  • story
    126 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, featuring an engaging backstory with elements of choice and character development that can affect gameplay. Players appreciate the fully voiced narrative and the intriguing plot twists, although some find the dialogue and mission structure repetitive. While the story has its strengths, including romance and community interactions, it can also feel generic at times, with some players expressing a desire for more frequent narrative engagement between missions.

    • “It has a little MMO environment-like feel, an engaging backstory campaign, backstabbing with choices branching out, and little sprinkles of romance.”
    • “The attacks are fluid, the tactics are intense, and the story is compelling.”
    • “My favorite thing about this game is the storyline and the dialogue, when the characters are talking and can gain some stats depending on what you say. I find that pretty interesting.”
    • “The story is beyond generic, as far as I've been, and the loot and daily quests feel like a dime-a-thousand mobile game.”
    • “Sadly, the dialogue feature (talking to people, making choices that give you miscellaneous bonuses and apparently there is some romance in the game, of both genders too!) happens only when you beat a mission, so it's infrequent considering how long it takes to beat each map, generally speaking, about 20 minutes, depending on your pacing.”
    • “So far the story seems to be primarily about ridding the world of this corruption that it has found itself in; as of me writing this review, I have not progressed very far in the story.”
  • graphics
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players noting their outdated, 90's-era style that resembles early RTS games. While some appreciate the retro charm and simplicity, others criticize the graphics as mediocre and poorly executed, leading to gameplay issues such as difficulty in unit selection. Overall, the visuals are seen as a secondary concern, with gameplay being the primary focus for many players.

    • “If you like tabletop games, turn-based strategy, or enjoy old school graphics on a fun platform, look no further!”
    • “It is a great one, solid graphics that look excellent for a tactical online game with almost 10 years of development, excellent voices that even a non-English speaker like me could understand, and an awesome story with some twists.”
    • “It needs more community and it needs more content plus polish on the interface, but speaking for the game that currently exists, it is very well done, charming graphics, awesome sounds/music.”
    • “Some interesting concepts here, but between the outdated UI, mediocre graphics straight out of a 1995 RTS game, and generally poor gameplay, this is not a game I can really recommend to anyone.”
    • “Also, because of the 90's-era graphics, units often bunch up together graphically, and it becomes quite difficult to keep track of which unit is at any given spot in clumps of units, let alone select any specific one.”
    • “The cutscenes are gorgeous, whereas the game itself is a bit of a let down in the graphics department.”
  • gameplay
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its strategic depth and cooperative elements, while others criticize its outdated mechanics and graphics reminiscent of 90s games. The turn-based system and action point mechanics offer a unique approach, but many find the gameplay to be slow and lacking in diversity. Overall, while it has interesting concepts and can be enjoyable, it may not appeal to everyone due to its retro feel and certain gameplay limitations.

    • “A retro-feeling game which incorporates a 'time pool' mechanic to turns, allowing freedom of how to control your units and maximize your teamwork.”
    • “The mechanics are quick and easy to learn, but there's a reasonable amount of subtle strategy.”
    • “It may not be as visually polished as most recent productions, but the gameplay is sound and fun, and it definitely can be played for free - you can always buy some character classes to speed things up or discover new things faster, but no one is pushing you to do so.”
    • “Some interesting concepts here, but between the outdated UI, mediocre graphics straight out of a 1995 RTS game, and generally poor gameplay, this is not a game I can really recommend to anyone.”
    • “The lack of diversity of heroes, abilities, and gear, the simplistic click-attack gameplay; I just wasn't interested at all.”
    • “Gameplay is something like playing a very choppy/stuttery Diablo clone with a Warcraft 2 interface.”
  • grinding
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is heavily criticized for its grindy nature, with players noting that the repetitive farming for loot and character levels can become tedious and monotonous. While some enjoy the strategic aspect of building a team and unlocking new heroes, many feel that the slow progression and reliance on grinding detracts from the overall experience, especially with content locked behind paywalls. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant hurdle that slows down gameplay and can lead to frustration.

    • “This makes the game really grindy, and slows it down unnecessarily.”
    • “Immortal Empire is a very slow turn-based Diablo clone that puts mountains of content behind a paywall and is otherwise a game of very slow grinding for loot.”
    • “It gets tedious and monotonous.”
  • monetization
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization strategy has drawn significant criticism for its heavy reliance on mobile app-style microtransactions and a perceived pay-to-win model, with DLC costing over $180 deemed a cash grab. While some players find that in-game currency can reasonably cover microtransactions, many express frustration over the overall monetization approach, labeling it as exploitative despite occasional praise for its less aggressive aspects.

    • “Currently though, it's a boring, monotonous, unbalanced snoozefest with a surprisingly tame and tolerable monetization scheme, which is a bit respectable.”
    • “I hate microtransactions in any game, but at least this one doesn't feel pay-to-win.”
    • “All microtransactions can be done in reasonable time with in-game currency.”
    • “The game is heavily infested with nasty mobile app tier microtransactions, and on top of that, this massively pay-to-win browser game has completely insulting cash grab DLC, over $180 USD worth.”
    • “The developer has deliberately lied about the $180 price tag associated with the microtransactions and DLC for this game.”
    • “It's mostly just a cash grab.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as good and fitting for the fantasy setting, with some reviewers noting its epic quality. However, there are mixed opinions, with some feeling it lacks uniqueness and could benefit from more content and polish. Overall, the sound effects and voice acting complement the music, contributing to a charming audio experience.

    • “The game is beautiful, with really good sound effects and nice music.”
    • “You can control a party of powerful immortals in a fantasy world with great music, sound effects, and dialogues with NPCs.”
    • “Graphics are 16-bit era style and the music is epic.”
    • “The music is nothing special.”
    • “The music is nothing special.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized for causing significant performance issues, including stuttering and unresponsive army movements, which detract from the overall experience. Players have noted the presence of bugs that were not encountered in the browser version, suggesting that the Steam release may be facing specific optimization challenges.

    • “This leads to 'stuttering' armies that are as responsive as snails caught in the throes of senile dementia, stopping every few seconds to wait for your next (gonna be a tad sarcastic here) very, very surprising and unpredictable order to... move to that same location you clicked on a few seconds ago.”
    • “There is a handful of bugs and performance issues that I don't remember having when I played it in my browser, but this could just be the Steam release having problems.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game offers decent replayability due to its engaging story, which includes surprises and the ability to explore different dialogue options in subsequent playthroughs. This encourages players to revisit the game to experience alternative narratives.

    • “This game adds a significant amount of replay value.”
    • “The story is engaging enough that it encourages multiple playthroughs to experience different outcomes.”
    • “The story has a few surprises, but the replay value is limited since you can only go back to explore different dialogue options.”
    • “While the story is reasonably good, the replayability feels lacking after the initial playthrough.”
    • “There are some decent surprises in the story, but overall, the replay value is not as high as I expected.”

    • “The character designs themselves are not ugly, and although the overall graphics aren't great, there is a sort of rustic charm to them, kind of like revisiting the original Age of Empires II in 2021.”
