Beat on loan from my coworker. Pretty sure I did both campaigns and everything the game had to offer. I enjoyed the story and cinematics (except for that scene with girls dancing to techno music, which was seriously out of place for ancient China).

Beat on loan from my coworker. Pretty sure I did both campaigns and everything the game had to offer. I enjoyed the story and cinematics (except for that scene with girls dancing to techno music, which was seriously out of place for ancient China). I tried to play it more like a strategy game, with battle lines, feints, ambushes, flanking etc, but this game barely qualifies as strategy. It felt like army composition, overall strategy and tactics did not matter, and in some cases made the game a bit harder (or at least take longer). A good example is if you flank an enemy already engaged with a unit, which forcibly switches view to the flanker, separates the enemy unit so that your units can't help each other kill the same soldiers, and your nukes from 1 unit will not affect the soldiers engaged with your other unit. The heroes are also awkward to control and I am not sure how much benefit there is to controlling them. Their spells are Final Fantasy summon FMV levels of long and unskipable.
Decent game but not worth playing again. 6.8/10.
