Just “Okay”

The graphics, sounds, and attention to detail are nice. What sucks is essentially the AI will just throw everything at you when offense, causing your men to break. On defense, it takes forever to make even the worst units break.

Too small

Thanks for wasting my money everyone with the good reviews. I suppose it could be a good game but it’s way too small on an iPhone and you can’t zoom in enough. Very frustrating.
