The gameplay features an interesting combat mechanic that can become frustrating, particularly when enemies evade attacks for extended periods. While the token system for unit upgrades and customization is a promising concept, its limitations on the number of upgrades per ability and unit restrict player freedom. Overall, the game diverges significantly from previous titles, which may disappoint fans, leading some players to lose interest quickly.
“I do really enjoy what they are trying to do, but it feels like some of the core mechanics are really limiting. I love the idea of having tokens to upgrade your units and customize them; however, only 2 per ability and 3 per unit feels a bit frustrating and clamps down a little too much on the player's freedom.”
“Some of the enemies are familiar, but the mechanics are completely different, although this is to be expected.”
“If you're thinking of buying the game because you like Circle Empires, I would seriously look up some proper gameplay first though; it is very different from their previous titles.”
“Interesting combat mechanic but annoying in some cases, like monsters flying around and not being able to attack for like 5 turns in a row.”
