Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
i really, really, REALLY love this game, but in its current state it is quite literally unwinnable. there's a crash that happens in the second campaign of the game when you try to select a flying unit. what's able to be completed is very fun, but you'll see those locks in the sandbox forever.
