What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Crossworlds enhances this foundation by bundling the base campaign with two entirely new campaigns—Orcs on the March, a remixed and more difficult version of the main story, and Champion of the Arena, a smaller-scale but combat-focused campaign with a unique structure.
They are thankfully short and, I suppose, good for a quick dose of the gameplay without getting sucked in to the main storyline.
On top of that, I'd say the game aged quite gracefully in terms of graphics thanks to its visual style (I feel like all the promotional stuff here on its Steam page doesn't do it justice, plus for some reason recently the publisher updated its banner to a much tackier one as well), and the soundtrack is quite nice too, even if most of it comes from the previous game.
I like old school games the best so I am somewhat easy to please and I usually play with the sound turned very low so I don't care about musical score or sound effects.
Still, if by any chance you want to check it out for yourself, make sure you switch to the "Orcs on the March" campaign in the main menu, it's an expanded version of the primary campaign with newly added content from Crossworlds expansion (the vanilla version of the campaign is still in the game and as a newcomer it's very easy to end up playing it instead).
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
