As part of the Warlords series, Warlords Battlecry retains the fantasy setting and tactical focus of its predecessors. However, if shifts from the wargame genre that the series is known for to a mix of real-time strategy and roleplaying. The players commands one of nine races – Human, Dwarf, Undead, Barbarians, Orcs, Minotaurs, High Elves, Wood Elves and Dark Elves. True to real-time strategy genre, buildings must be created, units trained, upgrades researched and resources gathered. Unique to this game is the addition of hero units, which can complete quests and gain experience, strength and skills, unlike the other units in their army.
