Pretty good, overall. I found the combat more approachable than I have ever found a CPRG, and the world was... I mean, it was Fantasy Land but I liked it anyway! I don't think there's much that's special about it, but it's done well at least.

The Stronghold mechanic was great, lot of fun. Got to taste the flavor of a basebuilding game without having to do much about it, and I liked how the beef with Lord Gothbin was a fun way to keep it tied into the rest of the game world.

The story was sort of... IDK, flat? I was surprised when I hit the end of it. My first reaction was just, "That was it?" and that impression has never really left me. In total, it amounts to seeing some guy in passing, following him to a city, and then following him to another town and fighting him. There isn't much more to it, and it never really feels like there's much by way of stakes.
