Pros:
A-Simple Tactical turn based game with trailed storytelling elements, very easy to grasp
B-It is a combination of elements from other games, Heroes of Might and Magic, Crusaders, King's Bounty, Medevil and with its own look and feel. As if someone played all of those and plucked certain aspects to create the best result.
C-Battle System is simple and direct
D-Equiping and Leveling of characters with direct task puzzle solving quests
E-Wonderful screen shots and artwork, Night and Day timeframes.
Cons:
A-This game can use a vast upgrade and more action packed oriented screens and flash action. This makes the combat stiff and one view point instead of various action sequences that make you part of the action like an Xcom 2. Tolerable
B-Saves have to be specific and like HOM&M equipping army members do not carry over. Each scenario resets
C-Mercenaries can drain your funds so quickly that your limited in quantity and time.
D-No voice storytelling can tire you with a lot of reading. You can miss details if you skip and it hurts its dramatic storytelling deliveries. However, a great game to inspire reading.

Final Take: I would do three things. 1. Get it on sale 2. See Videos of gameplay in workshop to get a full feel if its for you
3. If you don't like classic role playing then this is probably not for you. Overall alot to like and I can see if they upgrade the engine and add more depth in storytelling, flashes, and action this game expanding on its humble beginnings.
LoE 2 if ever made will have a lot of upgrades to build on. It is a nice game for your collection if you love the combination of games I mentioned above. It will challenge you and once familiar with the game mechanics keep you invested.
My grade 3 of 5 stars
