They didn't add any unnecessary textures, or redesigned parts of the game to make it likable for the new audience, they have focused on making the pre-existing graphics more pixelated, resulting in a game generally looking better.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game of my childhood and still fun to play, with good soundtrack and a bit of nostalgia.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is probably a perfect game for multiplayer play, with just the right mix different elements; and, it's turn-based, which makes it more laid-back than RTS games are.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, the game doesn’t pull any punches, some levels are genuinely tough and will require you to restart several times and adapt your strategy on the fly, but everything else: the factions, the maps, the combat system, the magic is still there.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have the fondest memories of playing this with friends as well, coop against the enemies.
