Having the most fun I’ve had with this game since I spent a couple hundred hours with it in early access.
The game changed a lot in the lead-up and aftermath of its official 1.0 release, particularly with the introduction of its differentiating gimmick from other auto-battler games, the Underlords, special characters who fight alongside your army and offer unique abilities. It’s no secret that the initial implementation of this feature was poor, rushed, just too complicated for the little depth it added to an already complex game. With that, along with many other big mechanical and aesthetic changes, increasingly bloated matches (50, even 60+ minutes for a good player in high ranks) and an unfortunately timed rank reset right before I entered the top tier, I quit the game.
But now everything is really streamlined and snappy, the game is as fun and exciting as ever, looks and runs great, and is really scratching my itch for its particular kind of multi-layered strategy. Too bad all the YouTubers / streamers I used to watch have moved on, but I’m glad to be back in for now.
