Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
There's easily a good 15-20 hours of gameplay here, if you play on the hard difficulty to complete all 8 campaigns, and though there's some uneven difficulty spikes, it all leads up to and culminates in a great final campaign and great final mission in particular, which probably took me over an hour in itself as I kept dying to the relentless AI.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign is prety decent with enough missions to occupy you from 15h to 40h, depending on your pace and the difficulty you choose, and a good display of the variety you can incorporate in the game with all the special rules you can select and combine.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
I'm not the best with "puzzle" games, but the tutorial was good enough so that I was able to figure out things and play on the higher difficulty levels (where I had some trial and error, but I like challenges).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
You can get into real board game mood if you set up a voice chat and play against your friends with Steams Remote Play Together.
