The gameplay of the game has received positive feedback for its refined mechanics, versatility in unit customization, and engaging combat, making it a significant improvement over previous titles in the series. Players appreciate the smooth turn-based strategy, ease of learning, and the incorporation of historical elements, although some express frustration over certain game modes being locked behind campaign progression and the presence of pay-to-win mechanics. Overall, the game offers a fun and addictive experience, with room for further enhancements and additional mechanics.
“The gameplay is great, I love the idea but has so many bugs. For example, when I'm playing Conquer mode, if I click by mistake on the skill page before the action turn ends, the game crashes and I lose everything. This happens all the time and is really annoying.”
“The mechanics are refined, plus introducing a new mechanic.”
“This game is really wonderful, more forgiving than the other Easytech games, and more rewarding, which just makes it easier to get into. The art style is beautiful, and the mechanics are as solid as a mobile turn-based strategy game can get.”
“But I think that core mechanics of the game shouldn't be paid locked.”
“A good idea, but the implementation of the idea was almost bad, and the new gameplay is difficult, deep, and slow.”
“By far their slowest game; everything moves slow, it looks like a fan-made game, and it's boring with very uninspired gameplay.”

The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising the detailed artwork, improved unit designs, and overall visual quality as a significant upgrade from previous titles in the series. While some players noted minor issues with historical accuracy and a desire for more variety in unit graphics, the consensus is that the game's visuals set a new standard for mobile gaming, enhancing both the gameplay experience and aesthetic appeal. Overall, the graphics are described as beautiful, immersive, and a key factor in the game's enjoyment.
“This is the new standard for mobile gaming: graphics, replayability, design, no pay-to-win!”
“The graphics are awesome.”
“Fantastic artwork and an awesome range of units.”
“Unit graphics also need a lot of work; this doesn't seem historical at all, more like a fantasy game.”
“Absolutely subpar compared to European Conqueror Rome; you also have a custom commander in Rome, just better graphics—that's all it has against European Conqueror Rome.”
“Very poor gameplay, total lack of graphics, and no music.”

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the engaging narrative and variety of missions, while others criticize the difficulty spikes and paywall restrictions that hinder progress. Some missions are seen as frustratingly unbalanced, often requiring specific generals to complete, which can lead to a pay-to-win perception. Overall, while the storyline and campaign elements are generally well-received, the execution and difficulty levels have left some players feeling disappointed.
“I love this game very much, good storyline and very attractive campaign. I have a suggestion: add a check option when you want to upload or download your saved games, asking you to confirm it.”
“Beautiful game, absolutely amazing! I have been waiting for a medieval one like this for a long time. It has everything you'd want, like the orders of knights, iconic generals, and a great story element too.”
“Great game, the story is good, the combat is smooth, and being able to upgrade so much is just awesome. I would definitely recommend it to friends.”
“The campaign utilizes cheap tricks to make some of the missions more 'difficult': cities that infinitely heal, unkillable units that infinitely heal, infinite units spawning from outside the map. It would be tolerable if the game did a good job of telling you what to do through objectives, but it doesn't seem to be good at that either.”
“Was fun till chapter 6; it's obvious that they want you to pay at this point. I progressed as far as I could in conquests and hard mode, yet every mission I don't even come close to winning.”
“Unfortunately, the game is already pay-to-win. For example, in the Edward mission of Welsh, without Charlemagne, you can't do it. To access some missions, you need certain generals. The difficulty on hard is equal to pay-to-win... sad.”

The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the option to play effectively without spending money. While in-app purchases can provide advantages, many users feel that the game remains enjoyable and fair for free-to-play players, allowing significant progress without mandatory spending. Overall, the monetization is described as unobtrusive, with optional ads that reward players without feeling like a cash grab.
“What surprised me most is the freedom free-to-play players have; the monetization is unobtrusive, so you can fully pass the game on normal level without paying for premium generals, although purchasing any of them will make the game much easier.”
“I've made no in-app purchases and I haven't even used war drums yet (I have about 1500), and yet it's super good.”
“I know this game has a lot of in-game purchases, but if you play it without spending money, you will still make good progress, and it provides a lot of login gifts, sign-up bonuses, and free privileges.”
“A lot of paywalled generals, paywalled unique equipment (mostly for non-paid generals) and a reward email but the condition to take that reward is to buy (in-app purchase) a general.”
“Pretty good imo, the monetization is advanced and kinda annoying as someone who isn't usually a whale but regardless i think it's a pretty good game and it deserves support from people who are more willing to spend.”
“Just a reskin of their old games-- with more microtransactions, obviously”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed bag; while some appreciate the challenge and strategy involved, many feel it can be excessively tedious and time-consuming, especially when compared to previous titles in the series. Although the game is not pay-to-win and allows for progression without spending money, the grind for upgrades and unlocking content can detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these criticisms, some players still find the grind rewarding and enjoyable, highlighting a balance between effort and satisfaction.
“If you played all the prior games to this one, you will know that they used to be much harder and the grind was astronomical. If you bought anything, it cost a lot of money if you didn't want to spend the month grinding medals for gold heroes.”
“It's definitely enjoyable, but it does become increasingly grindy with time. It's something I can get past, but it's definitely an issue.”
“A good game with a big potential except for the paywall and hard grinding.”

The stability of the game is mixed, with some users experiencing frequent freezes and bugs, particularly on certain phone models like Motorola. However, others report a smooth and glitch-free experience, indicating that performance may vary significantly across devices. Overall, while the game shows promise, stability issues prevent it from achieving a higher rating for some players.
“Runs extremely smoothly and bug-free.”
“Very promising, however I don't know if it's my phone type or a buggy app, but it tends to freeze up on my Motorola, making the game barely playable.”
“Would be an easy 5 stars, but the game can be buggy at times.”
“Sometimes it just freezes after starting.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players expressing a desire for new battle themes rather than reusing old ones. While a few users appreciate the historical accuracy and enjoy the music in conquest mode, others criticize the overall quality, describing it as poor and lacking in variety. Additionally, there are complaints about intrusive ad music continuing to play in the background, detracting from the gaming experience.
“This is my favorite mobile game! I like the historical accuracy, and over time it has gotten really good. The music is what I like the most about the conquest mode.”
“Plus, you should make new battle music/themes for the game instead of using the old theme from previous games.”
“After watching some ads for rewards, the music from the ads continues in the background or when I go to the campaign. I tried turning off the game and my phone.”
“The worst part of the game is the music; it is very bad and lacks quality.”

The humor in the game is noted for its irony, particularly in the contrast between the free unique equipment for characters like Richard and Caesar versus the paid general equipment. Additionally, players find amusement in the game's medieval European setting being recommended by an Asian friend, highlighting the unexpected cultural juxtaposition.
“It's funny that you're giving unique equipment of Richard and Caesar freely while asking us for money for general equipment.”
“Well, from now on, may you all play happily and have a humorous day.”
“It's actually funny because my Asian friend told me about this game, but the game content is about medieval Europe.”

“The backstories and arcs of the characters are well-crafted, adding layers of complexity that enhance the overall experience.”
“This game is awesome, but the reason I gave it 4 stars is because there aren't many character designs. If you add more character designs, then I will give it five stars.”
“The character development feels shallow and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
“I was disappointed with how predictable the character arcs were; they didn't evolve in any meaningful way throughout the game.”
