Why players love itThings to know
75% of themes are praise17% are divided8% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fair for the content; it took me around 14 hours to get 100% in the base game and the skirmish/survival modes add some replayability.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, if you loved the main story is a must to buy, it adds like 10h of gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite of the mentioned fact, the music in conjunction with the graphics will make the game pace very smoothly.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's also a mix of spells, magic, troops, and weapons, giving you a wide range of choices on how to complete a specific level—whether to destroy the castle or capture the enemy flag, it's up to you in many levels.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Complex in its own right, but beatable your first time through even when playing only on 'hard' difficulty as I did.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not too terribly good replayability, but the game looks great and is fairly fun in coop.
