The gameplay is described as basic and lacking depth, with users expressing a desire for additional features such as a campaign mode, troop leveling, and more diverse AI opponents to enhance the experience and create a sense of progression. Overall, the core mechanics are present, but the gameplay feels underdeveloped and could benefit from more engaging elements.
“- The core and basic gameplay are here (except infantry), but I would have liked some more bells and whistles to change things up a bit, or perhaps a campaign mode, troop leveling, more AI opponents, special pieces, or a story to make me feel like my army is evolving.”

Players note that the initial grinding required to unlock content can hinder their ability to fully appreciate the game's potential, as they may quickly grasp the AI's mechanics before reaching the necessary unlocks. This grindy aspect is seen as a barrier to enjoying the game more fully.
“Some early grinding to unlock stuff prevents users from seeing the game's actual potential.”
“Chances are you will figure out the AI's nuances sooner rather than later, and the unlocks probably are a little grindy to get to.”
