Fun scenarios on fun (and pretty) maps, interesting upgrade trees, pretty art, fully voice-acted story.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the view-range mechanic... it never really was a problem once you learned to post your scouts ahead of the main force.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is super fun, the Warhammer 40K vibe is spot on, and the missions never got boring.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are look good, fairly good voice acting, somewhat interesting troops and armor units, decent strategy game mechanics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's bare-bones... not much in the way of cut-scenes, but the voice acting in-game is competent, and the audio is suitably thumpy and zappy.
