The graphics of the game are generally considered decent, with a nice aesthetic that captures a historical feel, though they max out at 1900x1080 resolution, leading to a somewhat low-resolution appearance compared to previous titles.

“While the graphics feature a period feel of sorts, the resolution maxes out at 1920x1080, which results in a rather low-res look for the map, cutscenes, cards, and unit counters compared with Avalon's previous releases.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs, unworkable multiplayer, random freezes, and control problems. Players report a lack of coherence in gameplay mechanics, leading to frustrating experiences and a sense that the game was not fully realized. Overall, the stability concerns detract heavily from the enjoyment and functionality of the game.
“It's a facelift of wars across the world, and it seems as though the creator didn't have the drive to complete it. There are so many bugs, from unworkable multiplayer to random game freezes, to the inability to pick up soldiers in certain scenarios. Control issues and code popping up in some spots (notably in the tooltips box on the upper right-hand corner) make the battles nonsensical and random, with little to no control given to the player. The card system seems divorced from the game itself; it's like they didn't know whether to give you a card game or a dice game, and so you end up with the worst of both.”
“It is a bit buggy and somewhat hard to learn/follow at the start.”
