The story aspect of the game is described as lacking coherence, with players encountering issues such as starvation and disease during missions, which detracts from the overall experience. While the training mission is appreciated, the absence of critical resources like an apothecary in key scenarios raises concerns about gameplay balance and narrative clarity.
- “I did like the training mission and when I wanted to move my troops, some moved.”
- “There is a disease in town and there is no apothecary in the mission. The first tutorial also has no apothecary, but no disease spawns, so I guess you just deal with it.”
- “Food seems abundant, though my troops still starved at the end of the third tutorial mission.”
- “So I instead went to mission 1, where after taking care of the enemy on the map, I wanted to do the objective.”
