Warparty Reviews
Warparty offers the right compromise between the immediacy of the first RTS games and the depth of the last representatives of the genre, putting every element in the right place and carrying out its task in an excellent way.

Despite not feeling very unique, mechanically, Warparty nevertheless delivers a great experience with a large amount of content, awesome visual style, and a setting unlike any other RTS.
War Party might be the best designed and most polished indie RTS to come out in a long time. Its design is clean and overall it works well.
Warparty is quite a good strategy game for console, a mix between Starcraft and Jurassic World. Nice looks, good controls configuraion and distinguishable factions are what makes me recommend this game. It may be not as robust as Halo Wars or Sudden Strike 4, but it's as enjoyable!

Overall, this is a pretty good step into the RTS realm.
With plenty of modes, options, and three mildly customizable factions, Warparty offers RTS fans a lot of content to chew on. Much effort was obviously spent building this unique world and its intricate mechanics. While the lack of multiplayer is disappointing, Warparty will keep fans busy with its blistering difficulty and fast-paced strategy action.
Decent Age of Empire clone offers nothing new in RTS genre, but gameplay is good and dinosaurs are welcomed addition.

WarParty is a solid real-time strategy game in a market that’s dearly lacking them. Yet at the same time, I feel like I’ve played it before in years gone by, several times in fact. It does have a few things that make it stand out, the Dinosaur theme for one. It also has a lot of content between survival, the campaign, skirmish and multiplayer.
Crazy Monkey Studio and Warcave bring a worthy RTS that does not come to revolutionize the genre but if willing to give many hours of fun and provide variety in a genre in which console users are somewhat orphans. It brings with it some virtues such as its simplicity of use, a great replay and that being able to handle a T-Rex always cool a lot, unfortunately also brings some problems among which we must highlight a rather poor control. Even with everything if you are a lover of the RTS and you give him an opportunity, be sure that you will not leave disappointed.

A simple and accesible RTS that tries to copy some classics but doesn't achieves greatness.

Warparty provides just enough fun for me to overlook some of its flaws to stay and play.
Warparty reminds us right at the beginning of Warcraft 3 in the Stone Age look. It is a classic real-time strategy game, which is therefore more home on the PC. I looked at the port on the switch and whether the control was well adapted. Warparty has three factions with their own units and their own campaign. The story is completely unimportant and you notice that the focus is more on the multiplayer, which is also on the PC, but the blast is that was completely waived in the switch version. In addition, the controller was not really optimally adapted for the console, which other genre representatives have done better. In handheld mode, it is very tiring to play because the lyrics are tiny. But back to the game itself. I like the setting of the Fantasy Stone Age very well and is very innovative and nicely designed, there are also dinosaurs and dinosaurs are great. The three factions play a little differently. There are Undead, Wise and Wild, all leaders have their own abilities and spells, but the units are quite similar. In addition to the campaign, there is also the Horde mode, in which you have to defeat waves of enemies and the Skirmish mode as a free game against the AI. In the long run, but the multi-player mode is missing, because such games are simply made for this and always against the AI to play boring. In itself, Warparty is a good RTS game, which one should not play on the switch though.

Warparty offers a likable and quirky setting for an RTS featuring dinosaurs and zombies but ends up being formulaic and repetitive, with broken AI.
Warparty is a fine game, but fails to differentiate itself in gameplay
That’s not to say Warparty isn’t a competent, even downright blast to play more often than not, but it won’t soon be overtaking the leaders of the genre.
I felt like I’d played this game before with a different skin on it, and its yet another case of a RTS game trying to jump from PC to console and being sold short by the inability to replicate the fluidity of mouse and keyboard in to play with a controller.
After a tutorial running you through the conceptual basics with the base Wildlander faction, sometimes not always making itself very clear as it is, you’re roughly left to figure much of the rest of the game’s nuances out through brute force trial and error in the single-player campaigns...
Just like its dinosaurs have a hard time setting themselves apart from other units, Warparty also fails to stand out among its peers.
Splicing dino DNA with a very old school style of RTS, Warparty has plenty going for it conceptually, but it comes up short. Even if the gamepad controls weren't an obstacle to your success, the three races aren't balanced and it's all too easy to fall back on massed army tactics. A refreshing setting is not enough to drag this tired old school RTS out of the past.
Warparty attempts to honor the glory days of the classic RTS, but various technical and design issues make it a lackluster game.
