What players say

80% of 21,037 reviews are positive · 76% of 80 in the last 30 days

Players praise the turn-based strategy loop, particularly map exploration, town development, and tactical battles. The dominant complaint is that this edition contains only the base Restoration of Erathia content, without the expansions or random map generator.
