  • grinding2 mentions

    While some players appreciate that the game avoids the stale and overly grindy nature of similar titles, others find it to be just another clone, lacking enough unique features to differentiate it from games like Lords Mobile. Fans of the genre may still enjoy it, but it ultimately falls into the same tedious gameplay patterns.

    • “Sadly, it's a clone like many others. If you've played Lords Mobile or one of the many other clones, this game tries to offer some unique functions, but sadly not enough. It's the same tedious grind as Lords was.”
    • “The game is not stale and grindy like other similar games.”

    • “At first, it was very interesting to play as it has all the things you wanted for an RTS/RTK fan until... you see two players fighting on the field up close, sending their troops to attack, and then their castles start to teleport around. It's literally like Goku and Frieza fighting and teleporting back and forth. It's hilarious!”
