A lot of game lack of Identity, we know that, everyone gets inspired by someone else and sometimes is hard to be creative, there are, of course, some exceptions, AoD is a strategy/story driven CRPG and it does not pretend to be anything else, and that simple fact makes it unique, the game have both cool combat system and a well written story. Now I want to talk about the obvious here, difficulty (combat build only): This game is balanced, nor hard or easy, balanced. A balanced game is one that have a lot of options and, when you know how it works, it invites to play as you like, this is AoD, the moment you get a feeling of it, you set your own limits, and not a lot of games achieved this and when they do is just *chef kiss*. You'll need to search things up tho there's a video on how to "get op", or you can do like me, and test a lot of build until you find something you enjoy playing.
The game is technically well done but it seems to me they didn't focus on the combat as they should, you're character is fast af when all the enemies are dumb and slow, it brakes the experience.
