Feb. 2025
It is a very good strategy game and it is well thought out. I notice they listen to the community when making updates and try to make sure there are no bugs/exploits. My only critiques are that the bots can be too easy and that some older niche troops are absolute garbage now. Also it is very hard to find an online match

I have played this game lots on mobile and strongly recommend playing on there. The only reason why I say that is because you can play games online and play them over time.

Simple, yet addictive. Usually I am not much into strategy games but this one strikes the right balance in features and gameplay. Easy to find yourself lost in a hour long battle and just relax. Also spent countless hours playing the mobile version back in the day

This game really doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's a fun game especially when with friends and allows you to pick a tribe that suits your play style and strategies. It isn't necessarily the most fun by yourself but in a group with others it can be a really good time.
