The story aspect of the game is characterized by a challenging tutorial campaign that introduces players to combat mechanics without sufficient guidance, leading to frustration. Players face time constraints and must strategize effectively to complete missions, with the option to earn rewards and bonuses through exploration. However, the overall narrative experience is marred by repetitive gameplay and a lack of complexity, which diminishes engagement over time.
- “There are a few of the campaign missions where I had to restart because I didn't take the right strategy, so there is a small degree of challenge.”
- “There's other stuff like policies you get for completing certain missions, where you get to choose from two different rewards, unique buildings for your cities, units, etc. Exploring the map, you can find different bonuses or victory conditions (capture points basically that you have to hold).”
- “After blindly slogging through the first two missions of the tutorial campaign, the third throws combat at you with no explanation of how combat works.”
- “The game seems to be under-complex, which means that the individual missions can be completed in a fairly short time, but the gameplay also quickly becomes repetitive.”
- “A save function seems to be missing, so you can't pause a mission.”
