An incredible strategy game that truly hooked me from the start. Even in early access you can see and feel that the team had a lot of commitment to make the game stand out. The mix of turn-based kingdom management and real-time battles are an interesting take on the genre. The Art Nouveau-inspired visuals are stunning, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the fantasy setting. Great narrative, interestingg factions and each faction offers unique gameplay experiences. A plus: Developers are actively engaging with the community. Highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates games that were made with love <3

Very good potential but this is basically them selling the demo to me for $60. There's so much wrong here and so much right. I hope I can come back to this in a year and recommend this game to you but it's way too rough right now for the price they're asking. Although I am optimistic that if this game gets some more love and care it's going to be genre defining. It feels very inspired.

So this is a difficult game to give a negative review on because I actually enjoy the concepts and the game play, which seems like a blend of classic RTS games with resource management similar to 4K strategy, but in a more toned-down version that isn't as realistic or confusing, more palpable and easier to understand straight out of the tutorial which is more my style.

The game is in Early Access, so it is not complete; you cannot continue the main campaign in Single Player once you finish what is currently available, and you will primarily compete against other players in the multiplayer game mode. But I think that's an issue for someone like me; I would much rather be more interested in appreciating the lovely music and narrative story telling of the main campaign mode just like I have always enjoyed with games like Age of Empires or Strong Hold or even StarCraft, which I find calming and much more enjoyable than the heated competitive side of it all.

I briefly played Multiplayer and really didn't like it because of the civilizations, I believe it was The Old Ones and another, which seemed far too powerful, especially with those enormous Kaiju units. Essentially, it's an Auto-Battler in which you buy units for a specific hero at locations that you build up over time, unlocking better units and upgrades and taking them into battle against others across the board. You then build armies and fortifications to defend your kingdom with a few limited cards that you earn by leveling up through conquests to help you in your battles against your opponents, which is rather trivial and doesn't feel fun because you just kill units; it would be nice to have special events that are extremely difficult and possibly alert everyone. Each unit possesses its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Some are highly powerful and tanky, while others are easily defeated by a flying unit that can be transferred onto the opponent's back line to heal or call units, among other things. The majority of it feels like a waste of time because if you fail the combat and know you did, you must wait for your unit to die or the retreat command card to come off cooldown before utilizing it. When you die, you can't really do anything except wait for the hero to respawn at the capital, which could take 2-3 turns, and you're essentially stuck there waiting and bored.

As it stands, this feels like it would have had a considerably greater impact if it was released as a SteamNext Fest Demo. While I received a review copy and did not pay for it, I do not believe this is worth anywhere near the amount they are currently asking for, which is why I believe they jumped the wagon by releasing it as Early Access. You can't even burn out since it's not finished. You'll have about 5 hours tops before you get bored. Wait around a year before purchasing this game, as many other Early Access games or games are always released earlier than they should have been.
