Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Research tree doesn't really exist (you research spells but there lacks a clear progression path towards a research victory); the research also does not strengthen your units, only buildings do.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The reason I mention it is that I purchased it hoping to play another game just like this one (with more content, better graphics, and no memory leak), originally thinking it was by the same developers (it's not), but it hasn't been nearly as easy to pick up and play or nearly as enjoyable as this game so far.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The game offers a variety of modes including a single-player campaign, skirmishes, and multiplayer, catering to different play preferences.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The graphics, music, sounds effects, and gameplay all perfectly complement each other, and they don't get old even after hours of gameplay.
