Our take on Blocks!: Hammer of the Scots
Its defining structure is the combined campaign, which places William Wallace’s rebellion and Robert the Bruce’s uprising in sequence rather than presenting them as unrelated scenarios.
What is Blocks!: Hammer of the Scots?
This strategy game presents two Scottish independence struggles.
Playing as England means seeking control over Scotland’s important noble lords to suppress the rebellion. Playing as Scotland means winning those nobles’ allegiance for the fight for freedom. One scenario focuses on William Wallace, while another follows Robert the Bruce’s attempt to restore his kingdom’s independence. A combined campaign links both uprisings in sequence. The estimated playtime is 2 hours, with no favored side or designated hardest side.
