Gameplay is your standard turn-based, hex-based affair with a myriad of units and options available every turn. Each unit has a set number of movement points, and terrain houses certain bonuses for certain troops. Archers get a boost when they fire from hills, and defenders are nearly impregnable when set up behind city walls. All told, there are over 100 different units to choose from, ranging from infantry and cavalry to aerial troops, dragons and more; each can gain levels and earn upgrades. In addition, the game features five hero characters who have access to some pretty impressive powers that allow them to lay waste to large hordes of baddies pretty much single-handedly. These heroes can also be leveled up, meaning that with a few battles under your belt, you'll quickly build up a rather formidable fighting force.
While the strategy is turn-based, the battles play out in real time, and players can zoom in and watch the carnage up close. The visuals in the title look crisp and clean, and the struggles are realistically violent and satisfying to watch. They're all basically little things, but they add up to a pretty game.
