60 of 99 · most liked firstWay back in 1997, an extremely well designed RTS game, Age of Empires, blew many players away. Granted the gameplay at the time was similar to the ‘big two’ being Command and Conquer and Warcraft, it stands out due to its storyline as it ties in playing out our history. Personally, I loved it because you get the play out the Stone Age as no other games done this effectively since. Fast forward to 2008, another RTS game arrived where you can play out the Stone Age (with some twists) and filled…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun quirky strategy game that is fun to play but I bought the game on sale when it was much cheaper. Definitely do not buy it for full price, compared to other RTS games that are made today it is not as good but it brings some of that old-school RTS feel with it and is good for gamers that remember the challenging mechanics and playstyles of old RTS games. It has an interesting campaign and a fun variety of units but the graphics are dated and the online is all but dead. If its on sale…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I won't say anything bad about this game because it's obvious when you look at the screenshots and because a Steam friend gifted this game to me. All I will say is that I do not recommend this game to anyone! The only good thing about this game is that it made me want to play Warcraft 3 again. However, I believe that any game deserves respect so I'll at least upload a proper artwork to this game's Steam tab before forgetting it forever.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a traditional RTS where you collect four resources which you later use to build structures and create army. The strategy is not revolutionary in any way, though you do have some interesting elements such as a secondary quest system and a possibility to travel between maps. The biggest drawback is the graphics. Everything would have been much better if the devs had paid more attention to the engine. If, on the other hand, you're into old school strategies, but don't mind the graphics,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: ✅ Funny and enjoyable story. ✅ Responsive controls and smooth unit pathing (not surprising since it runs on the Warcraft III engine). ✅ Great value for the price (about 13 hours of gameplay).…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice combination of Warcraft and AoE in Stone Age with dinosaurs. To everyone, who played and liked those 2 games, this is nice game for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok it was cheep and I got what I payed for. But I would have been better off buying a pack of gum.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terribad, it is kind of shameful that this game preformed worst than the 1st starcraft. I mean it was made in 2008. So many bugs when playing, The cost may have been $1 but it wasn't even worth that. This is my first review and I am only making it because this game is that bad and i don't want anyone else wasting a dollar. My bad though didn't read the reviews prior to buying it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the dated and simple graphics (and the music tracks not appealing to me), this game turned out to be quite fun to play. Be prepared to restart some stages a few times as it is all too easy to lose a unit that "must" survive to complete a quest. BC Kings has some really good design innovation elements, but not all of these are flawlessly implemented. If you are looking for a more polished product that has some similar gameplay elements - look at Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III.…

Such a weird title. But not because it's a weird game, or something. It totally isn't. It's pretty generic one, actually. It's just the whole idea is pretty much crazy. The whole story of this game is that one guy really wanted to make his own WarCraft. Or Age of Empires, since this game may look like both of them at the same time. Anyway, that's why…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, especially for the low price tag! It gets a little laggy when you start stacking troops. Me and my friend colletively had around 500 troops and several hundred buildings, which caused our games to crash. Still a great game through that, a lot of replayability!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great memories. (anyway this game doesn't have multiplayer)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good relaxing game! Till there... - The graphics are really OLD. - The AI is NOT that much when computing next moves in auto. - Gives the idea of games older than 1998 in overall interface. - NOT something really fascinating than the Good Story Campaign.(Some people will not like that either) But the Developer really made a HARD Work in that I have to admit !!! - It has some new ideas like including other maps in the already playable. Just relaxing. Nothing MORE... That 's why I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crap, buggy as hell, don't buy it. There are better games around then this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An extremely fun and cheap little RTS. The gameplay is identical to Warcraft 3 but if you are a strategy fan you would definitely want to consider picking this up on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Welp. This game was a waste of $0.99... Sat here and tried to play it for 5 minutes... and couldn't even click the continue button after trying to hit it 50 times... Finally got past the first continue and then there was another... After getting through them all, I tried to actually select my characters... Which didn't work... The game has all broken controls and doesn't work... I don't recommend this game what so ever. Don't waste your money on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the bad graphics this old strategy game will take you away.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everything about this game is awful. It feels like a student project that somehow got onto Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, fun graphics, great controls. Unlike what people say, it's not copying warcraft, it has a lot of unique ideas, like travelling between different maps in a single level and upgrading your main hero, switching weapons and much more. The negative reviews don't seem deserved. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is one of my favorite rts type games next to starcraft and star wars galactic battlegrounds. The music is spot on, it fits the whole Bc times era gameplay! You can play the longish campaign, play against the computer, or play multiplayer which has you versing other online players or nearby friends of your's. Although multiplayer is kinda dead and you can't really play against more than one computer at a time, the game still holds up as a fun gameplay experience in my opinion. If you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and unique game for 50 cents... normal price of $5 might be a bit steep considering some of the flaws. The submap feature adds some depth (literally) to each mission, for example one mission the submap is an underground passage that brings you from outside the enemy's gates into the middle of the enemy's base. Unfortunately in some missions it feels a bit overused, sending you back and forth between maps with no apparent reason other than "it's there, so let's use it"; some of the submaps…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BC Kings is an ancient game from 2008. It's a whopping 16 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. As a matter of fact for me…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great old Warcraft 2/3 style game. I love it. and for $0.99 at the moment you really can't go wrong.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright, it's an ok game. If this game was $10, I would not recommend it, but it's good for it's quite cheap price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DONT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a Basic RTS. it looks fun, and intriguing, but its gameplay is the same as WC2. it is 15 year old tech. 1/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game seemed so attractive! Warcraft III in a prehistoric setting! What a dream! (I sincerely think all of it.) And yet, it is unplayable, ugly beyond your imagination, and intolerably buggy. I spent twenty minutes on it without being able of reaching the camp in the first tutorial mission, as nothing was working properly. A good flavor of this technical mess is that you have to choose the language game every time you start it between English or Russian... But if you inadvertently…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks like a decent game but it's just buggy as hell! 1/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a pile of trash, ''Multiplayer'' don't be fooled this is false advertisement. I bought this game on sale thinking it would be a nice fresh RTS subsitute for Age of Empires. Boy did i have a shock when the ''Multiplyer'' is actually ''LOCAL AREA CONNECTION ONLY'' good job this was on sale, not worth 4 quid... probably not even with 80p save your money and buy 4 Freddo choclate bars, you'll be garunteed more satisfaction and quality from the Freddos.. quite frankly even if they melt you've…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the RTS I have been looking for for the past few months. Been dropping money on wannabes until now. This is seriously fun. I can tell just by the tutorial. Though the difficulty on this even on easy will have you sobbing like a little girl. AI Pathing system is slightly flawed. Very intensive micro-managing combat system if you're into that. 3 min Auto save feature built right into the game. Easily 8/10 Highly reccomended (Warcraft RTS clone)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10 So many similar yet better games Don't bother.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent RTS, easily better than any of the modern garbage. A story that is genuinely interesting. I mean cave men vs aliens? who would of thought of that? Really creative. Buy this if you want a fresh RTS without any of the hipster nonsense.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very awesome game, with controls and mechanism like AoE/CnC. Although the graphic is a bit low now (since this is a very old game). The game itself although fun, doesnt feel really complete. Still, this is a recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So cheap, so fun, so traditionally RTS/Strategy. But with slight twists, like multiple maps. It's really fun game for how cheap it is, really worth the investment! You'll get a lot of fun out of it, plus a good challenge. It's extremely traditional though, which is what I liked about it. I'd whine about the dated graphics, but hell, I still love to load up Age of Empires and have a damn good thwarting, so it doesn't bother me at all! The units are what you'd expect, which is helpful.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't enjoy this game. Map is too loose with multiple paths that either loops around or lead to dead ends. The construction is very bad and there is a lack of grouping well. If you want a better game, try to find the Fate of Hellas. That was a really good game, very concise and tutorial made for dummies.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this game on sale for about 50 Cents..... Definitly worth 2 quarters, and though the grapghics arnt amazing, the game runs very smoothly and the mechanics are desgined very well..... I am enjoying this game and purchasing 2 more for my crazy friends to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awsome game cant get enough of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Graphics looks nice on screenshots - Can´t start on windows 10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OLD VIDEO GAME NICE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old school strategy/builder. Looking at game like Age of Empires but older (maybe? I didn't check). Worth it if you can pick it up mege cheap and waste a few hours with the cavemen!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game feels unfinished, as in it is not polished enough
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really wanted to like this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I personally just didnt enjoy it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best strategy games I've ever seen. Has dinos, aliens, and cavemen.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.” -Terry Pratchett, Jingo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry, no, I didn't like it. I am a big fan of building strategy games and thought, BC Kings could be an interesting alternative to what I play normally, but it didn't win my heart... There are so many alternatives that are better than this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont waste your money go buy some snacks
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Complete. ♥♥♥♥. Cant even play a 1v1 game with the computer withou tit crashing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greatest game ever, can't believe these cutting edge graphics were around in 2008!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ooga-booga. This game has good concepts, like side quest missions that take you to different zones, not to mention the war between cave men and mutants.. Hah. I really wish this game had better graphics. Rated 4/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks like WarCraft... special WarCraft for idiots!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun. I like the gameplay and story
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →first of all, graphics are very ugly but despite that , game meccanics and quest are really interresting. the str part have everything a bigger production own ( units, harversting, upgrades, etc ). there is also a rpg part by the way you can upgrade you main toon trought a shop. i stll do not have tested the multiplayer part, but i suppose , as the game is quiet old, its dead this is a game i wanted to test and for the price, you cannot go wrong with it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a little buggy. Save often when changing maps. Completed it and it is not that bad for the price. I would recommend if you enjoy war craft 3 and command and conquer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even the first map on Easy is unforgiving.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game. It looks old but quite well made. Resembles at times as Age of Mythology and Armies of Exigo. A little bug a little balancing otherwise is well done. It is a pity that there are no more such games. It's better than Warparty.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well i like this game a lot i played this game a long time ago and i starting again! :) recomended for all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strongly recommend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It really isent worth you're time at all. Its like a extreamly half assed version of warcraft 3
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Glitchy, crashes a lot, horrible UI, pretty much the norm for publisher Strategy First. I would pass on this and all of their games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Outdated, play Starcraft if you want what this game is trying to provide. Unless you're hung up on cavemen.
