The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with players noting significant gaps and repetitive gameplay that detracts from the overall experience. Many users express frustration over the unclear mission objectives and the tedious nature of completing tasks, which can lead to boredom. Suggestions for improvement include adding a compelling storyline, more diverse maps, and reducing paywalls to enhance player engagement.
“Add a good storyline, a lot more maps, and nix pay to win and this could be a great game.”
“I've played the tutorial and 2 missions, so far so good.”
“Nice gameplay after the 1st mission.”
“Unfortunately, there are a few holes: no story, repeating the map over and over, oddly placed paywalls, and a few UI problems.”
“Gameplay was basic but solid; little carryover between missions makes each boring start hardly worthwhile.”
“I love the game, but when you finish capturing the towns and castles of enemies, the last mission won't finish. I thought capturing the mainlands was the quest, but instead, it means capturing every block. This makes the game superbly boring.”
