Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
As you can see in the video, the combat is also quite interesting to say the least: The interaction radius on enemy units sometimes doesn't let you cross bridges, which leads to them getting slaughtered.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are excellent for what it is, menus and between mission planning and upgrading and stuff is very well implemented.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative backdrop is straightforward but effective, providing enough motivation to frame the campaign without overwhelming players with heavy exposition.
