92% (GOLD AWARD) - [Translated from German] Battlefield Academy offers entertaining and exciting game play ... Slitherine managed to put out a game that understands how to drop players into an atmospheric and tenderly designed world in which you can plunge right into the game through easy and intuitive controls ... the love for detail and the richness of units in the game provides an exclamation mark.
