It’s right there in the title, this is an extremely accurate simulator of historical battles, if you assume the wars of antiquity were fought with googly-eyed mammoths and drunken wheelbarrow racers. Now that I have it, and have fumbled around with its floppy Early Access armies, I find myself surprised yet again at how much fun this thing is, even beyond what I was expecting. That surprised the hell out of me, and left me eager to see how the folks who made it would fare with their main game, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. What do you call those games where you fight loose, noodley controls to perform the simplest tasks? Fumblecore? QWOP-likes? Infuriating? I played a riff on battle royale games that controlled like that called Totally Accurate Battlegrounds and it ended up being a great mix of hilarity and actual content.
