    Glorious Companions Review

    A game of lost potential and many questionable choices

    2024 has been a good year for strategy games and even a good one for turn-based strategy games. A wide array of games saw release, with some being bad and others far surpassing expectations. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader saw a new DLC that was a welcome addition to a complete and fun game. Among other scenes, The Thaumaturge was a great game that found many fans.

    Amid all of this, we saw the surprise release of Glorious Companions on December 28, 2024. Developed and published by Ancient Forge, Glorious Companions is a turn-based RPG and Strategy game that lets you command a mercenary company as you travel the vast world of Tescara. The game harkens back to the elements of old turn-based RPGs with mechanics, movement, and gameplay reminiscent of tabletop games.

    [...]

    Overall, Glorious Companions is a game with many nice concepts but very poor executions. The genre struggles a lot, and among its many failures, Glorious Companions may just end up being one of them. It is neither big nor richly made. Its concepts are greater than their actual execution, and the overall content lacks any depth whatsoever. It needs a lot of polish and work to make it at least a playable mess.

    Right now, Glorious Companions suffers from a litany of bugs, long load times, and an array of poor game design choices and gameplay mechanics, but it still possesses potential for its ideas and open-world concept. It also has a good premise and storyline, and the overall mercenary system stands out as unique. It definitely has room to get better, and hopefully, it does.

    Score: 60/100
