“This game is quite boring. The game mostly plays itself, choices that I make don't seem to have any direct consequences. There are many items available to equip your troops with, but chosing one weapon over the other doesn't have any…”

“Defeated the Entire Game in 12.2 Hours Good: Graphically it looks good. Bad Its a point and click, your choices don't matter honestly. It felt like I kept doing the same things OVER and OVER again...watch my troops autofight a battle…”
