+ Quite a bit of depth in the strategy aspect as each unit has their own strengths and weaknesses and can be easily caught off-guard through the turn-order quickly shifting the tide of battle
+ Very similar to classic Chess in many aspects
+ Good background music
+ Easy to understand, but difficult to fully understand and master
+ Online multiplayer
- I did not like how all the actions of both sides take place at once. This means that if you are in range to attack a unit, and the enemy decides to move one space away, then you will essentially waste your turn. I feel like the game would improve a tad if there was a movement phase, and then a combat phase.
- I felt the draft mechanic was a bit strange, essentially units are randomized at the beginning of each game and then you get to take turns picking which units you want which makes both sides have slightly different units.
