Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I dont normally play games like this often but after putting 8 hours into the demo i figured maybe this would be a game for me and it is gameplay wise but after hour 10 or so i started getting put up against cities that felt like they had choices wildly superior to mine.

Multiplayer

Addictive little Auto Battler with both singleplayer and PVP modes.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Everything from the art, interface, stability, and balance improved dramatically during the demo phase and I'm really enjoying the new units so far in early access and want to check out the Solo content.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style has no great consistency, and the game seems to be littered with WIP stand-in art that looks like a 3rd grader drew it on a time limit.
