    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness and engaging mechanics, offering a fun and varied experience that can occupy players for several hours. However, the progression system is criticized for being overly grindy and making the game too easy once players become familiar with the mechanics. Overall, players express a desire for more content and updates to enhance the gameplay experience further.

    • “Gameplay-wise, it runs smoothly and quickly.”
    • “The core gameplay is fun and varied enough to occupy you for a few hours, and the presentation has had a lot of care given to it.”
    • “I have been playing for 2.3 hours so far; the gameplay is super fun and simple to play, but you will need a couple of hours to master the mechanics, such as the stratagems and flanking.”
    • “The game has an incredibly grindy mobile-esque progression system which makes the game way too easy once you're familiar with the mechanics and have decently progressed through the upgrade trees.”
    • “Take away armor mechanics because it's not '83 and everybody has powerful enough equipment.”
    • “I would like this game to expand (more maps, scenarios, and maybe a campaign) and it's no problem for me to pay some more because core gameplay is solid.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game offers a variety of mission types, including evacuation and defense scenarios, but some players find the narrative unclear, particularly regarding kill counts across missions. There is a desire for a more structured campaign mode featuring boss battles against notable figures, which could enhance the overall storytelling experience. Overall, while the missions provide engaging gameplay, the coherence of the story leaves room for improvement.

    • “The mission can be won if we capture all 6 of the outposts, for which we gain glory as well.”
    • “More types of missions: evacuation, protect a VIP, destroy a key enemy base, stand ground and defend for a number of turns, etc.”
    • “Perhaps a campaign mode with a few boss fights in some missions (who wouldn't want to take out the likes of Kadyrov, Prigozhin, or Surovikin in an intense boss battle).”
    • “Story-wise, you're getting what you paid for.”
    • “I don't understand how I must kill 1000 orcs - is it in one mission or in total?”
    • “When I start a new mission, there is always 0 of 1000 kills, but when I end a mission, there is a screen with a sweating dictator and a list of all the kills from all the missions, several hundreds currently.”
  • grinding
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a grind-heavy progression system reminiscent of mobile games, where players repeatedly grind for points to upgrade their army, leading to a sense of ease once familiar with the mechanics. While the grinding can be tedious and may detract from the overall experience, many players still find enjoyment in the strategy elements and the incremental sense of achievement.

    • “The game has an incredibly grindy mobile-esque progression system which makes the game way too easy once you're familiar with the mechanics and have decently progressed through the upgrade trees.”
    • “It feels more like repeating grinding to get points so you can upgrade your army.”
    • “Very fun little strategy game, though currently unit upgrades feel a little grindy.”
