The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players noting that it feels bare-bones and generic, offering little narrative engagement. While some appreciate the branching missions and the potential for a more compelling storyline, the overall execution leaves much to be desired, as players find the campaign modes lacking in meaningful context and character development. The absence of a well-told story detracts from the gameplay experience, making it feel disjointed and unfulfilling.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Regarding campaign mode... I like the branching of the missions when you win a battle.”
“Multiple campaigns with branching storylines or missions.”
“Sadly this game is trash and broken because in dungeons campaign, after you beat the first mission and also beat the second, it doesn't proceed to the next level.”
“There is no story, and I didn't really get how to expand its army through the different missions.”
“But the only choice I have is to choose one of the four campaigns with absolute generic names like 'dungeon campaign' without any description or story.”

The music in the game is generally described as relaxing and atmospheric, but it suffers from issues such as background static and occasional interruptions during gameplay. Reviewers express frustration over the lack of volume adjustment options, making it difficult to balance the music with loud sound effects. Overall, while the music has potential, its execution and technical problems detract from the experience.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The music and sound effects are very atmospheric, and while some sort of volume adjustment would be a plus, it doesn't kill the game.”
“The music is nice and relaxing and would be great if it had an adjustable sound bar.”
“There is no way to turn down the sound/music without doing so on your system mixer and you're unable to change the resolution for the game... there is only one, which is 640x480.”
“Unfortunately there is no options button and the only way is to press escape, disabling all sound and music in the game.”
“The looping music tune sounded like it was recorded with an old cassette player with some stormy weather in the background.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some players expressing disappointment due to pixelation and a lack of modern standards, despite appreciating the nostalgic miniature aesthetic and detailed artwork. While the art style is generally considered nice for a PC tabletop game, the absence of resolution options and fullscreen issues further detract from the overall visual experience.
“I like the detail of the artwork, and the fact that the units look like miniatures is nostalgic.”
“The art style is nice, and graphically for a PC tabletop game, it doesn't look bad or seem lacking in the art department.”
“I honestly think the graphics were my biggest disappointment.”
“Don't get drawn in by the citadel miniatures look of the pieces - the graphics are pixelated and generally poor.”
“My second try was to play the game full screen instead of the tiny window, but besides the little window button to enlarge the screen, which makes the graphics absolutely disgusting; there is no options button for resolution or screen size either.”
