On top of that- the fact that this type of game has a narrative and story is actually incredible.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

3 levels of difficult from easy to hard, an awesome and detailed tutorial, a campaign and a sandbox, unique battlefields with resources to gather and natural obstacles to use in advantage to fight the enemies.

The graphics and sound are creative and great in terms of representation of game objects.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
Addressing the voice acting and audio- I love the no-holds-barred attitude the developers used when building this thing.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
4 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
I find that I am able to jump in and have fun with the lower difficulty items quite easily, and also am challenged with the ever increasing and ramping difficulty-based objectives in a way that is constantly pushing me to get just a tiny bit better.
