    1,064 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Conqueror's Blade" is characterized by a unique blend of tactical medieval combat and real-time strategy, allowing players to command units in large-scale battles. While many players appreciate the depth and mechanics, they also highlight issues such as a steep learning curve, unbalanced matchmaking, and pay-to-win elements that can detract from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, the core gameplay loop is often described as engaging and fun, particularly in cooperative play and siege scenarios, though it can become repetitive and grind-heavy over time.

    • “If you like playing tactical medieval gameplay in the third-person perspective, commanding units and unlocking them, this could be your game.”
    • “The core gameplay of Conqueror's Blade revolves around commanding troops in large-scale battles while simultaneously managing your fiefdom and resources.”
    • “With its immersive gameplay, strategic depth, and ever-evolving world, this game has truly earned its place as a beloved staple in the gaming community.”
    • “The game is incredibly difficult for new players to get started without spending at least 200-300 to catch up, and the developers have not attempted to do anything to balance gameplay for new players.”
    • “This emphasis on grind over meaningful gameplay mechanics detracts from the game's potential depth and longevity.”
    • “Despite its potential, the game is marred by technical issues, tedious gameplay, and a lack of meaningful content.”
  • grinding
    532 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is frequently described as excessive and time-consuming, often requiring players to invest hundreds of hours to unlock competitive units and gear. Many reviews highlight a pay-to-win model, where players can bypass grinding through microtransactions, leading to frustration among free-to-play users. While some players find enjoyment in the grind, especially when playing with friends, the overall sentiment leans towards the grind being tedious and a significant barrier to new players.

    • “And the game’s not too grindy, but there's enough to do late game.”
    • “Not too grindy.”
    • “I was recommended this game by a friend. Now that I have the game, I see why they liked it, and I am really enjoying playing the game with the slow but not grindy progression.”
    • “The game is fun but it takes a lot of space (around 200 GB), a good PC (you're not running it unless you have a decent graphics card, so pick the lower graphics settings, trust me), and it's a very grindy game. If you want to get good in the game and get the seasonal units for free, prepare yourself for weeks of grind to get those units who will inevitably be nerfed the next season. Some currency can only be obtained by specific means (like silver), notably alliance wars every Tuesdays and Saturdays, which is pretty much the only way to get the resources you need to craft high-level equipment (late game) and it costs a lot of it (especially the purple weapon blueprints). Good game but way too long if you don't have enough dedication.”
    • “The game is grindy enough. You will either never stop grinding or never stop paying. It's your choice: buy or die grinding.”
    • “The game has become total trash. I've played it for years, you need so much time to max everything, then no trading available so that the farm is slower so that players can, of course, pay to boost. Every season you unlock the units or weapons that are overpowered, and next season comes with better units, and guess what? Old season units get nerfed, so you just wasted your time.”
  • graphics
    436 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the stunning visuals and immersive environments, while others criticize the performance issues and outdated graphics quality. Many users note that the game demands high system specifications, leading to lag and crashes even on lower settings, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, while the graphics can be impressive, they are often marred by optimization problems and inconsistent performance across different hardware setups.

    • “The visuals are stunning, with detailed environments that create a truly breathtaking gameplay experience.”
    • “The graphics are great, and the gameplay pretty smooth.”
    • “Way too hard to run for how mediocre the graphics are.”
    • “Game graphics took a dive since last year; everything is more pixelated than Runescape, hard to play with the graphics without getting a headache, movement isn't smooth, and frame rate is very bad.”
    • “The graphics are outdated, and the game runs poorly even on high-end machines.”
  • story
    413 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that there is little to no overarching narrative. Most quests are described as repetitive and uninspired, often serving merely as a means to grind for resources or unlock units rather than contributing to a compelling storyline. While some players appreciate the potential for lore and character development, the overall consensus is that the game feels more like a war simulator with minimal storytelling elements.

    • “The game has a rich storyline that unfolds over time, adding depth and complexity to the player's experience.”
    • “With its deep combat mechanics, engaging progression system, and rich storyline, it's no wonder that it's highly regarded by players and critics alike.”
    • “I never thought I would become so addicted to this game, it's an absolute amazing game. I would love to see more quests and quest lines with some story and depth to the game.”
    • “If there's a story, I didn't see it 4 hours in.”
    • “The main quest line drops out all lore around level 30.”

While some players have noted improvements following developer updates, the consensus remains that the game is poorly optimized, often resulting in frustrating gameplay experiences even on high-end systems. Overall, significant optimization work is still needed to enhance stability and performance.

    • “However, the developers are proactive in addressing these issues with regular updates and patches, continually improving the game’s stability and performance.”
    • “The game runs smoothly and I've never experienced problems with the game.”
    • “The optimization is much better, combat, everything is a huge improvement over the months.”

  • stability
    185 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is widely criticized, with players reporting frequent crashes, game-breaking glitches, and significant lag that severely impacts gameplay. Many users express frustration over the lack of developer support in addressing these issues, leading to an overall perception of the game as a "buggy mess." While some players find enjoyment in the mechanics, the persistent technical problems overshadow the experience, making it difficult for many to recommend the game.

    • “No lag, no glitches and it's still getting updated every month!”
    • “The new content is for the most part fun and engaging, the developers keep it up to date and quite bug free.”
    • “Even on low settings for my 10-year-old PC, the game looks and runs great.”
    • “This game could be really fun, but unfortunately the devs don't care about the NA player base. In its current state, the game is an unplayable, laggy, buggy mess with no community outreach from the dev team.”
    • “I do not recommend this game at all anymore. It was great 2 years ago, but also 2 years ago it was buggy and developers didn't care too much. Now they're slowly destroying the player base by adding more pay-to-win elements rather than fixing the game; it's just a cash grab before it dies.”
    • “The game is a buggy mess with repetitive combat. There are tons of graphical bugs, poor AI, long loading screens, and little control over your troops. You get two modes of control over them with one attack ability for them.”
  • monetization
    144 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it as a blatant cash grab characterized by aggressive microtransactions and pay-to-win elements. While some users find the core gameplay enjoyable, they express frustration over the overwhelming presence of in-game purchases, confusing currency systems, and the perception that the developers prioritize profit over player experience. Overall, the monetization model is seen as detrimental to the game's long-term appeal, leading to a divided player base and calls for a more balanced approach.

    • “The game was fun, the gameplay loop was solid, and the microtransactions and challenges were not overly intrusive or difficult.”
    • “Microtransactions are present, but it is in a pay-to-progress format rather than pay-to-win, with everything aside from cosmetics being available in-game to grind out for free.”
    • “It is free and monetization is very reasonable.”
    • “The actual core mechanics are pretty fun, but the game itself is completely ruined by layers of blatant cash grabbery.”
    • “The monetization and the pay-to-win aspect is disgusting; this is a game of skill, and you should not be able to win a fight by paying money.”
    • “Do not recommend this game at all anymore; it was great 2 years ago, but now they're slowly destroying the player base by adding more pay-to-win elements rather than fixing the game.”
  • humor
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding it amusing in various contexts, such as funny combat scenarios and community interactions. While some enjoy the comedic elements and chaotic gameplay, others note that the humor can be overshadowed by balance issues and technical problems. Overall, the game is often described as a lighthearted experience best enjoyed with friends, despite its flaws.

    • “If possible, I'd recommend getting the boys to play with you so you can do funny formations like hiding pikemen with big shield guys to make phalanxes that destroy anything that charges into them.”
    • “The funny thing about this game is that putting together an extremely competitive/top tier army is much, much easier than in any other 'grindy' game I've ever played.”
    • “Catching an enemy player out of position and watching them get murdered because they got surrounded by militia pikes is hilarious.”
    • “It's not funny.”
    • “The humor falls flat and feels forced.”
    • “I expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land.”

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Seriously, what is with the music in the beginning when you're waiting for the server to not be full? It just gets louder and louder.”
  • replayability
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This game to me is what For Honor could have been in terms of fun and replay value.”
    • “I love the open fighting and mix of a lot of genre mechanics makes this a fun, replayable game.”
    • “The complexities of both fighting while actively controlling your units as part of a larger army bring both depth and great replay value to every siege/battle.”
    • “Not much in the way of replayability; it's PvP siege or nothing.”
    • “Game is still good; it's free and I would still recommend trying it. However, after a while, the game really lacks content and replayability, which makes it a bit boring.”
    • “Only certain classes are playable despite having this 'variety' of options.”

    • “The combination of hero abilities, fast-but-tactical combat, and the epic battle atmosphere with hundreds of units fighting each other is a great combination.”
    • “Siege weaponry is fun to use when attacking a castle, and on defense, the crushing calm before the storm as you set everything up and wait creates an atmosphere no other MMO game has yet to recreate.”
    • “Graphics and the medieval atmosphere are decent, even though there are signatures and tastes of traditional Asian free-to-play game style.”
    • “The atmosphere of war is very well done.”
