A good story, excellent level design, excellent combat. I played on the second-to-highest difficulty and found it reasonable - story mode should be a breeze. The primary downside are the inconsistent and frustrating controls, which often do different things based on context and character facing.

80+ hours in now. Without a doubt the best tactical / operational Civil War game I've ever played, and it's still Early Access. The Campaign mode is a blast - you get to grow and develop your army the way you want. Developers are responsive and making good improvements to the game. If you like the Civil War or Total War-type games and want more depth, this is the game for you.

Some heads-up on Early Access - there's a game freeze bug that happens rarely, the devs have made a couple of hotfixes to help and are still working on it. They are still working on balance, and the AI scaling can sometimes be excessive and overwhelming. The help information is still pretty barebones, so it can be hard to figure out some important information sometimes.
