Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Using tactical board gameplay to illustrate what a CCG's battlefield is really like in action and 3D space, while not sacrificing any essence of a full-fledged CCG, having 2 games in 1 makes for double the complexity and fun.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Just basic landscapes that do not tap on the rich visuals each faction has to offer.
