It is essentially an excellent "board game" made into a video game, with great music and sound effects, "16-bit era" graphics, with a theme of "giant monsters / giant robots" fighting large scale battles.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

I like the "drybushed" story we get dabbed on (though I’m unsure of the time-warp premise).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The visuals and UI are both solid at communicating info while looking pleasing to the eye and the music, while quite limited, feels fitting without taking up too much of my headspace while trying to formulate a plan.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Works flawlessly on the Steam Deck and I'd say controller layout is a smoother way to play than PC.
