Joystiq has taken a look at a preview of Elemental: War of Magic, and has published their preview of the game.
“There's a lot to deal with in Elemental -- it's the product of a man and a company that knows how to make solid and satisfying strategy games, and even on top of that, it's a wild mix of genres and gameplay conventions and customization options. Even if you're a die-hard Civ player, it will probably be easy to be overwhelmed by everything happening in this title.
But that's exactly what some players want. For those looking to dive in and get lost in a sea of fantasy-based strategy, Elemental will gladly provide the plank when it's released tomorrow. “
