I think this is just a fantastic, fun little strategy game. I think it's a really exceptional twist and spin on the nature of things like Civ or Total War. The aesthetic is great, art is gorgeous. The usage of the little cards and rituals and ploys feels like one of the best boardgame style mechanic implementations in a video game I've ever experienced. I like how structured the combat is and how most of the game is spent maneuvering all about the other facets of gameplay aside from combat.

It's just really neat. Very inventive. It feels nothing like other strategy games, while still feeling like a very interesting strategy game in its own right. I just think the whole thing is very creative, very unique and still quite fun. I think ultimately when you do get good at the game, which is not easy!, the AI gets too simple to beat. After a little it's just not very hard anymore and can feel samey. So unless you have friends for multiplayer it's just gonna lack the same replayability as something like Civ or Crusader Kings or Total War. But it's still very neat, and very worth your time.
