The game's story is praised for its rich lore and well-designed single-player campaign, which immerses players in a detailed fantasy world filled with diverse creatures and tactical challenges. While some players found the narrative engaging and the missions creatively structured, others felt the story was somewhat shallow and difficult to follow, with a desire for more content and depth in the campaign. Overall, the campaign effectively introduces game mechanics while providing a satisfying experience, though it could benefit from additional complexity and variety.
“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.”
“The story takes a deep dive into their fantasy world with lots of creatures and lore, but it feels pretty shallow overall.”
“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.”

The gameplay is praised for its depth, complexity, and well-thought-out mechanics, offering a variety of unique units and an engaging campaign.

“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 campaign is interesting, and the unit capabilities are well-balanced 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.”
