This is one of the most feature-filled games that's ever blessed mankind. I'm not comparing it to anything else because its a unique experience. The scale of the game is almost infinite in terms of what your responsibilities and strategies are.
You first start worrying about money and getting some troops together, then start worrying about influence, then you start worrying about saving a faction you chose to side with, then you start worrying about getting fiefs, then you start worrying about helping take over enemy nation land, then you worry about taking over the entire world. It just keeps climbing and this is all still in early access.
You start out with a few goons hunting down looters chucking rocks at you, to leading 1000 man armies comprised of a dozen clans in sieges against nations capital cities. There's an appreciable amount of depth to each mechanic as the game stands already, I can't wait for what other features and expansions come over the years.
If you're a fan of multiplayer, the new captains mode multiplayer is super cool. It's a 6v6 where you work out a composition with your team and you lead a small group 10-20 AI each against the enemies. Positioning and tactics goes a long way and its a mode that focuses more on that than individual pvp fighting mechanics.
