The game's story is praised for its rich lore and detailed world-building, immersing players in a fantasy setting filled with diverse creatures and clever tactics. While the single-player campaign offers a variety of well-designed missions that gradually introduce game mechanics, some players found the narrative difficult to follow and noted issues with AI allies affecting mission success. Overall, the campaign is engaging but could benefit from additional content and depth.
“A rich world and story with some clever tactics.”
“The story takes a deep dive into their fantasy world with lots of creatures and lore.”
“I am blown away by the attention to detail and care the team at Boomzap clearly put into building a rich story-driven world for me to explore.”
“It's pretty bad as some units need to be kept alive and the AI likes to suicide those units, failing the mission for you.”
“It seems pretty shallow, and while the basic mechanics are solid, it really looks like it would benefit from more content in every form: longer missions, more cards to a faction, more factions, and hopefully more uniqueness to the building cards.”
“And the difficulty does not go linearly up; there are plenty of missions that are way too easy late in the game.”

The gameplay is praised for its depth, complexity, and unique mechanics, offering a variety of units and a well-thought-out combat system. Players appreciate the entertaining campaign and map variety, though some find the difficulty curve inconsistent and the overall content somewhat lacking. The introduction of card mechanics adds variety, but there are calls for more content to enhance the experience further.
“The gameplay is actually complex and way deeper than I expected.”
“There are a lot of varied units in the game and while the core mechanics are pretty much the same for all of them, they are still unique and different from each other.”
“Especially the story-driven campaign does a good job of introducing you to the game's core mechanics and very quickly unlocks the full potential of skirmish matches, multiplayer, and even a level editor.”
“I liked their previous strategy game, but I found this one to be utterly dull and the mechanics rather tedious.”
“It seems pretty shallow, and while the basic mechanics are solid, it really looks like it would benefit from more content in every form: longer missions, more cards to a faction, more factions, and hopefully more uniqueness to the building cards.”
“The difficulty curve is a bit weird; the game can be difficult, but once you get to know the mechanics well, it can also become very easy.”

“The graphics are stylish and the interface provides plenty of information without getting overwhelming, even when a lot is going on at the same time.”
“Graphics display the info you need to make decisions in a clear way.”
“Overall it feels like an old-school TBS with modern graphics.”
“The graphics and battle map remind me of the card game Faeria, whereas the simultaneous orders of tactical combat are like the 4X game Endless Legend.”
“- Graphical bug - you still see some damage numbers even if you are watching a different part of the map, but nothing game-breaking, so never mind.”

The game offers solid replayability in multiplayer due to balanced unit capabilities, but the campaign's lack of varied difficulty levels limits its replay value, as it swings from very easy to very hard without intermediate options. Players suggest that adding more difficulty settings could enhance the overall replay experience.
“The campaign is interesting and the unit capabilities are balanced well for replayability in multiplayer.”
“They need to add difficulty levels to increase the replay value because right now the campaign goes from very easy to very hard with no in between, and the skirmishes are also easy.”
“They need to add a difficulty level to increase the replay value because right now the campaign goes from very easy to very hard with no in between, and the skirmishes are also easy.”
