Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
What starts as a "medieval squad leader" style of war game, and admittedly full of Asian sub-menu offers and fetch rewards, unlocks on later levels a full strategy campaign map that allows us to build and conquer in a not 3D mode as well!

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Nice gameplay, some really neat players left online in 2025, and the fun of using 3 ERAS of troops & leaders (Roman Empire, Crusade Era, and China) works very well.
