- It effectively captures the essence of historical wargaming with its operational-level simulation of Operation Market-Garden, featuring clear mechanics and strategic depth.
- Affordable and accessible, the game is praised for its playability and potential to introduce players to more complex wargames in the future.
- The movement rules are overly complicated and inconsistent, leading to frustration and confusion during gameplay.
- The game lacks content, with only a few scenarios that reuse the same map, resulting in a repetitive experience.
- Graphics and overall presentation are subpar, making it less enjoyable on larger screens compared to smaller devices.

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users finding them subpar, especially on larger screens. However, others appreciate the overall presentation as fitting for the genre, suggesting that while the visuals may not be impressive, the strategic mechanics and gameplay compensate for it, making it a worthwhile experience for newcomers to turn-based strategy games.
“The strategic mechanics, graphics, and gameplay are well done for this kind of game.”
“On a big screen, it sucks immediately, big time, mostly because of the graphics.”
“If you actually give it a chance (to those with the negative reviews), and can get past the average or non-existent graphics, but these TBS games are like this. This isn't Gary Grigsby's or Decisive Campaigns for that matter, but it's definitely worth the price it's up for, and a great addition even for those just starting out in TBS.”
