7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeGameplay in this strategy game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the army mechanics confusing, particularly the restriction on moving units from garrisons only when in town. While the game offers a simplified version of traditional strategy mechanics, it lacks depth and complexity, leading to a desire for improved AI and more advanced gameplay features. Overall, the potential for a rich experience centered on ancient Chinese systems is noted, but current execution falls short.
