    • “But the gameplay is one of the most addictive one-more-turn-ers I know.”
    • “I felt wanting more from it, because even judging by board game standards, gameplay has its issues.”

    • “There is no depth to the gameplay, neither from an economic nor military perspective.”
  • story6 mentions

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lacking depth and originality, describing it as an "excuse plot."

    • “The sound effects and music are both excellent.”
    • “The dialogues are complemented beautifully by the nice music.”

    • “The character models are beautifully designed, showcasing impressive animations and lifelike expressions.”

    • “The variety of choices and outcomes keeps me coming back for more.”
    • “Each playthrough feels fresh due to the dynamic events and character interactions.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is primarily derived from its absurd story and intentionally poor voice acting, which many players find amusing despite the plot being secondary to the overall experience.

    • “The story is just another excuse plot, but at least it's not the main focus, and the voice acting... oh, it's hilariously bad!”
