieval duke and set out on a campaign for a vast empire divided among three rulers. The empire has dozens of different maps and environments, each of which requires a specific approach and tactics. The game is very complex, so you not only have access to various ways to control all aspects of the medieval war, but you also have access to a huge amount of information and data that will help you lead a successful campaign. It is through this processing and access to control that PowerMonger is one of the most sophisticated games, but the differences in the environment and the detailed graphics of each environment make this game truly unforgettable. It's a really great strategy game that still has a lot to offer today.
