Gameplay reviews highlight several areas needing improvement, including unclear mechanics related to army building and advisor segments, as well as a lack of explanations for key features. While some players find the pacing slow and certain gameplay elements shallow, many express satisfaction with the overall content and anticipate upcoming patches to enhance the experience.
“Its early access, so there are a few quirks and areas that are a bit shallow in gameplay, but overall, for the price and content, I'm happy.”
“Some mechanics need a little retooling, like the advisors segment, but I know that there are patches coming up to address this.”
“There is little to no explanation of key mechanics of the game.”
“The army building mechanics were a bit murky as well; apparently, it isn't enough to research and then buy/build bows and crossbows to equip your people. You have to research the various job positions as well.”

The game's stability is characterized by numerous bugs and glitches, particularly related to market pricing mechanics, which can lead to unintended outcomes. While some issues have been addressed through patches, players note that the game remains somewhat unstable but appreciate the developers' commitment to ongoing improvements and responsiveness to community feedback.
“Quite buggy, but playable with some fixes.”
“Buggy as heck; they didn't do any logic tests on the market prices, meaning if you can get the price of an item to 0 (with various discounts), then the system won't let you buy it at all. If you can get the price to go negative, then the system will pay you for buying it.”
“While they did fix some of the bugs, it still has glitches.”

The story is generally well-received, particularly for its integration of RPG elements and impactful choices. However, players have noted inconsistencies in how certain story events are triggered based on trait values, leading to confusion when options are available or unavailable without clear explanations.
“I like the story and the RPG elements.”
“There were several story events and choices that required a certain trait value. Sometimes it wouldn't let me click these options, and other times it would, without any explanation as to why my trait value wasn't high enough either way.”
“The story felt disjointed and lacked coherence, making it difficult to stay engaged with the plot.”
“Character motivations were poorly developed, leaving me confused about their actions and decisions throughout the game.”
