This game had the potential to be a spiritual successor to DoW2, but many of its mechanics are poor or just half-baked. Unit’s don’t attack automatically upon seeing an enemy. No level progression for hero units. No stats shown expect for a health bar. And in the campaign you don’t pick a faction & stay with them, you swap between factions.

The building mechanics are also weird, it wants to be a unit focused but places importance on buildings. Without them, you loose resources you’ll need to succeed, and only one has any defensive ability. It comes off as counter intuitive and trying to do multiple things but not fully committing.

It’s not terrible, and a good update could fix all my issues. But until then I’m not picking it back up.
