While the battle mechanics and strategic elements are highlighted as strong points, some players find the overall gameplay to be somewhat dated, particularly in terms of graphics and certain mechanics that feel broken.

“The actual mechanics of the game are fascinating, well-designed, and very detailed yet not too complex to require a PhD to play (unlike a lot of other stat-based games).”
“Good strategy game with even better battle mechanics.”
“It really feels empowering, commanding an army and setting up formations to best utilize the skills against the formation and unit types of the incoming enemy army; however, know that Celtic Kings 1, Nemesis, and GBR all have very different mechanics between them.”
“Gameplay is a bit dated, as are the graphics.”
“The gameplay is broken beyond belief (as with many old games), so I always recommend playing as Rome or maybe Carthage.”
“Economics are driven by gold and food, generating automatically in a building with little worker mechanics.”
