Gameplay

133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoyed battling unique bosses with unique simple mechanics across the map in hidden places.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game has a lot to do, and if you like dnd combat, baldurs gate 3, final fantasy tactics, and fire emblem, then this is probably your jam.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the story being grounded in low-fantasy medieval style for the most part, but being loose enough for exceptions(you want a female mercenary? All fine. You want 70 individual mercenaries and animals in your troop? Sure. You capture an animal? It's fighting for you instantly no matter what it is. Fables and adventure tales? Real if you go looking, within reason and the worlds lore).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a fascinating hybrid of Mount & Blade and XCOM, wrapped in a beautiful art style with some truly clever world-building.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-co-op is easy to start, loading a previous save file that is co-op is easy, it even invites them on your behalf
