stability2 negative mentions
  • The game offers a chill, light strategy experience with a satisfying army building and combat system that rewards planning and troop development.
  • Visuals are appealing with cute, cartoony graphics and humorous character customization that adds charm and lightness to gameplay.
  • Runs well on lower-end systems and is well-suited for casual play sessions without overwhelming complexity.
  • The game is plagued by numerous bugs, crashes frequently, and has many unfinished or poorly implemented mechanics that hamper gameplay fluidity.
  • Content is limited with repetitive quests, minimal variety in items and builds, and a very short campaign with low replayability.
  • Core gameplay systems lack depth and meaningful interaction, with balancing issues, clunky controls, and some mechanics feeling pointless or poorly explained.

  • story

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The story in the game is minimal and repetitive, with only a few quest types that are frequently recycled and often lack meaningful variation or follow-through. While quests contribute to building army reputation and advancing favor with the king, their objectives rarely impact the narrative or require returning to quest givers, leading to a somewhat shallow storytelling experience. However, recent updates have added new content and strategic elements that enhance engagement and planning within the gameplay loop.

    • “Every mission completed contributes to the army's reputation and standing within the realm, while failures can damage trust and limit future opportunities.”
    • “The goal of this game is to get 100 favourability from the king, where you get 3 for completing the easiest (1 skull) quest and you get more for more difficult ones.”
    • “The game, from demo to its release: so many things from the demo were brought into the release, it's not as easy anymore to just speedrun within an hour for king's favor like before. Many more elements were brought in; I, for one, love the fact that you have to chase your quests more and plan your fights more.”
    • “There are only a few missions (and only 2-3 types) in the game and they are constantly recycled.”
    • “Not much content and there are only like a half dozen quests that get recycled.”
    • “There is no difference between quests you take. They have different titles, different descriptions, but whatever quest you take, there is only one condition to finish it.”

  • gameplay

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The gameplay of Rising Army is praised for its well-designed combat mechanics and strategic depth, emphasizing preparation and management alongside battles, which creates an engaging and rewarding experience. While some find the gameplay loop basic and occasionally demanding in later stages, the continual updates and integration of various mechanics result in a dynamic, satisfying, and chill-strategy experience despite limited visual spectacle.

    • “Rather than focusing exclusively on large-scale battles, Rising Army emphasizes the many responsibilities involved in maintaining a capable military force, creating a gameplay loop where preparation is often just as important as combat itself.”
    • “The game's greatest achievement is how successfully it integrates its various mechanics into a unified progression system.”
    • “From the demo to today, you can clearly see the developer’s dedication: various interactions have been added in different scenarios (camp – exploration – battle), making the gameplay more dynamic and fun.”
    • “Certain mechanics occasionally reveal the limitations of an independent production, and balancing multiple responsibilities can become demanding during later stages of the campaign.”
    • “Buy with extreme prejudice, and do not expect anything you will run into to be fixed, as we certainly know they have been told many, many times about game-breaking issues with overall core mechanics from others.”
    • “It is ok I suppose, but this saving mechanic is broken.”

  • graphics
