“This is good! The walls and towers now have a purpose, the military is flatter, but at the same time it is more challenging than killing everything with two squads of archers. I like all the changes, to be honest. I haven't encountered any technical issues in the last 20 hours…”

“I remember when first brought out, so glad they revamped, was a no brainer as I enjoyed so much before. Great game to get your grey matter working”

“Buy only if you're fine with installing community patches as mods. Otherwise you'll run into countless problems — yes, even game-breaking ones. Feels like the developer took our money and then just vanished. Disappointingly little post-launch support.”
