The graphics are modern (ok it might not be top notch like in Dota2 but still it’s a great visuals to performance ratio).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
19 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
While the core mechanics have aged very well we have to admit that much water has passed under the bridge since.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
12 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
It allows you to make significant choice & consequence on the map level, and the combat instances are much better executed.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
10 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
Plays well with gamepad, and gets the core combat correctly.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
This mixed with three and four player mode (with humans or AI - Team battles), all on gamepads, makes for an excellent couch co-op game on top of the robust campaign.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
In other words, if you have someone to regularly play local (hot-seat) co-op or vs with, this game is really enjoyable.
