« Jeu correcte manque de rejouabilité focus de L'IA sur le joueur et manque de contenue (Un mode de jeu infinie, ou on doit détruire les autres régent) »👎 anonymous review · 6 h played« I liked the settings and how it differs from the likes of it. But abandonement after a couple of months of release? Yeah, no. »👎 anonymous review · 14 h played« I dont know what game these reviewers are playing but this is not it. You spend more than half your time doing nothing except wating for your legion to respawn and gather enough tribute to do anything. »👎 anonymous review · 7 h played« It is extremely random for a strategy game. Plus it has very limited action points per turn (two by default) and you need an cation point for every sneeze, UI is overcomplicated. »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« This game is boring AF. They say it shines when played in multiplayer, but since I do not...it is as fun as listening to a chess match over the radio. »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« RP your fav demon and reveal your best friends what pervert you are... with strategy of course ! »👍 anonymous review · 228 h played
