The gameplay is generally described as simple and enjoyable, but lacking in complexity and challenge, making it feel repetitive over time. While some players appreciate the nostalgic mechanics and the integration of story elements, many feel that the gameplay could benefit from more depth and variety, as it often leads to frustration due to its straightforward nature. Overall, it may appeal to those who prioritize narrative over gameplay intricacies, but others might find it less engaging.
- “The gameplay for this is simple and fairly enjoyable.”
- “That said, the gameplay overall is enjoyable, but lacks enough complexity.”
- “Next up the gameplay... the gameplay is also perfect. I like missions and all of the choices you can do like researching new troops, going to the garden, reading the lore, etc. I love that there are dialogues between the characters!”
- “If this type of game is something you're interested in, it is absolutely worth your time, but if you just care about gameplay, this one is probably better to skip.”
- “But, as a whole, it’s a relatively simple gameplay mechanic, with very few bells and whistles, stretched incredibly thin.”
- “There’s simply no need to make the game this long and repetitive - you could have easily halved or even taken 75% of the level count away, heavily increased the rate of troop upgrades, and I would look a lot more fondly back on the gameplay.”
