The historical strategy game's enjoyable combat is let down by some frustrating bugs, and a tutorial that rushes through itself. In the end, Numantia really does feel like it needs one or two more rounds of good polish. Still, if you're a fan of hex-based combat and you're willing to push through all those issues, there's a good game lying beneath.

Numantia's setting is unique, the story is interesting and allows you to make important choices, and the gameplay is challenging and strategic.
If you can look past the steep difficulty curves, unimpressive visuals and unwieldy controls, then you will find a deep and compelling historical strategy experience that will keep you engaged for many weeks.
A historically accurate setting for a great player-driven story from two sides, Numantia has a great narrative backed by an enjoyable and tactical combat system. Unfortunately, flaws appear almost everywhere in this game, bogging down some of the better ideas and making combat and the campaign unintuitive and frustrating.
Despite having a not-so-well-explored story and small problems that can interfere with the pace at which it is played, Numantia is undoubtedly a great and addictive strategy game. Many players will spend hours and hours, while the more curious ones will discover great stories that have not been properly presented to the world.
