  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it stagnant and lacking depth, particularly in terms of strategic options and progression. Critics note that it often devolves into repetitive tactics, while others praise its addictive nature and unique mechanics, such as hidden bases and balanced gameplay in certain modes. Overall, the experience varies significantly, with some players enjoying the strategic elements while others feel it falls short of expectations.

    • “An interesting addition to gameplay is neutral and secret allies.”
    • “Excellent gameplay and game modes.”
    • “But the gameplay is one of the most addictive one-more-turn-ers I know.”
    • “I felt wanting more from it, because even judging by board game standards, gameplay has its issues.”
    • “Gameplay then devolves into building turrets to slow down and hopefully inflict minimal losses on an enemy and its overwhelming force which wants to capture your allies.”
    • “There is no depth to the gameplay, neither from an economic nor military perspective.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lacking depth and originality, describing it as an "excuse plot." However, others appreciated the unique characters involved in the conflict, even if the voice acting was criticized as subpar. Overall, while the narrative may not be the main focus, it offers some enjoyable elements.

    • “The different characters were all unique on both sides of the war, and I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline.”
    • “Those exact scenarios can also be specifically played by themselves with a little bit of backstory added to them.”
    • “[*] story campaign!”
    • “The big downside is the story and voice acting.”
    • “The story is just another excuse plot, but at least it's not the main focus, and the voice acting... oh, it's hilariously bad!”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality, complementing the visuals and dialogues effectively, while the sound effects also receive positive remarks.

    • “The music is fantastic and really enhances the overall experience.”
    • “The sound effects and music are both excellent.”
    • “The dialogues are complemented beautifully by the nice music.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are described as spartan and outdated, lacking in production values, which contrasts humorously with the dramatic "slow mo zoom in glory cam" effect used during explosions. Overall, the game falls behind contemporary standards in both graphics and audio.

    • “The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the game world to life.”
    • “The art style is unique and visually appealing, making every scene a pleasure to look at.”
    • “The character models are beautifully designed, showcasing impressive animations and lifelike expressions.”
    • “Not for the production values obviously: both audio and graphics are spartan, which makes the 'slow-mo zoom-in glory cam' when an expensive unit is blown up rather hilarious.”
    • “For the record, at the time it was behind in terms of graphics and sound too.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report frequent game freezes, indicating significant stability issues that detract from the overall gaming experience.

    • “The game frequently freezes, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I experience constant freezing issues that disrupt my gameplay.”
    • “The frequent game freezes are incredibly frustrating and ruin the experience.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the high replayability of the game, attributing it to the engaging system that enhances the experience across a limited number of maps.

    • “What's really cool about this system is that it makes the limited number of maps highly replayable.”
    • “The variety of choices and outcomes keeps me coming back for more.”
    • “Each playthrough feels fresh due to the dynamic events and character interactions.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is primarily derived from its absurd story and intentionally poor voice acting, which many players find amusing despite the plot being secondary to the overall experience.

    • “The story is just another excuse plot, but at least it's not the main focus, and the voice acting... oh, it's hilariously bad!”
