FAN ART

Art style is nice and detailed.

Enemies all have own look to them and own attacks and can easily surprise you as in think only be a couple of enemies then they appear with siege engines to destroy your base with ease.

Levels are fun to explore and have chests to find and even special things like a snowman that can give one coin to get more coins in return and camps where can recruit extra people for your base.

Buildings are nice and all have own look and all have own uses and can be upgraded changing look and what they offer.

Challenging game that keeps you on your toes as can easily get base rushed.

No story mode made me feel not connected with character or the world.

Not explained when given choices as in not say what they do you just have figure it out which can be confusing.

Very easy to fail as can lose very easy by having base destroyed when exploring if not properly defended or yourself getting attacked while exploring.

Only has 3 scenarios which hurts the replayability as not alot of reason to replay them.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall art style is nice and detailed with enemies own look and own attacks with levels that are fun to explore and have own feel to them and buildings all have own look to them and own uses and is a challenging game that keeps you on your toes. However for £11.99, no story made made me feel not connected and was very easy to fail which can be frustrating and the choices are not explained as just shows two pictures which are left to figure out yourself which can be confusing and only 3 scenarios to play gives you not alot of replayability to it.
