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 the necessity of purchasing DLCs to enhance the experience, which they feel is unjustified given the game's current offerings. Overall, significant improvements are needed in both gameplay mechanics and user interface.
- “The gameplay is engaging and offers a variety of strategies to explore, making each session feel unique and rewarding.”
- “The controls are intuitive, allowing players to easily navigate through the game and focus on strategy rather than fumbling with mechanics.”
- “The pacing of the game keeps players on their toes, with a perfect balance of challenge and accessibility that caters to both new and experienced players.”
- “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 needs 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.”
