Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While it has similarities to AW, it's also very distinct in many ways, from the capture mechanics, to the way commanders and grooves work, to how critical hits impact tactics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I just can't find many games with a battle system like this (Fire Emblem comes close but it's not close enough!!!) Beautiful art and animations, a lovely story too, and the intro cinematic is incredible.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Along with a great group of volunteer staff, we've run competitive events for over 3 years, and I think this PvP setting is where the game thrives.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All of that comes together with a beautiful pixel-art style that reminds me of old-school strategy games, and a very upbeat, catchy soundtrack that fits perfectly.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The co-op campaign is non-linear compared to the SP campaign and honestly a lot more fun despite having like a third of SP's total missions.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Naval combat is rebalanced with a multi-function alternate infantry and cheaper costs across the board, a real feather in the cap for WG.
