Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It has a few shortcomings like its lack of a story, reasonably dated graphics due to the engine and less than ideal immersion.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Looking at the "Unit Frames (Your HP, Mana and Stamina)", "Name Plates (Enemy HP)", and your "Spell Bars", I just think that they look too flat and simple, it is not deserving to be together with this amazing gameplay!
