Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
Gamers raised on fully-3D games may not like the graphics, but for what it is and what it should be compared to I liked it's simple and effective style; the terrain and units were easy to discern and therefore orient yourself on the ground and to the enemy.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
-LOS mechanic which is fair, if infantry, Fixed AT are in buildings or bushes they are invisible until they fire repeatedly or are spotted by other infantry.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
There are even some of the nuances of the game's systems that I still don't fully understand after quite a bit of play, but, if anything, that slight vagueness adds to the organic feel of the combat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
In other words it's easy to learn how to play the game since it only requires the use of the mouse but there are loads of variables in game that make it hard to effective right off the bat (which occurs at realistic difficult, it is definately the difficulty setting you want to stick to)
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
8 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
-Perfect for the busy individual with its server based turn system in multiplayer
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
The interface is easy to learn and you spend all your time playing the war game, not working out the controls.
