I love this game! It's a mix of genres that I find irresistable - strategy, medieval fantasy and city-building. It also has excellent graphics. I found it really interesting, absorbing and highly enjoyable, and in the later stages, it gets even better, because it becomes unusually challenging for a casual game.
However, I think there is some room for improvement, because the early game is a bit too easy, the hint system is a bit too "helpful", and all of the trophies relate to beating the clock, which is not my favourite approach to playing a strategy game. And also, I think the game finishes rather too quickly. I finished it in a few hours. There is plenty of scope for replayability, but that's mainly because you'll want to improve your set of trophies by finding quicker solutions. It would be fun if instead, you could replay the same levels with different goals.
The largest areas for potential improvement are really just game expansions, because this game offers such a strong enough foundation that I want a lot more of it! More levels, more quests, more trophies, and the opportunity to play the game in an alternative persistent mode, so that I could explore the city building side of things a lot more.
I think this is a really distinctive and original game, which does its developer great credit. I wish there were more casual strategy games which are as well crafted and as charming as this one.
I recommend this game!
