5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay has been criticized for its lack of engaging mechanics and insufficient instructions, leaving players confused about key features like the "siege bonus." While some mechanics are logical, others yield unintuitive results, such as cavalry being defeated by archers in melee. The gameplay loop is repetitive and simplistic, primarily involving clicking to end turns and placing units for combat without much strategic depth.
“There is also nothing resembling instructions; even after reading the 'official game guide', I only get a vague idea of the mechanics. A 'siege bonus' is mentioned exactly once without elaboration. It's apparently conditional, but I have no idea on what. The amount of damage units do to each other appears almost completely random.”
“Some of the mechanics make sense (e.g., archers are more effective on larger targets), but I've seen some completely unintuitive outcomes as well (e.g., cavalry getting wiped by archers in melee).”
“The gameplay loop is also lacking; you just click 'end turn' until your army is a nice size, then attack by placing your units, and then attacking the enemy ones that appear scattered throughout the map after you're done placing yours.”
