The gameplay is currently hindered by unfinished elements typical of a prerelease title, including incomplete graphics, sounds, and missing features like unit upgrades and additional maps. Reviewers express frustration over the limited mechanics and layout, suggesting that significant improvements are needed, especially considering the reliance on DLCs for enhanced content.
- “Elements of the game are obviously unfinished, such as the graphics and sounds, UI options and icons. Some gameplay elements are missing, such as the ability to upgrade units, although unit descriptions allude to that functionality. Alternate maps and commanders are also missing for the time being.”
- “The game mechanics need fixing, and the layout of the game requires a full makeover. There is so much that could have been done to make this game better, but it feels like you can't really do much unless you buy the DLCs, which is outrageous considering there is little to nothing within the game itself, even with the two DLCs currently available.”
