The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who express frustration over the presence of ads in a paid app, as well as the necessity of in-app purchases to progress. Many reviewers feel that the combination of upfront payment, advertisements, and pay-to-win mechanics is exploitative and detracts from the overall experience, leading to calls for either the removal of ads or a shift to a free model. Overall, the monetization approach is viewed as a major flaw that undermines the game's value.
“I see that the developers comment every time someone complains about the in-app purchases, saying they are there to make it easier, but in some cases, they are there just to make the game winnable.”
“The in-app purchases kill it for me especially after I paid for the game.”
“It's an okay game, wish there weren't ads for a paid game -_- and the 'research and development' is useless; by the time you beat a battle on your thirtieth try, you've already blown the usable amount of points on useless stuff.”
“This is the first game I've seen where you have to pay to play, get advertisements, and have to make in-game purchases to win.”
“Ads in a paid app are seriously ridiculous.”
“The in-app purchases kill it for me, especially after I paid for the game.”

The game's story is praised for being deep and engaging, driving a challenging campaign mode that players find satisfying to complete. While many appreciate the narrative and mission design, some express frustration with the difficulty of certain missions and suggest improvements like additional skirmish maps and a difficulty setting. Overall, the story enhances the gameplay experience, making it worthwhile despite the challenges.
“The campaign mode was story-driven, challenging, and satisfying to finish.”
“Deep story, and as usual, challenging yet still beatable without in-app purchases. I hope that the campaign missions will be ported to skirmishes, so we could play them anytime without having to repeat the entire campaign.”
“With a very good story as well!”
“But there are a few things I recommend to improve, such as: needing a difficulty setting because some missions are very hard and nearly impossible to get the gold medal.”
“In the two new scenario missions, we need to be able to buy reinforcements because it's very hard.”
“A few extra turns during missions would be helpful, and adding more skirmish maps instead of the ones from the first game would be great.”

Players appreciate the replayability of the game due to the freedom to explore large maps at their own pace and experiment with different strategies, enhancing the overall experience and encouraging multiple playthroughs.
“Being able to take my time and conquer the large maps, like 'Decline of the West', at my own pace and with varying strategies is what holds the most replay value in this game.”
“The variety of choices and paths you can take in each playthrough makes every experience feel fresh and exciting.”
“With multiple endings and different character builds, I find myself coming back to explore new strategies and outcomes.”
“The game lacks significant changes in gameplay mechanics, making it feel repetitive after the first playthrough.”
