  • gameplay18 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of unique mechanics and balanced design, offering an engaging experience, especially in the campaign. However, players note that it can become repetitive over time, particularly in late-game scenarios, and the AI can be frustratingly strong or slow, leading to lengthy turns. While the game stands out in its genre, it may not hold the attention of those seeking fast-paced action or variety in problem-solving approaches.

    • “Gameplay -- amazing, well balanced and fair.”
    • “Original mechanics that work well together.”
    • “The game has a very interesting campaign and well-balanced gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay does get stale after a while since there's usually only a few ways to solve a problem.”
    • “I'm banking on a negative on this; unless they introduce some new mechanics, this game is pretty much in its final, never touched again state.”
    • “However, in earlier campaign missions, when not all game mechanics are enabled yet, they play weaker as they act as if those mechanics would still work when they don't.”
  • story11 mentions

    The game's story is engaging, with players enjoying the campaign's missions, though some report bugs that hinder progression, such as an inability to unlock certain missions. While the narrative unfolds over a series of 12 missions, the pacing can feel slow as features are gradually introduced, and the AI's performance can impact mission difficulty. Overall, the story has potential, but technical issues and pacing concerns detract from the experience.

    • “The campaign has been quite interesting; it takes a whole 12 missions before every feature is finally unlocked.”
    • “I'm only 12 missions in, and having such a blast that I'm already making and testing my own map, thanks to the integrated editor.”
    • “Maybe when the game is finished and working, this might be worth something, because those 4 missions I played were good fun.”
    • “When I eventually got it running, the campaign was bugged and would not unlock the 5th mission.”
    • “The reason is, unless you spent minutes a turn to watch every square inch of your land, the CPU's ability to just spam the best options as fast as you results in inflated mission times.”
    • “Like, okay, let's take an example: the fifth mission puts you for the first time with two enemies.”
  • graphics6 mentions

    The graphics are generally considered basic and somewhat dated, but they effectively convey a board game aesthetic that many players appreciate.

    • “The graphics are nice, animations are nice, sound design exists, and the mechanics are pretty nice.”
    • “Graphics are dated, and the UI is annoying (right-click deletes your pieces? No way to get a top-down view?).”
    • “Graphics are a bit basic, but the game mechanics work pretty well and there's no issue telling what a unit is.”
    • “Graphics -- not exciting, but more fancy would spoil the overview.”
  • grinding3 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, particularly on larger maps, as the lack of unit movement contributes to a grindy experience. While achieving 100% completion is possible, it requires a significant investment of time and effort.

    • “A bit grindy at times, but what do you expect from a game where all the units cannot move?”
    • “100% achievements -- doable, but a bit grindy.”
    • “Can get a little tedious on some of the bigger maps.”
