Evaluation
Tzar: The Burden of the Crown is a re-release of a classic RTS game originally developed by Haemimont Games in 2000. The Steam version launched on June 6, 2019 as a straightforward port of the original game. The store description presents this as a complete, finished product with a fixed set of content: a 20-mission campaign and random map support. There is no mention of planned updates, expansions, DLC, or post-launch content of any kind. No DLC has been listed, no developer roadmap exists, and no news posts indicate ongoing development activity. This game was published as a complete, standalone classic — it shipped as a finished product and that content remains unchanged.

About this game
Tzar: The Burden of the Crown is an RTS classic by Haemimont Games, originally released in 2000
A sinister evil has come to the peaceful kingdom of Keanor, a land of beauty, mystery and magic. The Palace lies in ruins as armies of malevolent warriors sweep through the countryside while the once-proud Imperial Guard cowers in fear. The citizens of Keanor flee their homes in terror, praying for the rise of the one true leader who, it was foretold, would lead them against the armies of darkness. Are you the hero they seek?
Tzar puts you at the heart of the battle of good versus evil. Set in the real-time fantasy world of Keanor, where the sword is the law of the land, it is up to you to stop the armies of evil. Recruit, train and command vast armies of Knights and Archers, and build fantastic weapons to smash enemy defenses. Train your Wizards to unleash their arcane powers against your foes, or conjure mighty Dragons, Jinni, and Undead to do your bidding. Can you carry the burden of the crown?
