CAMPFIRE TOOTH AND TAIL PS4

Where things come a little unstuck, is that it can become a little frustrating to manage your forces on a per-unit basis when your forces grow to any sort of considerable size. Unit types, for example, fare different when pitted against one another, so artillery focussed units will do well against structures, anti-infantry flamethrower units will do best against other troops and so on, and so forth. Make no mistake however, in spite of its brief skirmish times and lean tactical model, Tooth and Tail brings the fury and the thunder in equal measure as each and every battle, especially on regular difficulty, ensures every tussle feels like a hard won conflict and one that elicits an equal level of satisfaction when victory is achieved.ĭespite how deeply Tooth and Tail would seem to eschew the typically overwrought RTS template, it still adheres to it in the areas that make sense in real terms. Since most of Tooth and Tail’s battles can be resolved from just five to fifteen minutes of play, it means that those who don’t relish the idea of sitting in front of a screen for hours on end to get their RTS fix, are able to do that now with just a fraction of the time needed.Įlsewhere, bereft of superfluous clutter and only displaying the most pertinent information, it’s fair to say that Tooth and Tail’s appeal to console folk is further enhanced by the virtue of its lightweight UI, too.

Such a reductionist approach to what can so often seem to be an overwhelming genre helps Tooth and Tail fare well and stand out on PS4 too. Once you’ve assigned the workers to till the land (again this also costs food but you usually start with enough of it to get you going), the edibles start rolling in and before long you can start buying units, building structures and generally begin fuelling your ambitions to conquer your neighbours. The kicker to all of this however, is that do any of this neat stuff, you need to have the requisite amount of resource (in this case, food), to get it done and food can only come from the farmland that surrounds the gristmills which are friendly to your cause. Viewed from an isometric perspective, you can also build new structures which in turn spawn new units, hire mercenaries and construct turrets and other defences to guard your territory.

As a furry, flag waving battle commander, each skirmish in Tooth and Tail has you rushing about the map using your standard to rally units to your side and direct them into combat against specific foes, or, order them to guard a particular area on the map.
