Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is fun and adds replayability as well as adds a sense of progression that comes naturally instead of "you've completed mission 3 so now you have paratroopers." The battles can be pretty intense and have multiple ways to approach the objectives.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Replayability is a major strength, with numerous campaigns, customizable difficulty settings, and a rich selection of scenarios to explore.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And as you play, you follow the story of the campaign you are playing, so it is also somewhat educational, something that is missing from a lot of games nowadays.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like that you can't just roll over units, but the combat display should show a more accurate attack prediction.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics effectively convey the setting without standing out, earning a 7/10.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Bought the pacific campaign expecting that, but since the base game was free don't see it a loss as playing the scenarios in it were good preparation for multiplayer.
