Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Fort customization is a lot of fun and you have to manage what weapons, utilities, and defenses you want while also making sure you don't go over your resources (power and ammunition).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the story is given through text communications with the few characters in the game and that works well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
It also gives some hints to the next enemy, and it can help to adapt the weapons or defenses to the next level, it's a good, in-universe way to deliver that information, it feels seamless.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects really give the animations more of a weighty punch, especially for some of the larger cannons.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
5 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is very often strategic, which I appreciate a lot, it's all too easy to just add more guns to the other side but this game rarely, if ever, does that.
