  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received widespread praise for their smoothness and high quality, with many users noting significant enhancements in the updated version, including impressive 3D visuals and unique artwork for card backs. While some players mention that the graphics may be demanding on lower-end PCs, the overall consensus is that the visual improvements greatly enhance the gameplay experience, making it more engaging and entertaining. However, a few users feel that the graphics do not match the polish of competitors like Hearthstone.

    • “The graphics are quite well developed and I like that the board looks exactly like a real battlefield.”
    • “Graphics - unexpectedly great for a card strategy game.”
    • “The graphics with the new update are amazing, the sounds are amazing, and as always, the devs are amazing.”
    • “I would say that Faceoff has better gameplay than Hearthstone, but Hearthstone is way more polished and certainly has more lovingly nurtured graphics.”
    • “Nah, looks poor in graphics; I had more fun in Hearthstone. It's a copy of this game, but military-themed.”
    • “March of War: Face Off XL is pretty much just March of War: Face Off with updated PC graphics and a handful of 'quality of life' changes.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by strategic depth, requiring players to employ various tactics, reminiscent of chess in its emphasis on unit positioning. While some find the mechanics engaging and the animations impressive, others criticize the game for its simplicity and similarities to existing titles like Hearthstone, noting issues with performance and a lack of innovation. Overall, players appreciate the community support for newcomers, but concerns about the game's foundation and execution persist.

    • “This game truly involves strategic gameplay when it comes to using different strategies. For example, when I was playing with my friend, he had a large army of Germans attempting to rush my lines while I had tanks and mechanics pocket medicing them.”
    • “The battlefield gameplay is really challenging - there are a lot of similarities with chess because the position of your units relative to each other can make a big difference.”
    • “Spend some time learning the mechanics and you will get hooked.”
    • “The main problem is, I think, the theme: it is good not to see another RPG card game free to play but something fresh, not exploited, but I find the game simple and with repeated mechanics.”
    • “And before anyone starts to say 'but it's early access,' I get it, but when the 'game foundation' and game mechanics are just taken from another game, I don't see how this game can even evolve into a real game.”
    • “However, a big problem for this game is the FPS, which are awful during gameplay.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for a more engaging story campaign, with some favoring a creative, pulp-inspired narrative over historical accuracy. While daily quests and rewards add some excitement, the current sci-fi elements feel out of place and poorly integrated into the overall storyline.

    • “I would like to see that story campaign you're promising!”
    • “I'm not a historical purist; in fact, I think I would enjoy the game more if it had a pulp storyline about 'Oh no, the Nazis are training a dinosaur army, so I guess we'll have to use these cool mad scientist weapons and magic to beat the Fuhrer's Teutonic T-rexes!'”
    • “I was really disappointed with the story; it felt rushed and underdeveloped.”
    • “The plot twists were predictable, and the characters lacked depth.”
    • “I expected a rich narrative, but the story was confusing and poorly executed.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is currently lacking, with users noting poor settings that hinder performance. Developers express eagerness to implement improvements to enhance the experience for a broader player base.

    • “As a developer, I can't wait to dive into performance improvements that will allow more players to have the XL experience! :D”
    • “The optimization in this game is impressive, making it run smoothly even on lower-end hardware.”
    • “I love how the developers are constantly working on optimization, ensuring that the game runs flawlessly for everyone.”
    • “Poor optimization settings.”
    • “As a developer, I can't wait to dive into performance improvements that will allow more players to have the XL experience.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users acknowledge that while the game is nearly flawless, it does experience some glitches that affect stability.

    • “I know this game is close to perfect except for some glitches.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I've experienced numerous bugs that disrupt the gameplay experience.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound design in the game are highly praised, with users highlighting the brilliance of battle sounds, unit sounds, and the alert music that enhances the overall experience.

    • “The battle sounds, unit sounds, and music create an immersive experience that truly enhances gameplay.”
    • “The soundtrack is absolutely brilliant, perfectly setting the mood for every battle.”
    • “The alert sounds when a battle begins are incredibly well-designed, adding to the overall excitement.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that the grinding in this game is perceived as less challenging compared to the original, with some players finding it more akin to Hearthstone's RNG-driven mechanics. Those who enjoy a similar level of grinding with a focus on randomness may appreciate this aspect.

    • “Even the grinding against AI and players seems to be a joke in comparison to the original game.”
    • “If you like more RNG and the same amount of grinding as in Hearthstone, you will like this game.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by witty quips on the cards, such as playful remarks about joining the army, which contribute to its overall charm. Despite some technical issues, players find the game to be both funny and engaging, making it a recommended experience.

    • “Smooth graphics, funny little quips on the cards—'Join the army, they said; it will be fun, they said.'”
    • “Overall, despite the FPS problem, this is a very funny and interesting card game, and I truly recommend it to anyone.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Both games offer high replayability, though one user expresses a personal preference for "Faceoff."

    • “Both games are very replayable, but I prefer Faceoff personally.”
