    Review Bos Wars

    Are you a fan of games like Warcraft, Age of Empires, and Command or Conquer? Well, we know that this type of real-time strategy title has a lot of followers among our readers, so today, we wanted to propose another entertainment offer. Specifically, Bos Wars is one of the best alternative options within the genre, and today we will tell you some reasons to give it a chance after our own experience.

    The first thing we have to point out about Bos Wars, to avoid false illusions in those who want to try another game in this segment, is that if you are a fan of well-designed graphics or advanced development, you'd better try your luck with another one. Its aesthetics are undoubtedly not the best among the titles in this category, and although we will analyze them in detail later on, it is a good starting point for this game.

    The truth is that Bos Wars will undoubtedly get a pass in aspects such as gameplay, which is entertaining in practically all cases, and even in the accompaniment that the sounds offer as we advance. Another positive aspect is that it includes a series of tutorials that allow us to review, before starting the game, if we know the moves to perform in each situation.

    We have found in this game many of the features that we somehow consider indispensable in titles of this type, such as the fact that it has a map editor that allows us to create our scenarios. Every time we review a real-time strategy title, we pay special attention to this feature, and we must congratulate the creators for including it in Bos Wars.

    Bos Wars has more than 20 missions in total that we will have to develop if we want to reach the final objectives of the title without losing sight of the fact that we can select if we're going to access the Multiplayer Mode or if we want to confront the artificial intelligence of the game. As always, we recommend that you take on other people online, although in that case, you'll have to have a reliable Internet connection at hand.

    We liked the fact that we could modify many of the aspects of each of the battles that we carry out simply by choosing both the warriors and vehicles that we prefer to use in each confrontation. Thus, considering there are different civilizations available, you will have to learn to know each of their advantages and disadvantages to decide for one or another in each case.

    Bos Wars invites us to become good managers of all the resources, both human and mineral, that we have at our disposal since if we don't do this, we will be putting our chances of achieving victory at risk. That is to say, you will have to consider constructing different buildings and purchasing attack vehicles without putting your resources at risk because then you could lose all the advances.

    And speaking of being careful, in the same way, we recommend that you never lose sight of the Bos Wars maps, taking into account that they contain all the information about the location of the rivals. The truth is that it will always be advisable to keep your platoon as united as possible to avoid a surprise attack and thus be able to take over the enemy installations as soon as they are distracted.

    This title is set in a somewhat distant future, so while we are not wrong when we point out that the game modes have elements in common with, for example, Ages of Empires, this cannot be said of its graphics. In this sense, we find ourselves with a much more retro proposal, which does not let us glimpse the advances that we know have been appearing in this field over time.

    What is our conclusion about the graphics, then? Simply put, they are below the games we discussed at the beginning of the review and below what we could demand from Bos Wars. We also consider that some users prefer above-average gameplay to well-done graphics, so if you are part of them, you won't mind this issue.

    In summary, then we can say that Bos Wars is a good game, one mainly oriented to offer a somewhat futuristic variant of other real-time strategy titles, which doesn't add much more to them. Still, outside of the graphics issue, it doesn't take away either. If this title might be a good choice for you whenever you've played Age of Empires, you've always wondered if there is a somewhat futuristic alternative.
