Depends, if you like Fortress defense and assault in case defense fails, it's Fun if you don't like it, it's probably not for you

Well it's not that hard, got to stage 10 in a few hours, only lost 1-2 times, just focus the seige beasts, fire at the explosive parts and control them both, and most of the times they won't even get past the walls and you'll just have to kill the warchieves outside the fortress. :D

How many defence missions are there before you get the real ending?

I cleared the whole game after 46 hours. After side quests. Collectibles are gonna come later because I'm lazy.

That's how I would treat it if you don't want to spoil the fun of the game for yourself. Personally, I'm burn out on siege mode until they add more to the game to keep it interesting.

It gets tedious but the fortress assaults are easy enough to win if you know what you're doing.

I completed the game right on 40hours, Act 4 taking 8-10hrs.

Um, I saw the ending cutscene as just a bonus. The fun was actually defending and taking the forts. If you don't do Shadow Wars with the mindset of "UGH I JUST WANNA SEE THE ENDING!! I ONLY BRANDED 2 CAPTAINZ! THIS IS TAKING FOREVER!!" then you will do just fine just playing the game till it happens.

"Guys I really don't want to play this game because it might be what they said the game would be..." The ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with you?

First of all I absolutely love this game and love every minute of playing it but with that said doing 20 fort defence missions with low level captains does not sound fun to me

20 !?! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
No thanks i got my fare share with the 5 i did.
Fort sieges are boring as ♥♥♥♥ A,B,C kill Overlord same over and over.
There not dynamic at all like promised no random events happen nothing.
I really cant see myself do that another 20 times ♥♥♥♥ that.

most of the reviewers use mt to buy their orcs, and they rush in the game by powerplay, which could end up being grindy since its just continuously Fortress defense and assault over and over again.


act 4 is the best time to level up and gain legendary gears as there are tons of legendary orcs to kil.

It will become quite grindy if you try to power play all 10 stages in one go,.

For me, I just do 1 or 2 stage per day, until i reach stage 10. and it was quite fun.

It is litterlly the best way to test how strong your fortress is.

I didnt even need to fight the first few stages. I just let my orc do their thing and revive them when they need,.

Yeah, it was actually fun to have them get through my walls. They never did that in the campaign. But during the Shadow Wars, I actually had to fight hard to protect the fortresses, it was a nice change of pace.
