Gaming Nexus hands out a "C-":
There are more issues, both good and bad, but at its heart Elemental: War of Magic is a game that will require patience and a bit of forgiveness before players will truly enjoy it. Stardock has a stellar track record of supporting their titles, and listening to player concerns when making their often-extensive content updates. Also promised is a multi-player option, presumably once the kinks are worked out of the single-player game. Because of this, I have hopes that Elemental will someday become an engrossing 4X fantasy title. As of right now, however, I will withhold recommendation of this title, and advise a wait-and-see approach.
While Diehard GameFAN gives it a verdict of "Decent Game":
Elemental is a game that was released with fundamental flaws making it unplayable. Elemental is also a game that has had someone's love poured into it, perhaps blinding them to the faults and errors that plagued its release. I would recommend buying the game much later, after more things are patched and fixed. One thing is certain: Elemental has left an impression, for better or worse.
