The story aspect of the game receives mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the engaging storytelling and clever historical references, others criticize the mission structure as repetitive and lacking control, particularly highlighting a frustratingly difficult mission in the alternate timeline. Overall, the narrative seems to have potential, but its execution in gameplay leaves some players wanting more.
- “The storytelling is really great and the subtle references to historical events in the dialogue were hilarious.”
- “So far, I have completed the first mission of the campaign and am loving it.”
- “There's so much content there to create, as the 20 missions in Blitzkrieg are just barely touching the surface.”
- “The missions and factions aren't represented properly.”
- “I've played and beaten every game in this series, and this one mission is by far the worst.”

The graphics are visually appealing but do not align with the overall quality of the game, leading to a sense of deception. While the visuals show effort, the limited resolution options and the developer's choice to prioritize superresolution settings over a broader range of resolutions have drawn criticism.
- “The visuals are stunning and truly immersive, showcasing the developers' attention to detail.”
- “The graphics are beautifully rendered, creating a vibrant and engaging world that draws you in.”
- “The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene a visual delight.”
- “The visuals are very deceptive here and the rest of the game doesn't match.”
- “While the graphics look okay, the developer weirdly decided to lock the number of resolution options you can get. If you have a modern GPU, you'll probably get a bunch of super-resolution options (to render the game at a higher resolution than your monitor), and these are the only options that appear, because the developer decided there's no need for you to scroll through the resolutions available to you.”
- “I am not here to comment on the graphics, even though it looks like it took them a lot of effort to work on it.”
