What players say
79% of 25,010 reviews are positive · 58% of 150 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.
