Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
During cutscenes or zoom-in, you can see a lot of detail and just how much love end effort went into the characters, while from standard gameplay perspective, there is a lot of fine ‘you would notice if this wasn’t here’ going on.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
At the same time, it tries to modernize that formula by shifting the focus away from purely competitive play and toward teamwork, positioning itself as a “co-op RTS” where success depends on coordination rather than individual mastery.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Very impactful sound design, suited for what it’s been built to do: convey heat of battle, magic explosions, divine healing, you name it, they got it.
