9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It implements some of the QOL from AoH3, better visuals, a more strategic combat system than AoH3, and still addictive!

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
No AI slop, but more importantly, genuinely very fun, it's basic but not too easy or too hard. no lag too.
