What players say

89% of 21,709 reviews are positive · 91% of 183 in the last 30 days

Players praise the updated visuals, familiar RTS systems, varied pantheons, campaigns, and co-op Arena mode. The most common recent complaint concerns DLC practices, especially putting blood and corpse effects in a paid expansion pass and confusion over Premium Edition coverage. Some experienced players also report buggy updates, crashes, and unfair higher-difficulty AI behavior.
