- “I can say that the mechanics do seem like they would support a VR experience well, so I would be interested in seeing it played that way.”
- “Siegecraft Commander rich competitive gameplay will have you hooked for hours.”
- “The mechanics make it very much a game of 3 steps forward, 2 steps back.”
- “After about 90 minutes of gameplay, the game glitched out and wouldn't let either of us make a turn.”
- “The disappointing part is that the main gameplay on top of those things is just simply not anywhere near engaging or interesting enough to make for a great experience.”
