This game is really fun it has a simple concept but the way the game can be played is great, you grind/kill for money capture flags/bases for benefits, and spawn troops and upgrade the fort with the money you are earning. First to capture every base wins the game which can make games really long or you get captured and lose after an hour of work.

There's no point to buying this game. You'll have fun for a little bit but then you'll realise there's nothing more and there will be nothing new. This game is unfinished and abandoned, do not trust this dev for any of their games.

It had potential, but the developers abandoned it, the game had good design,combat and it was really fun. Sad its potential ended.

This Game is good if you like 3rd person combat and there is multiplayer so you can play with your friends but this game is dead.

Formata offers a challenging yet beatable battle simualater game that I would suggest to anyone who enjoys battle strategy games.

ok its a good game but when i try to play it if i try to tell a unit where to go it would freeze and close same thing would happen if i would try to control a unit.

I like this games graphics but I think the campaign could be a little more than just playing a normal match. Possibly if it had a story it could be better and there are a lot of controls but its still a great game.

The game has basically been abandoned ,and there is no bug fix's. just bought the game and cant even play it. I am so upset because this was one of my favorite game. the reason you cant play it is simply because it wont stay open and keeps closing

this game is pog. and this is why:
the archer's can be manoeuvred and shot by you the player increasing their efficiency from dodo stinky to mlg god,
and the mechanic's can fix building's, reinforce the gate and, most importantly, they can throw rocks over the wall to kill seiging opponents

TLDR: become archer and noscope bots

I wanted to like Formata; I first bought it years ago in early release. It was pretty janky then, so I figured I'd revisit it later in the hope it would have improved.

I just revisited it. It is still just as janky as ever and doesn't feel at all like a finished game. The units also sometimes just flat out ignore your commands and while there may be a reason for this, it's never explained as there's no tutorial.

Really can't recommend anyone spend money on this.

Not worth the purchase, developer is working on essentially the same concept and abandoned this in favor of their new product.

Its hard to manage AI and its very boring. I play age of empires 4 and shield wall and their better than this.

when ever you first start a match thing the enemies or enemy has a full army while you start with nothing besides a base and some cash and its a dead game don't buy if you did get a refund NOW!

DO NOT BUY IT. It would have been a great sandbox style RTS with first person gameplay (which is why I bought it) but the AI and pathfinding are so atrocious that you seriously cannot enjoy the game no matter how hard you try. Not only is your own troops' AI and pathfinding messed up, but so is the enemy's, they will stand outside a gate and do nothing. This is not a game, this is an outright failed college side project being sold for money pump and dump style. Fix it before you make any other game.

Oh and the best part? You can't drag-select your units, a basic and core feature of any RTS game with more than 1 unit to control.

Must add before it's playable:
- Retreat button
- Drag-selection
- Fix the pathfinding
- Fix the AI logic

Pros as it stands:
- Being able to just be a random individual in a Roman melee formation is something I've been dreaming about as a kid for way too long, you can do it here
- Unique sandbox gameplay with both top-down strategy and first-person/third-person action
- Beautiful graphics
- Archery's good, if only a bit chunky
- The level design and layout are VERY good

Really engaging and challenging. So much potential. Come back Nezon and develop the game more. Definitely recommended

Fun for a few hours but then you realise that this game has been abandoned and is clearly unfinished,
multiplayer is wonky and lags when playing with others,
AI is usually dumb and gets stuck on objects (especially maps with ship combat),
the Factions lack any variety between each other and seem to just have different looks and colours
the game had a lot of potential but unfortunately the Dev's have abandoned the game to focus on a new one

I would not recommend this game, the reason being is that when playing the game, when you click and use your keys it also appears behind the window so when you right click then it right clicks on the tab behind as well. If you moved your mouse to the bottom right and left click to hit, you could be shown to your desktop. Due to this major bug, I would not recommend this game.

This game isn't very good in its current state. but if they didn't abandon it It could have been really cool. The devs new
similar game Shieldwall is decent, but this had much higher potential in my opinion
