Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
12 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
Etherlords is a strategy defense combined with a neat and challenging card game combat hailing from Nival Interactive, a small Russian development team that will take on the formidable feat of developing Heroes of Might and Magic V, eventually later on.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
11 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
This transition between exploration and dueling is what defines the experience, creating a loop where preparation directly impacts performance.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
Also it's an older game so don't expect super graphics, but I will say the number of different monsters is cool and they look decent.
