What players say
This game is not fun. It's irritating, tedious and old or something. And I'm a huge fan of RPG elements with the whole 4x4 mechanics. I've played Civilization, Frostpunk, Endless Legend and others before this. And this is just not fun. Curious but not fun. 1. Stats are everywhere. The battling is awful. I usually just auto resolve and win. Never won any divine or cosmic tree stories because they'd be way too crazy...
