What players say
Great game, had a lot of fun with this one as I'm an avid fan of turn based games, some compare it to Battlechasers and while I agree it's similar it stands it's own ground. Glad the bugs where fixed on this one as I read there where a lot of them. 7/10, could use a longer more fleshed out story and the dlcs are not worth it. Also no second part wtf.
