The story is completely ridiculous in a good way, filled with unusual creatures, wacky humour and jokey one-liners.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
this game really really shines in its pvp. pvp is the best place to try out the game mechanics, and strategies of this game. the fact that both teams will be the same level, and same slot worth of units. you can't just bring in whatever and have it work all the time, and you can't just go to your high levels when you struggle. it's about just actual teamcomp and positioning if you want to do well.
