GameSpot has an Early Access review of Sorcerer King.
"More so than most strategy games, Sorcerer King is about asymmetry and how you choose to cope with it. You'll never be overwhelmingly more powerful than your foe because you simply don't have enough time to build up the resources and the forces to be. Instead, you'll be forced to manage your risk, seeking not supremacy but mere survival. For that reason, the game comes off as delightfully fresh."
