True, there is no narration, true it is a very simple game, true all units are not equal... Then what ? This is not a problem, this is a developer choice ! This game encourages you to make your own strategy to beat what seems to be an extreme challenge for gamers, but can be tweaked into a die and retry for beginners.A truly amazing game, didn't give it 10 just because I would have loved pikemen to be slightly stronger, but no big deal

Exactly as described by the creators and a fun little game, specially after the first 4 hours once you have some starting traits and items.I loved the game and the reason for me giving 10 is that I really don't know what more I could ask for or expect from this game. I love the battle tactics, specially when taking some risks on hard difficulty.

Lacking majorly in the narrative department, this game makes up for itself with strategic and rewarding play that can take away hours in an instant.

The game gets to the end still difficult. I like it very much that you can´t really pause the game during the combat to think what you need to do next. This sense of urgency is enhancing the experience with the game.
