Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What initially appears to be a simple low-budget combat game quickly reveals a satisfying gameplay loop built around commanding troops directly from the front lines.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a really fun game and it has a lot going for it, however one thing I feel would be amazing would be a coop mode of some sort, where you gather your armies against other AI controlled enemies.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Instead of focusing on deep military simulation or historically accurate realism, the game emphasizes large-scale combat, accessible squad management, and chaotic battles filled with humor and constant movement.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, the game embraces a colorful and exaggerated art style that matches its gameplay perfectly.
