EDIT: 2 years later and many DLC.

Game is good, plays like I wanted it to back when it first came out, and the DLC and FreeLC has fleshed out the rosters enough they no longer feel empty placeholders.


Previous review, 2022:
Whilst this game is quite enjoyable, after playing for 60 hours it becomes apparent that it feels half filled.

Factions feel glass half full regarding unit rosters - especially the demon factions where it feels very unfleshed out regarding unit rosters.

Adding in the optimisation issues, issues with window mode alignment (having had to go in manually and change x/y pos), and massive frame rate drops for no reason, I would suggest people looking to buy this game give them 6 months. Play TWW2 for your itch scratch until this game is sorted out, has Mortal Empires to give it enough content, and for the issues to hopefully be patched.

Also why the hell is blood still not in the core game? We have literally blood for the blood god and... no blood.
