There's a lot of reviews here and they're pretty much either 5 stars or 1, so let me keep this very brief. If you like weird, dark, unusual games filled with lots of dialogue and mechanics you probably haven't seen anywhere else, check it out and try to give yourself some time to get into it. If you like straight-forward RPGs, adventure, action, sports games, etc., it's probably not for you.
So there seems to be 3 types camps for this game. 1) People who love it 2) People have trouble running it 3) People simply who find it boring I'm in the first camp ... I think this game is great. It's one of the few games I've played over and over again. I feel like each set of random maps I play presents new challenges I need to figure out in order to win. In my opinion, there's a lot of variety regarding leveling up your characters, towns and customizing your armies, etc. that I just never really get bored with it. Like virtually every game, there are a few things don't work well or as good as they should. But overall, at least on my system, it's solid and an enjoyable experience. The graphics are a little "cartoon-ish" but other that, I can't find too many complaints. If you can get it on sale at least, I recommend giving it a try.
