The gameplay features light RPG mechanics, allowing players to level up and increase their army size while selecting passive buffs. However, after about ten hours, players may find the experience repetitive, as it often devolves into simply moving from one battle to the next, with some criticism aimed at the underdeveloped map mechanics. Overall, while the initial gameplay is enjoyable, it tends to lose its appeal over time.
- “There are some light RPG mechanics, and as you level up, the size of the army you can lead will increase, allowing you to choose between some passive buffs.”
- “At the first 10 hours, I really enjoyed the game mechanics, even though many said it was terrifying.”
- “I think that they should have done more with the map mechanics, though, because when my playtime started to reach the 10-hour mark, I began to feel like I was just moving from battle to battle.”
- “I think that they should have done more with the map mechanics though because when my playtime started to reach the 10 hour mark I started to feel like I was just moving from battle to battle.”

The game's storyline has been criticized for being uninteresting and lacking engagement, with some reviewers describing it as a bland mix of elements from other games like Mount & Blade and Total War. Overall, the narrative does not seem to capture players' attention, leading many to feel it is not worth discussing.
- “You travel around the map doing missions.”
- “I think my problem with the game is the storyline is just not very interesting or engaging.”

stability

The game has been criticized for its significant stability issues, with users reporting numerous bugs that detract from the overall experience. The campaign map, while adding depth, suffers from unrealistic mechanics and poor execution, leading to frustration and boredom among players. Overall, the game's stability is a major concern, impacting enjoyment and gameplay quality.
- “You guys really put this buggy game on the store???”
- “However, the campaign map adds a lot, but the execution is really poor. The campaign map feels so buggy and not realistic at all. For example, robbers are like an organized kingdom army that can crush you. The trade system feels unreal, the upgrades could be much better, and after some time, you will feel extremely bored from the campaign and just want to play those epic historic battles which were in real warfare 1242. That's why I would give it a 6 just because of the campaign, and I think if they make it like a Total War game campaign but in real time, it will be much better.”
