What players say

Players appreciate the ambition and the mix of Total War, Company of Heroes, and city building, but many say the real-time combat is misleading, it uses grid-based movement and delayed damage, more like an auto-chess than an RTS. Reviews praise the Chinese theater setting and unit customization, while criticizing poor UI, incomplete translation, and bugs. Some call the development abandoned.
