played the demo, fucking loved it. bought the physical edition for 50$, fucking love it. i just beat the game right now, and there was ONE FUCKING UNIT LEFT, STANDING ON A HILL OF BLOOD AND CORPSES, and i dont mean a whole single team, nah the last single commander. now thats a memory to be treasured. moments where im cornered by barbarians enhance that feeling of pure and visceral war. this game is so good oh my god (buy it for 15$ tho its not worth 50$)
Consider buying if it's on sale for <$5. Great premise and idea but heavily flawed.
• Very little content, you've seen basically everything after a few runs—you don't even have to get far in the game to see all the content.
• Randomly generated levels are decent but limited, with pretty much all levels being just a square with terrain raised or lowered in some spots. Occasionally a more unique level will be generated though, so it's not too bad.
• NO mod support at all! This hurts the game a lot due to just how little content there is.
• The second (and, I believe, last) tier of enemies you encounter every run are very frustrating to fight against.

the epitome of "barebones, but fun," since most of the game is a rock-paper-scissors system with hard counters. it's like a couple steps above an idle game, but its not bad at all! i like setting landmines down and watching platoons of vikings eat shit and die
the only real shakeups usually happen if i'm playing on a flat island, i get attacked on three or more fronts, or if there are elite archers (seriously i hate those guys)

Very bare-bones and repetitive, and getting the last two achievements is an absolute slog. The first one is for killing 15,000 enemies, and after 15 hours, I've only gotten halfway. The other is just extremely difficult, with a lot of luck factors involved. It's an interesting idea and looks pretty, but there's no reason to play it again after beating it once.
