Strategic depth is non existent.
The only correct way to play seems to be to maximize ranged unit damage in the back, and maximize armored unit hp close to your ranged units.

Upgrades are 90% dmg or HP, boring
I just won all the time no contest, no strategy, no counters needed.

i played 1 hours of this game there are good and bad point for me, but the bad one just remove the fun. i will judge this game for its price i play alot of auto battle and roguelike even tho its a bad review i hope this will help make the game better so i can change my view ^^

I only play the campagne mode (roguelike) so this review is only for this mode, from what i saw there is a lot of mission but its not a mode that attracte me if you like small mission with little puzzle i think this game is worth hes price.

but to talk about the good and the bad :

++ a lot of units : there are a lots of choice for your army
+ fate systeme : the fact that if you cannot win a battle you can skip it avoid the fact where you get stuck and having mutiple life made the game easier if you missplayed
++ heros : like the unit you have a lots of heros to change how you start a run (not 3-4 more like 20 of them)
+++ Devs : to be frank i was here at the start to refund the game but i wanted to see if my probleme was the same for other player but i saw that all probleme adressed was answer by the devs and patch for some of them its why even tho i don't like making review if it can help a little bit i will make this :)

now the part that almost make me refund the game
- ennemis : fight can feel almost the same after some time (don't forget i only talk about the roguelike mode)
-- balancing : i didn't play before having the new targeting systeme but now he is there the fact you are the only one using it and the unit having no weight make some battle really easy if you see archer put your unit on focus them first and you make a straigt line to the killing them
-- event : in the rogue like gender there is often event where in some of them its more high risk high reward in other its high reward if you make the right choice sadly in this one its avoid them a all cost ... you have a normal ecounter or loose 1 life (i think there is also a better shop with more rare drop) but if you pick one with a lot of gold you take risk to go against a battle and have normal reward, and if you go against bad omen loose 1 fate you also loose 1 battle so you loose an upgarde for yours army i think more event would make the game more enjoyable
-- upgarde : i think you need more unique upgarde not a 35% damage against this but more like "armored unit gain 10% to not take damage" "ranged unit gain damage when nobody is near them" "precise unit deal more damage to unite with same keyword a them" for exemple (i didn't think a lot for the previous one i let you decide on what is better in your view) for now all upgarde is more like my stats are better to kill your unit cause i will be outnumber so i have unit with more stats
---- strategie ? : i don't know if the tactics update made the game too easy but i won the game twice and the run i started seem to go the same way you don't need a army choose your unit and go i won my first run using only light cav and the seconde using only ballista and if i had something unique to my run that alow this its would be fine but if my goal is to win the mode i just need to choose a unit pick all the upgard of this unit and you have so much stats that you don't need to have a real strat and overshadow the fact that there is a lot of unit. i don't really know how to fix that? maybe having a maximum of the same unit

sorry for the writting english is not my 1st language and even in my 1st my writting is bad :S i hope this can help this game growing in a good game at least for the roguelike mode

TLDR : you just spam a unit and win in rogue like mode , upgarde is all the same and you need to avoid event i would not advise buying it for now wait to see how the game evolve if you like roguelike

i would be happy to change my opinion in the future and if something was to badly written to understand i will be happy to explaine what i meant

Solid RTS Rogue like game. I would like to see a challenge mode to make the game a bit harder. They brought out a tactics update. The dev is responding in the forums they seem to care quite a bit which is nice to see. Support a small dev and give this one a shot!
