What players say

91% of 4,031 reviews are positive · 88% of 25 in the last 30 days

Players praise the tactical combat, fantasy exploration, varied units and spells, and differences among the three classes. Some find the battles repetitive or too frequent and note rough edges. Most negative reviews object to a planned advertising launcher, but later reviews say that plan was withdrawn and modern PC support improved.
