Shells of Fury review by Horsa

Horsa: Shells of Fury (SOF) has to be one of the strangest subsims released in quite a while. It takes on a neglected era (WWI), looks very retro, and appears to have been almost dumped on the market with no real ambition or pretensions. Having said all of that I believe it’s a little gem that’ll pay back its rather modest price with a lot of replay value and in a very fresh setting. I actually find it quite easy to love this little title.

Horsa's assessment really seems to be in line with my idea of value in games.

I've been shy on getting it for a while, but between this review and CB's obvious efforts at tweaking this little gamelet... I think I'll part with my 20 ducks in a short bit :p

Well written there

I bought the game tonight ($20.00 online). Looks cool. Can't figure out the interface without diving into the readme file. Nice diversion until the patch for SH IV.

Nice review Horsa, and I think very fair too.

I thought about picking this up when it was first announced, then balked after some early reviews. But it sounds like with a little patience and perspective it can be an enjoyable sim in its own right

Nice review.

I bought it due to all the work CB has done to enhance the game! I want to play around with the sound files...

. It's different...from SH3 but it does remind me of SH2....
