  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal, with players noting a lack of lore and world-building, as well as a limited number of missions (19 tutorials and 11 objectives). While some players express a desire for more campaign content, the overall narrative experience is considered poor, particularly in terms of difficulty and depth. As an early access title, expectations for a robust story are low, but the absence of engaging content is still a notable concern.

    • “More campaign missions would be amazing.”
    • “You can play 19 tutorial missions and 11 objective missions.”
    • “Early access game, so I'm not expecting a story, and also expect bugs.”
    • “Early access game, so I'm not expecting a story, and I also expect bugs.”
    • “Story, lore, and world - there are none.”
    • “Difficulty is poor, except the latest mission (you fight with 4 heroes).”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized as broken and frustrating, with some users finding it weak and unengaging, leading them to question whether it's worth continuing. However, there are positive mentions of strong strategy mechanics, suggesting that while the gameplay may not be appealing to everyone, it could still hold value for those interested in the overall experience, including aspects like miniature painting. Potential players are advised to watch gameplay videos before making a purchase decision.

    • “Great strategy mechanics!”
    • “If you watched the video and the gameplay videos elsewhere, you can see exactly what you get with the purchase.”
    • “The gameplay is broken and frustrating.”
    • “The game is very weak (that's the reason why there are no gameplay videos in the store).”
    • “If you are most excited about the gameplay and that side of things, wait.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some users criticize the poor optimization and lack of detailed graphical settings, others praise the animation quality and overall visual presentation. Additionally, the game features a comprehensive tutorial that effectively explains its systems.

    • “The game can be praised in terms of animation and graphics, and includes a detailed tutorial explaining the game systems very well.”
    • “Optimization is bad; there are no detailed graphical settings.”
    • “The graphics are underwhelming and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
    • “The overall visual presentation feels outdated and fails to impress.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that unlocking various items, such as figurines and colors, heavily relies on engaging in PvP grinding, which can be a tedious and time-consuming process.

    • “You can't unlock many things - figurines, colors, etc. - without PvP grinding.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to enjoy the game.”
    • “I find myself spending more time grinding than actually playing the game.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the music, particularly the battle themes, to be a valuable addition to the game, enhancing the overall experience and justifying the $20 price point alongside other features like painting miniatures and tutorials.

    • “For $20, the painting miniatures, the battle music, and the tutorials are easily worth the amount paid.”
