I am having a lot of fun in the multiplayer 1v1 mode. Despite what most people say, I think that Stormgate is much closer to the Warcraft 3 than Starcraft 2 in terms of pacing, which is definitely not a bad thing, just something to be aware of if you are looking for more high-risk-high-reward micro-intensive Starcraft-like experience. What I especially like is the bigger, more strategic role of the map in obtaining a victory and interactions with it through creep camps or destructible environment. Also, animations of the effects like explosions are really nicely made (Infernals!), light reflections looks great and modern, terrain textures looks good if you like stylized, illustration like graphics (reminds me a little bit of Dishonored); the rest of the graphics are not as bad as people says, but they require re-coloring to make some units more distinguishable it the heat of battle. Gameplay is really smooth and responsive, no latency or hiccups while playing on the ladder.

I highly recommend you giving it a shot if you are a fan of the RTS genre.

Besides that, some game elements such as interface and campaign require substantial improvement, but seeing how much progress Frost Giant developers made and how they communicate and receive feedback from players and tester, I have high hopes that they will succeed in improving the game and delivering new, fresh and engaging RTS experience.

The only thing that worries me is the monetization strategy. The current prices seem a lot too much for what there is to be offered (especially during Early Access), so if you want to buy anything don't expect much and treat it as a way to support the developers if anything else.
