The game is pretty difficult with it's default settings, but there are lots of way to change the difficulty, to make it easier (or harder) if you want to.
Audio

35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That doesn’t stop me from headbanging while playing, and the music combined with the sound effects compliments the game well.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good game to relax for a while, nice graphics with a silly but entertaining and fun story, it might feel grindy at first but its worth after you unlock some items, characters (progress each one a bit) and units.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character design is excellent, each necromancer has their own unique playstyle and unit variety never gets boring.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style fits the game very well, and animations are smooth and appealing.
