    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally considered bland and unengaging, failing to enhance the gameplay experience, even during intense combat scenes. Reviewers feel that the soundtrack does not contribute positively to the overall atmosphere.

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is criticized for a clunky user interface, unresponsive units that can lead to tactical failures, and random performance dips. Additionally, players note that the game feels incomplete and still suffers from bugs despite being labeled as a "full release."

    • “The UI is clunky, the units don't always listen to commands, which can cause you to lose engagements. Sometimes the units just straight up ignore the enemy that is attacking them, causing needless losses. The translation needs polish, and the performance dips at random intervals. The story is rather generic in my opinion, but that falls down to taste, and the game just feels empty after a few missions.”
    • “Unfortunately, the 'full release' of the game is still buggy and has performance issues.”
