The gameplay is characterized by a straightforward and easy-to-understand turn-based strategy format, featuring deep mechanics such as unique unit builds, damage modifiers, and a variable skill tree. However, the experience is marred by a frustrating final battle that introduces a poorly communicated mechanic, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable game that lasts about 10-15 hours on a single map. Overall, while the gameplay offers familiar elements and complexity, the execution in critical moments leaves room for improvement.
“Right of the Sword is an old school turn-based strategy game with simple controls and deep, complex mechanics.”
“Very familiar gameplay with deep and complex mechanics, such as different damage modifiers and a variable skill tree.”
“The gameplay itself is very straightforward and easy to understand.”
“Whether you agree or not with the philosophy of how this last fight is set up, with a mechanic not previously used in the game, with a boss and his squad with substantially greater hit points than your guys could conceivably have, the realization of the fight is poor: you cannot easily determine this incredibly key piece of information, so key that the devs carefully set it out for you, and this failure makes the last battle frustrating and ruins an otherwise completely enjoyable game.”
“Pretty short, just one map for about 10-15 hours of gameplay, a Disciples-like game, with the possibility of unique unit builds.”
“About gameplay - where's my big spell book?!”

The game's story has received mixed feedback; some players appreciate its engaging narrative and the emotional impact it delivers, while others criticize the lack of a clear storyline and the absence of features that could enhance the experience. Despite being in early access and having rough edges, many are optimistic about its potential once fully developed.
“The game has an interesting storyline and exciting battles in which you will need certain qualities: tactical, logical and simply you have to think three steps ahead.”
“With easy controls and an interesting story.”
“I won't spoil the plot because I want to save your emotions from the game; personally, I really liked it!”
“There's no story, no breaking up the constant stream of turn-based fights with something else, no minigames, no nothing.”
“I was not sure of a story or objective but was not critical because it is in early access.”
“It is rough around the edges, with occasional crashes and missing features like a quest log (or at least a chat log), but it's still in early access, and I can't wait to play it again once it's finished.”

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with players noting that it becomes excessively repetitive, as every battle feels identical. The gameplay primarily revolves around wandering a small map and grinding mobs to level up, a common feature in the genre but taken to an extreme here. Overall, the grindiness detracts from the experience, making it feel monotonous.
“Very, very, very grindy.”
“"Grindy" here also means that every single fight is exactly the same.”
“Currently the game consists mostly of wandering a small map and grinding mobs to level up your party (in order to fight higher level mobs and liberate a few sporadic settlements).”

The game offers significant replayability due to its engaging mechanics and user-friendly design, reminiscent of classic titles like King's Bounty and Monster's Den. However, concerns arise regarding potential repetitiveness if the maps remain unchanged, which could limit long-term replay value. Overall, while the game has strong replayable elements, its longevity may depend on map variety.
“The environment in the game belongs to the fantasy style, and the features can be highlighted as follows: early access, strategy, role-playing game, indie, turn-based strategy, turn-based tactics, steam achievements, middle ages, for one player, fantasy, tactical role-playing game, role-playing strategy, magic, tactics, turn-based, masterpiece, classic, adventure, old school, character customization, top view, atmosphere, exploration, difficult, artificial intelligence, replay value.”
“Not sure about replayability - if it's the same map every time probably not so much.....”
“A smaller, much more user-friendly version of a King's Bounty type game, with some Monster's Den replayability.”
“This is the real genius of the game and makes for a lot of replayability.”
