Our take on Formata
Players seeking a clear narrative may bounce when play centers on troop placement and battlefield decisions. Those expecting archers to carry every engagement may also hit a wall when infantry must hold a narrow passage against an onslaught.
What is Formata?
Formata is a strategy game about gathering resources, building an army, and leading it into battle.
Players choose tactics and troop positions to gain an advantage during the wider war. They can attack before enemies form a shield wall, disrupt their ranks, surround them, or pursue fleeing troops so they cannot return. One approach uses infantry to hold a narrow passage while archers attack enemy groups. Battles involve breaking through enemy formations and destroying castles while competing for sole leadership on the map.
