Deaf Gamers Gives Caesar an 89%

Post by JosephL »

Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar manages to improve upon Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great in almost every area... Once again the AI provides a great challenge and strategy fans will love spending night after night trying to outwit such an impressive opponent.

A 10% improvement since their review of Alexander!

Deaf Gamers is the only site dedicated to reviewing games from a deaf person's perspective. They also score games based on how well a deaf player will be able ot understand the game. Both Tin Soldiers games have deaf scores of "B." This is about as high as anyone gets, here is their description of a "B" Rating.

"Earning a B grade is going to be difficult. We expect the game to have subtitles for all the important dialogue and leave deaf gamers without any doubts about what needs to be done. Deaf gamers should be able to follow the games story too. Think of a B grade classification as having everything that an A grade rating would have apart from captions."

Kudos to Koios for a deaf-friendly game (and a good one too!)

Both of my in-laws are hard of hearing (95% deaf), so I am especially sensitive to this issue. Both of them had a chance to look over the game and provide some feedback about how understandable the game was.

Glad to get a nice review from them...

Always glad to see favourable reviews of this series, but I'm trying very hard to think of any wargames that AREN'T "deaf friendly"! Its a good genre for deaf people as the whole dialogue and story thing really doesn't apply at all. Kudos to Koios, but also to Panther, SSG and others, I think.
