What players say
Players praise the developer support and frequent updates, but opinions split on difficulty and design. Many say micromanagement is overwhelming, walls feel weak despite high cost, and performance stutters worsen over time. Others enjoy the challenge and compare it to Stronghold or They Are Billions.
