A phenomenal preview of Battlefield Academy has been published by The Wargamer. 
Here are a few quotes:

Traditionally game reviewers are supposed to treat previews somewhat gingerly. After all, they aren’t finished works. However, there are times when the picture is clear. In this case, my build of Battlefield Academy is a very late one, and though I haven’t been told as such, if it’s not gold code, it’s gotta be very, very close.
So I’m tossing convention to the wind. Slitherine has a winner.

I’ve probably invested about ten hours so far in playing Battlefield Academy and can honestly say that I am wholly addicted.

Check out the full preview or the product page. The game is available for pre-order and will release VERY soon !

We are proud to announce the release of Field of Glory Immortal Fire.
