On this page you will find several comments taken from magazines, blogs and comments done by users from all over the world.

What this page is about

It looks like Wesnoth is a major reason that several Linux projects are improving only slowly. We sincerely apologize to all the developers on Debian and elsewhere out there who have ceased being productive because our game has eaten their brains. Here is the dreadful proof...

Wesnoth appears in several blogs

  • If you want to stay productive don't ever run the following command:
sudo apt-get install wesnoth

Is "Kills all my time" a good reason for a RC-Bug? I mean, if you install it, you can hardly stop playing, therefore it renders all other installed software useless. I think wesnoth should be removed ASAP from the archive...

  • Wow, this game is amazing! I wish I'd gotten it earlier !! It has a really professional look and feel.

A comment at The Linux Game Tome submitted by bigfatdude

  • found the game in the net: played it for hours (and still playing it). showed it to my kids: they still play and always want the newest version (they know most units stats... like they knew all the pokemons). showed it to my friends: lots of ’em like and play it (the ’over 30’ fraction). kids showed it to their friends: guess what happend... (the ’under 15’ fraction).
