Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Being a Musou game, it is extremely grindy and only appeals to a niche target audience, but to that audience, it does deliver most superbly.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game is around 50-60 FPS on my GTX 960 / i5 3470 and looks at least as good as the PS4 version with mid details (playing at lower details seems to prevent crashes, at least it makes them less frequent).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a huge unit roster to choose from, and you can even switch between units on the fly in battle.
