Despite the simple graphics, there is enough detail to support your imagination.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each unit has a unique niche (pikemen are the best armored and very resistant to arrows, but are slow as $*%! and don't do as much damage as other melee units) Also, the unit lines are awesomely hammy and memorable.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Levels of difficulty, variations of weather, other elements add to the game play levels of complexity that raise this game to one that transcends its basic simple design.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art direction leans heavily into the medieval theme, from the parchment-style menus to the peasant chatter and environmental sound effects.
