Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The amount of addictional mechanics was a bit overwhelming at first but in the end it grew on me.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the battle system, it seems to make more sense to me, and have more basic logic than the Warhammer system, specifically focusing on the core aspects we know: melee infantry, spears, archers and/or slingers, skirmishers/javelins, and chariots which function as cavalry.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some of the best graphics in the series, the studio definitely knows what they're doing graphically wise.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So campaign wise, it is very fleshed out, trade actually becomes NECESSARY at the early and mid game in order to get what you want in terms of buildings or maintain an army you normally couldn't with your own infrastructure.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While I really appreciate you adding Chinese voice acting for the game, for Chinese players who love the Assyrian Empire, it is extremely frustrating that our favorite faction is the only one without Chinese voice‐overs...
