An early fantasy strategy game, the goal in Realms is by now a familiar fare: recruit armies of humans, orcs, and other creatures to conquer the known world. For its time however, the game features an innovative isometric view and rare real-time gameplay. The focus is on tactical combat, as you can choose different attack and formation orders, than on empire-building, so it'll appeal to warmongers than empire architects.
In short, it's solid pioneer of real-time strategy genre that is at best an above-average game.

Before Warcraft, Dune 2 and Command and Conquer there was Realms. The intro was sweet, the music was sweet, and pimping your Orcs out with heavy armour was sweet

That was one of my best strategies in 1992-1995 on PC. Great old game!
I downloaded the DOS version running it in Boxer. I can not get the game to work with a mouse. The game is very hard to play without a mouse. I remember playing this game on the Amiga, but can't remember if I liked it or not.
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
