Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both enjoyable and tedious, particularly when managing large armies and positioning units. While some appreciate the satisfaction of defeating bosses through grinding, others note that the repetitive nature can become cumbersome. Overall, the experience of grinding is seen as a double-edged sword, offering both enjoyment and frustration.
“With a big army, it becomes tedious to position the ranged units in different areas or to send in chaff units first.”
“I have made a living from playing games professionally, as well as through grindy games and FPS games. I have to say, sometimes simple really is the way to go.”
“Beat the game a couple of times; I really enjoyed grinding and defeating bosses.”

Players feel that the gameplay has become stagnant, often involving long waits for unit training and healing, which detracts from the overall experience. Many express a desire for multiplayer options and increased enemy challenges to enhance engagement and excitement.
“The only thing I wish this game had was multiplayer and an option to increase the amount of orcs that come from the strongholds for a really challenging gameplay.”
“The gameplay has devolved into sitting in my base waiting for the units I want to train up, or expensive units to heal.”

The game features a compelling concept and innovative storytelling that is conveyed through in-game items, allowing players to engage with the narrative on a personal level by controlling units directly from the ground rather than from a detached perspective. This unique approach to storytelling has garnered positive feedback, with players expressing a desire for more games to adopt similar mechanics.
“Great concept and storytelling through items. I wish more games were like this, where you could directly control a unit from the ground as an actual entity and not some kind of mist in the sky. It's a great game, and I love it.”
