gameplay3 negative mentions
  • The game offers a fun blend of 4X strategy and magic mechanics, reminiscent of both Civilization and Dominions, with engaging tactical battles and a variety of magic paths.
  • Gameplay is smooth and intuitive, with an easy-to-navigate UI that allows for efficient empire management and high replayability due to procedural maps and different faction rules.
  • The auto-battler feature adds a unique dynamic to combat, allowing players to pre-buff units and manage large armies without getting bogged down in micromanagement.
  • The game suffers from slow pacing, with many turns spent simply clicking 'end turn' and a lack of meaningful engagement during early gameplay.
  • There is no clear indication of army strengths before combat, leading to potentially frustrating losses after investing significant time in building armies.
  • The game lacks a tutorial, which can make it difficult for new players to understand its mechanics and systems, resulting in a steep learning curve.
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a blend of civ-style 4X mechanics and simplified dominions-like features, offering smooth and engaging experiences with easy navigation. While it lacks a narrative and depth found in other titles, its straightforward mechanics and charming units provide a refreshing change for fans of the genre. However, some players find that certain elements, like random monster lairs, can lead to a turtling strategy that slows down overall gameplay.

    • “Great 4X with smooth gameplay and an easy to navigate UI.”
    • “Easy to play, smooth gameplay, charming and fun units engage your imagination.”
    • “There's no story or quests to follow here, it's pure gameplay and all information provided is informative and factual.”
    • “Random monster lairs seem interesting as an idea, but they force players into a turtling strategy while not actively endangering them - simply bogging down gameplay as you have to contend with cities never being destroyed, but their growth being slowed down.”
    • “I did not engage with this mechanic at all, because the cost and difficulty of raising a navy strong enough to begin creeping.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as simple and functional, giving it a board game feel that some players appreciate. While the user interface and overall visual quality may not match those of more polished titles, the new map terrain graphics and variety have been noted as significant improvements. Overall, the graphics may not be a standout feature, but they do not detract from the enjoyment of the gameplay for fans of traditional 4X titles.

    • “The basic graphics are actually a plus in my opinion.”
    • “But for me, the big improvement is the map; the new map terrain graphics, variety, and map generation are a huge step in the right direction.”
    • “While it is true that both the UI and the graphics aren't as good as most games, it's still a fun game.”
    • “The battle system is a bit like Dominions, but even less graphical, if that's possible.”
    • “Simple graphics give it a board game feel.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game boasts high replayability due to its procedural maps and unique faction rules, making each playthrough distinct. While currently single-player, it appeals to fans of the battle system in similar titles and offers additional variety through different fantasy races.

    • “It's currently only single-player but has extremely high replayability, so anyone who likes the battle system of Dominions or is looking for a fresh take on 4X, I highly recommend this game.”
    • “Replayability seems quite high with procedural maps and different rules for each faction.”
    • “Playing as goblins, elves, or other fantasy races would add even more replayability.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, indicating that the process of leveling up or acquiring resources can feel monotonous and time-consuming.

    • “Yes, it is tedious to get there!”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive.”
    • “I find the grind to be a major chore rather than fun.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a traditional narrative or quests, focusing instead on pure gameplay with only factual and informative content provided.

    • “There's no story or quests to follow here; it's pure gameplay, and all information provided is informative and factual.”
