stability1 negative mentions
  • Engaging military management with strategic planning that rewards long-term thinking and preparation.
  • Charming, cartoony art style with humorous and customizable soldiers that add personality and emotional attachment.
  • Runs well on low-end systems and offers a chill, approachable gameplay loop suitable for casual and strategy players alike.
  • Limited game content and short campaign length with recycled quests and little replayability.
  • Numerous bugs and technical issues including crashes, save/load problems, and unbalanced or illogical enemy encounters.
  • Lack of depth in certain mechanics such as leveling, equipment differences, and map variety leading to repetitive gameplay.

  • story

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

    The story is fairly minimal and repetitive, with only a handful of quests that often share the same objective despite different descriptions. However, mission completion contributes to army reputation and progression, adding some strategic depth. Recent updates have introduced new quest types and challenges, enhancing variety and planning requirements, though narrative content remains limited overall.

    • “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: many more elements were brought in, making it not as easy anymore to just speedrun within an hour for king's favor; you have to chase your quests more and plan your fights more.”
    • “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 and descriptions, but whatever quest you take, there is only one condition to finish it.”
    • “Even if the quest says you have to retrieve a stolen stallion or rescue someone, it does not matter.”

    The gameplay of Rising Army is praised for its well-designed combat mechanics and integrated progression system that balance preparation with battle, creating a satisfying and emotionally engaging experience. While some find the gameplay loop basic and occasionally demanding, the developer's ongoing improvements add variety and depth, making it a compelling "chill-strategy" despite minor technical issues and limited map/city mechanics.

    • “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.”
