![]() I spoke to a person in their base and went back to the Longcoats (I didn’t really know what I was doing). After this, you seem to take control of the Flagbearer for the Commonfolk. You start off as the Longcoats (the blue guys) and eventually come to a mission where you recruit the Commonfolks (the red guys). There was one bit that slightly annoyed me in the campaign. This is what I've really enjoyed about it, not just the fact that it's rather different overall and fast paced, but the level rules also give it a unique and tasty flavour. Managing those mechanics, on top of trying to build up an army to expand and take down the enemy mills was quite difficult. You also only have a maximum food level of 200, as it spoils after that in this particular mission. Outside your borders, the sand is too hot and your health quickly goes down. The campaign is challenging, one level in particular got me for a while. When talking to one of them as the Longcoat Flagbearer, they asked me if I had seen a Swine they referred to by a number, which I can only assume was stored in a barrel somewhere for my troops to eat. It’s funny really, because during the gameplay you’re fighting for control of the mills and the farms are run by the Swine, but you’re eating them. I must say, the tales of war from an animals point of view are quite odd. The writing is quite amusing too, humorously dark but I like it. ![]() As you progress, you unlock more of the home base to run around and speak to more characters. In-between missions you get to run around your home base, speak to people and start missions, you can also replay the missions too. Some missions need you to survive a certain length of time as you fend off waves of enemies, some give you limited vision because of weather effects, you will break your comrades out of prisons and so on. The missions aren’t as simple as the multiplayer, making it really fun to play. The campaign is really quite engrossing and surprisingly varied overall, considering the simple nature of the game they've managed to do a lot with it. Thanks to this though, the game remains quite balanced. The units are slowly rolled out through the single player and it did seem like they each had different units, but that's just for the singleplayer. As you play each of them through the campaign it allows you to learn the mechanics for the multiplayer, so it serves as a story and a tutorial. ![]() Still, it felt sufficient in length and I didn’t really notice it due to the fast-paced nature of the game.Įach race has the same units available and the ability to quickly dig back to a mill. I’m unsure how long it took me as the Steam launcher for it broke a few times in the review build, meaning I had to launch it manually without any kind of Steam tracking. The game features a full campaign which the developers say sits around 15 hours. I tested it with the Logitech F310 as well as Mouse and Keyboard and it was perfect with them both. Even with the simple controls, there’s a surprising amount of different strategies you can use. You can send them all in to attack at once, or pick specific unit types to attack specific points. Instead, you wave your flag about looking important while rallying your troops around. You will be running around and ordering your troops, but you cannot directly attack. Instead of being some nameless commander, you’re right there in the battle as the Flagbearer. They've certainly succeeded in making me appreciate it. They've essentially taken the good bits of an RTS and tried to make people think about them differently, you might say they've partially re-invented the genre. It’s the type where you need to think quickly to outwit your opponent. There’s no worrying about the design of a base, to find out later it’s rubbish. Games are designed to only last 5-20 minutes, so it’s an ideal game for when you don’t have a lot of time. It’s a smaller, quicker and more focused game. ![]() While Tooth and Tail is an RTS game, it’s nothing like the usual base building and unit massing types we’ve seen before. ![]() It’s a slightly dark, but humorous take on riots and revolution featuring a varied animal cast. Tooth and Tail is an eat or be eaten world, one that is embroiled in a civil war. YouTube videos require cookies, you must accept their cookies to view. ![]()
