A deep, ambitious strategy game with some big problems - TFM: The First Men Quick First Impressions
TFM: The First Men is a strategy simulator enriched with character-driven base building, party exploration, and tactical real-time combat. It offers strategy gameplay and immersive civilization-building mechanics that are equally complex and entertaining. However, these elements alone are not enough to outshine some brutal flaws.
THE STORY
The First Men is inspired by the story of Adam and Eve. However, instead of the biblical narrative of two humans created and dropped into an idyllic garden, I had to choose one of three campaigns that explore alternate storylines across different worlds. Whichever campaign I chose, I needed to achieve either one of two objectives: escaping that world through a waygate or boat, or settling down, populating the place, and slowly establishing an empire.
